The Sweetest Thing

We're back from our early spring break. River Mosel was brilliant! view was spactacular! definitely one of the places to visit for those wine drinkers. for non wine drinkers (like us), well, you'll be in with a huge treat as well! you'll be amazed to see long, very long stretches of vineyards along the entire stretch of river and you'll enjoy the charms of little German villages! and if you're into roman history, well, make sure you go for the tours! lovely!

We went from Trier to Koblenz! wonderful experience!!

Anyway, Aidan's not well since monday. i have only a few mins to spare today before i nurse him. here are a few cards i made just before i left for your German trip.

Made this card for Shannen. a friend of mine who lives up north in den haag. i met her once at a friend's place in Eindhoven. this was made for her mum in law. i am so pleased and happy she and Arthur liked the card! i knew i had to use mild pastel colours and i wanted to add the lace i bought at Czech Repupblic. nice contrast. i hope our birthday girl will like it too!

This second card i made out of scraps. i have pilles and pilles of scrap papers and it will be such a waste to throw them all. you can make a lot out of them. i hardly throw anything! and before you know it, you'll ended up having boxes and boxes of left over papers and ribbons!!

But i can assure you that they will come handy one day!



Last but not least, one special card i made last week for a dear dear friend of mine. a very special person in my life, my very best friend Yoyo. it was her birthday last monday. we were still in Germany at that time, and as soon as Aidan woke up, the first thing he mentioned was "tante yoyo"!

We rushed for my phone and quickly called her. we sang her a couple of birthday songs (one's in dutch and one's in english!) and it was just joyful!

I can never stop telling people about this one special person in my life. she's trully a remarkable person. we share a lot of things together, we've been through quite a life, a journey together, she listens to me whining (she's a really patient!), hardy, well maybe never complaints... she's so encouraging and supportive. we had lots of fun together, we share some common dreams and i will always, always be thankful and remember what she did for me. she stood by me and was really strong for me through the years. all those words on the card meant so so much to me.

She's ever so sweet and a lovely person and i cant wait for us to catch up and meet again. i miss her and i think of her always!

Happy Birthday Yo!

You know what i wish for you... always the best, the very best cause you trully deserve each and every bit of it! love you loads!

Ok girls, i should be off now. most unpacking are almost done, a few laundry to do and a few projects to finish. thanks ever so much for hopping by. thanks for all those lovely comments as always, you brighten out my day! till next time....
