THANK YOU MANDA!

OK....so it hasn't even been a day, but I just HAVE to share this.

Manda sent me this lovely wedding present - a quilt - it says *congratulations* and *February 11. 2006* and I just SOOOOO LOVE it. The photo does no justice at all, you should all see it. Manda...you're ABsolutely aMAzingly talented and creative and I can't wait for it, to hang on my wall!!!! Oh and she sent me some lovely fabric as well......I'm so so lucky ;o)

My son also received a package today. It was from his MiniSwap partner Cassidy - her Mom doesn't have a blog, but you can see his goodies here. He got A LOT of great stuff.  He was SOOO exited and it made me all joyous and misty-eyed to see him like that! SWEET!

We have some great stuff, to wrap up for Cassidy too and it's going out of here at the end of the week.....I'm focusing on that now ;o)

My Lovely Wedding

We had such a wonderful time Saturday. We had planned a simple wedding. A short (5 minute) ceremony, held by our Mayor, at our local Town Museum. We had invited 50 people - family and friends - to our house after wards. We ended up being 35-40 grown ups and kids, all having a glorious time. We had a buffet and beer. We had cake and coffee. We got spoiled rotten with huge gifts. And now I'm a stay at home Mom. I'm a Wife. I am HAPPY!

Aaaahhh....and the sun was shining for a change!

Now take a look at our pressies.....

1. Stelton Thermos             2. Margrethe Bowls           3. Moccamaster

4. Karen Blixen Vases        5. Alvar Aalto vases         6. Queen Ingrid Plant

7. Swing Vases                      8. Le Creuset shakers        9. Menu "thingie" for hot pans

10. Louise Langgaard        11. Tiny Anna-Karin        12.  Aino Aalto glasses (10)       

Ceramic candleholders     Dahl Ceramic Vases

 

Can you believe the *pretty-ness*? Oh...it's sooo gorgeous...all of it!

We got a  large Le Creuset jug, 2 small ramekins and a skillet - all in orange - that arrives in a few days.

We also got a third Stelton Thermos, that I will swap for an Aino Aalto pitcher.

The money we got, is up for discussion though! My husband wants eletronics and I want these:

Anyway...my husband is still away and I woke up BEFORE 6 this morning!!! Well it gave me time to catch up a bit - here in Blogland!

***THANKS AGAIN EVERYBODY - FOR ALL YOUR KIND WORDS***

Here's our FAVORITE present though.

Let me present....

*******THANK YOU EVERYBODY, FOR THE SUPER WONDERFUL COMMENTS, BEST WISHES AND CONGRATULATIONS - I SO SO APPRECIATE IT AND LOVE IT! IT'S BEEN AN AMAZING WEEKEND AND I'M REALLY EXHAUSTED.....THANKS AGAIN TO ALL OF YOU!*******

         

Monday:

Today is my daughter's first "official" day at home. My son will be on winter break all week and my husband is away for the next few days, with work. This week we'll start on our Mini Swap projects and hopefully finish them too ;o) 

Super Surprise

Today I got such a wonderful surprise - my first wedding present! And I sooo appreciate the GORGEOUS wrapping and great taste of Alicia. I had sent her my 2 Christmas cards and she got me ALL THIS!

So now I've got some more *cuteness* for my shadowbox - which is not a shadowbox, but a...oh now I forgot? *Now I know: printers tray*. Anyway I don't think I'll have ALL by myself. Look at my son - ready to *snatch* some goodies and my daughter says "MINE" to the pink elephant!?! She says that to my tits too.....she looks at me, slap my tit and firmly says: "MINE"! - Well I still breastfeed her ;o)

Well...all the goodies, was a perfect ending to a glorious day, spent shoe shopping for my wedding dress! I got these wonderful purple suede shoes, with a *tulip-toe*! And ON SALE!

These next few days, will probably be blog-free for me - I HAVE A WEDDING TO BE PREPARED FOR ON SATURDAY! So everybody have a nice weekend and see ya next week with PHOTOS!

WE DO!

Yay...as of February 1. I am officially a stay at home Mom.

Thanks to all of you, who wrote me about this subject. It really means a lot to me and I have hopefully gotten back to each of you.

Well, lots of things have been done and more to come:

• My daughter have been taken out of daycare. (Officially February 15.)
• My son's day in kindergarten will be 9-1:30. (And only paying for that!)
• Our house mortgage payments will stand still, for these years. 
• I've quit the well fare system!!!
• We can get MARRIED and will do so sometime in February as well.

We were actually gonna get married secretly in September 2003. We had it all set up with paper work, our son was gonna stay with Grandparents and we were going to honeymoon in Paris!

Then I was hit with depression and came into the well fare system, which means my boyfriend would have to provide for us, if we got married. We couldn't afford that, so we didn't get married - but we did have a WONDERFUL  weekend in Paris!

Yep....that's us....Self Portraying in Paris. Every time I see a SPT post, I think of us doing these photos ;o) So we already had the Honeymoon - time for a wedding!

Lovely book

I just found this lovely book at the library. It's called: "Strikkede dyr" (knitted animals) and it's absolutely wonderful.

Today I have to share a link! It's this super cool vintage shop called Retro Wardrobe. They have lovely dresses, shoes, awesome decor and even wedding dresses ;o)

I just think they're sooo cool....I could get married in one of those :o) Honey???
