Giveaway!

 
As promised I have a giveaway today on the day of my 4th year of blogging.I am down big time with a cold, hopefully not the flu (but one can't be sure.) So the whole story about 'Why smurfs?' and 'What's with the smurfs?' will come another day. Also a post/feedback about my recent pol - please feel free still to join!

Anyway...the giveaway is a photograph (by me of course)...well actually two photographs. All you have to do is leave a comment telling me which one you prefer: 1 or 2 (or if both) and I'll draw two lucky winners on the 7th!

 
For close ups:

1. 'Mood Smurfs'
2. 'Sews A Lot' 
 

Looking Back

This thing with my 4 th. Bloggaversary coming up has made me take a look back at the beginning of my Blog. I mean FOUR years! How did it all begin? And where is it all going? When I think about the beginning names come to mind. Like Camilla Engman, A Ervilha Cor de Rosa, Angry Chicken, Bird in the hand, Little Birds, Wee Wonderfuls, Lizette Greco. I think they all inspired me to start blogging. They still inspire me. I don't know about the rest of you but since then it feels like Blogland has exploded! There are so many new (and some not so new) wonderful and inspiring Blogs out there - it's overwhelming - and I can't keep track of all of them. Heck I can't even keep track of those passing through here every day - some 300+ - even though I wished I had the time to get to know more of you. In the beginning I felt like I knew my Blog buddies, you know? And now I'm just all over the place!

Anyway...I don't know where my blogging is going but it has definately been a great way to document the life of myself and my kids. Take a look at how small they were!

And look at them now!

If you've made it this far in my post I would love it if you would leave a comment just stating your age + country + how often you drop by my Blog? I saw Elisabeth doing this a while back and found it very interesting. And I wanna know too!

1. Age?
2. Country?
3. How often do you drop by?

Have a great week every one ;o) 

Giveaway Teaser

My 4th Bloggaversary is coming up and I thought I'd do my very first giveaway! So remember November 3rd and stop by to see if you'd be interested in something like this...not exactly this but something like it...

What Dogs Do When Left Alone

Starring

The Fearless

Manfred

He will crawl through mud

He will jump high but climb even higher

He will wrestle with tigers

He will chase the gazelles and eat an elephant

He is Manfred

The Fearless Dog

This little pup has somehow gotten up the window ceiling and grabbed our potholders, climbed the dining table to eat the snout of a plush tiger, he has dragged down kitchen towels from their rack and had a ball with our collection of old newspapers, eaten the zipper of my sons new hooded shirt and eaten a big chunk of my favorite chair! But who can resist his charms?

 

 

Coming soon to a theater near you

 

The Birds Are Leaving

Yeah...the birds are definately leaving....it's really getting colder. And darker. The kids believes it's still night time when we get up in the morning.

(The birds above has been on my wishlist for years. From Susan Liebe.)

Aaaaaaand...

...I turned 35.

My lovely norwegian boots has made it 5 years. Well maybe they haven't really made it. If you take a close look at this photo for Bench Monday, you can tell they're absolutely trashed! Anyway...I've tried to cover them up with Australian cardy socks from UGG that my girlfriend gave me for my birthday. Actually I'll wear them with any foot wear these days as they're simply gorgeous.

The fuzzy part in the lower left corner is this pretty owl. My Mom has really picked up my 'tiny' owl theme....she also brought me glass owl a from Prague!

Below is my very cherished braided bracelet from my kids. They now I love leather. And purple.

 

Cat In The Box

I think it all started with Andrea Larsson when she was based in the basement below creme de la creme a la edgar in Copenhagen. She made/makes everything where you can plaster on wallpaper which has now settled into the company Daisy. I'm talking about boxes. All kinds of boxes. Clad in any kind of paper and I see them everywhere.I bought some purple ones from Bungalow a while back, for a girlfriends birthday but since she has a huge wall of book cases, I decided she needed some more. So with a few old shoe boxes, cute paper from Rie Elise Larsen and spray glue in hand, I set out making her some new boxes. (I forgot to photograph the first one as I was so eager to give it to her.)

Inside each box I tucked in one of my cats. I had promised her two of them a long time ago and finally came around to actually making some. Close-up of front and back. Now they sit in her window and the boxes looks super-fine with the rest of her boxes.

Yeah! I made something with my hands. What a nice break from studying: Reading and typing. We're on 'Fall break' here so the kids and I putter about while Hubby's at work...
