And so i finish also the card with the title yow: your own word. My one word this year is balance. I'm trying to get some balance between work and free time. , between relax and being very busy and spending time for myself and with my family. When the year is over i shall tell you if i can find my balance.

Made me think of you

The prompt of this week is about: made me think of you.
When i read this sense i had to think on the tradition of my mother. Every christmas she make a puzzle with a 1000 pieces. Most of the time a landscape of the mountains and a lake. Only this year she make a puzzle with comic, the drawer is Jan van Haasteren.

Home sweet home

Emily has ask her for this prompt to make something about home.
So i've tried to make a card with photoshop on my mac. the challenge for me is learn to make something with photoshop that is why i make this card. Maybe i will try to make this card with sheet and a photo. yes, i will do that when i have more time.
I took 2 pictures one of the backyard and the clock. In the summer we are most of the time in the backyard. Adne is playing with his toys and we are enjoying the sun.
We live here more then 6 years and still it's okay. Only soon we hope we can buy a new kitchen because this one is ugly. The colour is green/blue. Only we have no idea about a new colour and using the right space. So is there anybody for a nice solution.
At this moment is raining and storming out side that is why we spend our spare time in the neighbourhood of the wood stoof. The warm of wood stoof is so lovely better than central heating.

Deck of my update

Today i finished my grateful project. Throw this prompt i realize that there is always something to be grateful for.
Everyday i will looking now for something i'm grateful for.














Week 25: a photo that means something to you....
This photo means a lot to me because this photo is token when Adne is for the first time in the snow. He was 9 months old. Anouk is Adne's best friend. They have played a lot time to gether and the still play together.



















Week 24: rembember when......
When i read this prompt i realize that there are people who love me no matter what happend. Thank you guys for your ever lasting love. It also make a little bit sad.














Week 23: right now.
I liked this prompt because throw this prompt i realize that my life is okay. When i look back at this year not everything is looking so good. I start in January with a fever but the fever became a sickness with no name. I was still laying in my bed with 40 degrees and sweeting. In May the sickness is getting a name. With this name i slowly recover. My condition was so bad that i can walk 500 metres in 15 minutes and have to rest for a hour. After the summer i can walk 5 km in a hour and there are less moments that i have to rest.
And now in October i can run 3 km in 25 minutes, so i can see i'm back in life again.
Only there are moments when everything is going bad and at that moment that is a little attack and that is still can go on with my life.
That is also the reason why in the period January till June there a few post.










Tomorrow i will post the prompt off this week. SCarY.
Have a nice day.

Love Simone

The prompt of week 27: junk mail.

Magic carpet

The prompt from Emily: is magic carpet.










When i read about the magic carpet at that moment i was thinking about the holidays in France and Norway. In France we go for the days full of sun. We go swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. The water is then about 20 degrees Celsius.
In Norway we go for the snow. ( in the summer in the mountains there is a lot of snow).

In week 29 the prompt is perfect.











The text is Throw your eyes the world is perfect, throw my eyes inperfect. I hope that you can change it.
The world is (in)perfect. If i look the world i think the world is inperfect because it always there is possible why that can go better but that has to there also experience that you have seen already a lot of things and can come along you it there compare.
When you are still a child then are possible you draw from the impressions which you have made up still but and then the world sees, however, differently.


Week 28 is goal of the week














The goal of this week is clean my scraproom because it is a mess. I have the size of playing card to work on. And that isn't much.

Emily's prompt this week is not anymore. You can translate it in a lot of different opions. Little chidern grow up, your own habits can change. I learn throw the years to try be myself and like myself.

When i tought at this prompt i realize that i like to spend most of my time with my family and friends. Sometimes means that i can't scrap or do some work for my job. When I was very sick I have realised what family and friends for you can mean.
