It’s another sunny day here at my place. IT FEELS SO GOOD!!

After 4 moths without sunshine (on our house, I might add) – I simply can’t get enough of those beautiful and warming sun rays.

Today I plan to do a lot of this and that. Getting my house in a cleaner shape and get a good start on a few things I’ve been putting off for too long. I have the whole day by my self since MT is going to a birthday party after school and will be gone all day. He’s going to have SO MUCH FUN (they are going to a swimming pool and he just loves that! Poor teachers, they are going to have a hard time getting the class to focus ). And I plan to have some FUN here all by my self. Drink a lot of coffee, play music and catch up on a few games on Facebook. And, off course, do some house chores as well (can’t forget about the initial plan, now can I?!) And if I get around to it I will see if I can get the comment-issue fixed here on my blog (and do a little upgrade too). Not to mention that my laptop is driving me crazy and is in need of some attention too. Ok, I’ll do one thing at a time and then we’ll see how far down my list I can get Nice to have some time to relax and regroup as well.

Enjoy your Monday!!

Photos from yesterday. It was a mighty nice and beautiful day of rest and quiet. I even took my bike out of the garage and brought MT home from school on it.

He was so happy (he love riding on the bike with me – and it’s almost all downhill from his school so it’s easy for me as well) – and I got some fresh air and a bit exercise as well.

When we got back home I brought my camera and went down to the mailbox on foot to capture some fall shoots. MT joined me riding his bike. Nice

We’ve had so few sunny day this summer (we’ve had some, but according to me: not enough!) – so this sunny September is highly appreciated!!

There is something fresh and crisp with fall sunny days. And it’s easy to catch a cold too, because the weather really isn’t that warm(!) In the morning it’s been only 4-5 degrees above zero (Centigrade). And that is cold enough to wear a thick jacket if you ask me (and not MT). Hoping it’s stays above zero for a few more week… although I long too shoot macros of  the deep orange and red leafs too (and usually we need some nights with frost to get those colors in the leafs).

I’ll miss summer – I really love that season and the ease of life; but now I’m ready to embrace fall season – hoping for more sun than rain, though

Can you believe it?!  Winter is melting away

Spring has finally decided to come to our block of land.

I’m so happy and love taking photos of all the new life surrounding us. Especially the flowers popping up! Hehe, can you see it was MT picking these two beauties?! He’s picking only the head, nearly no stem

I think hepatica (or what do you call this?!) is one of my favorite flowers – along with it’s white colored cousin (I found some of those today, photos coming…).

We are celebrating Mother’s Day in Norway this second Sunday of February.

Mom

I’ve been following Janet at The Daily Digi since she started the site on Jan 1st – and I always love to read what she writes – usually it’s scrap booking stuff. But today she made a post about the Invisible Mom. I highly recommend a visit to her not matter if you like scrap booking or not; no matter if you are a mom or mom to be, a grand mother or a young mother; this is a story to be happy about, maybe a little proud as well

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!

Now we are going out. It’s fantastic weather outside and we have both been to church (I worked as the pastor, MT was  a good kid and sat by himself) and eaten dinner. I promised MT to go skiing, it will be the first time for this season. Look forward to it and hopefully I can manage them (the slipperly long things under my feets) – I don’t do this so ofen (as I should) and have no balance what so ever, or that’s what it feels like! I don’t think I dare to bring the camera, so you wont see photos of me falling…. LOL. Have a nice day!!

Jess is out with another kit at her sunshine studio scraps store. I got to be among the first ones scrapping with it. So fun, and also a challenge since pink isn’t really my color – but there is lots of other colors too

If you pop over to the store you can see that she also has quick pages made, leafs to go with the flowers and even some printables. Lots of GOOD stuff!!

This kit is perfect for Valentines day and for scraps of your loved ones – and, as you can see, it even works for BOYS and firework!!!

Here is my first go:

Here is my second go, a bit simpler approach! The above took me more or less all weekend to finish – this one below took a couple of hours
