2. december en HELT speciel dag - Today is a SPECIAL day

I dag for 30 år siden (ja ja - jeg var selvfølgelig knapt 10 år da jeg blev mor) besluttede Mie sig for at blive et Decemberbarn. TIL LYKKE skat og tak for i går,
sikken en fin fest du havde arrangeret.

Today 30 years ago (and before you start doing the math - YES I was a very young mother - lets say 10 years old....) Mie decided she wanted to be a December baby. CONGRATULATIONS sweetie and that was one heck of a party you had yesterday. Well done!

23 dage til jul - One down - 23 to go

Kom desværre først til computeren efter 01:00 - da jeg pludseligt fik "cookie-problemer".

Så er de første små juleting begyndt at kravle frem fra gemmerne. I gamle dage pyntede vi aldrig op før EFTER vi havde fejret Mies fødselsdag, fordi hun skulle have lov til at have en julefri fødselsdag, men efter hun er flyttet hjemmefra kan vi starte fra 1. december. Så her er de første faste gæster i mit julehus.

Had pc-cookie problems - hence the delay. The first tiny signs of Christmas is popping up here and there at my house. When my daughter Mie was young we never had any decorations up till after her B-day party as we wanted her to have a birthday that didn't look like Christmas but since she left the nest we start decorating from December 1st. These are some of the first things to surface.

Nedtælling til jul - Christmas countdown

Ideen er fra min cyperven Erica i USA, men jeg har valgt et andet foto, da vi jo ikke har 25 decemberdage til juleaften her i landet. Jeg har taget hendes udfordring med at blogge HVER dag i hele december måned. Måske kun et foto, en vits, et par linjer eller et SKRIG OM HJÆLP - men "noget" hver dag. Så på gensyn her i min juleblog. Jeg ELSKER jul - så de 5 min. ekstra kan jeg vel bare sove mindre i december - hvem mere er med???

My good friend Erica has a challenge on her blog. "Who will blog every day in December until Xmas" she asked. I had to use a different photo - as we celebrate xmas on the 24th in Denmark - but believe it or not - I plan to blog every day - sometimes just a few lines, a photo, a joke or A CRY FOR HELP =0) - but something every day. I looooove xmas - so what the heck - I can just sleep 5 minutes less daily in December to make time to honour Erica's command. Welcome to my Crazy Xmas blog. Who else is up for this???

Så er han her igen - L@@K who's back...

Så er det nissetid igen og denne lille fyr er på vej frem af gemmerne for at besøge vores barnebarn. Jeg syede ham for nogle år siden - og har nu lige klippet en til en veninde der vil sy ham til sit barnebarn - rigtig sød pakkekalender - og velegnet til børn der kun kan overskue 1 pakke ad gangen - da sækken bare er tom indtil næste dag (dvs. ingen plageri og tudekiks nødvendigt). Nu skal pakkerne "bare" lige pakkes ind.

It's time again for this guy to surface and go visit our grandson. I made him (the pixie NOT the GS) a couple of years ago - and have just prepared a set of materials ready to sew together for my friend as she would like to make one for her GS. He is perfect for todlers as there is only one parcel in his sack every day - i.e. no need to whine or cry - when it's empty it's empty. Now all I have to do is wrap the parcels.

Jeg MÅTTE bare lave noget nyt /I felt I had to share something new..

Jamen nu har jeg jo rundet 4000 besøg - det er da HELT vildt dejligt - og mere end 20 har været her siden jeg kiggede sidst i går - SÅ SKAL der da også være noget nyt at kigge på - så her er to kort jeg har lavet i dag. Et babykort til vores venner i Skotland i anledning af at lille Skye er kommet til verden i går. Kortet åbner lige efter den hvide bølgekant. Det andet kort er til lille Nikolaj's barnedåb - her valgte jeg zig-zag kant for at gøre det lidt mere "maskulint". Bogstaver er Quickutz Moxie og Diesel - ordet BABY er fra Sizzix babysæt

What do you know now - I turned my back and ZOOOM - my counter is now over 4000. THANKS a million for stopping by and for leaving your comments - it means a lot to me! And I really felt I had to make sure there was something new to look at and made these two cards today. One for baby Skye in Scotland - she was born early yesterday morning and I can't wait to see her IRL. This card opens right after the scalloped edge. The other card is for a friends son - for his Christening - I went for the zig-zag border on this to make it less girly. QK alfabeths used are: Moxie and Diesel the word BABY is from the Sizzix baby set.

Minialbum til nybagt mor...

Det lille minialbum Birthe holdt kursus i hos Scrapshop. Her i Margit og min udgave - det skal bruges som kort sammen med en barselsgave til en nybagt mor. Hvis hun så også skulle blive lidt grebet at ideen med at scrappe - så er det jo helt OK !!!

Margit and I made this mini maze book for a young mum. She just had her first baby and we made this instead of a card to go with the gift we have for her. Should she end up being interested in scrapping after receiving this tiny album - we are not REALLY to blame are we ???
