3 Months

I am so grateful to be able to post this layout. After all the years of trying to have another baby, the miscarriage, the difficult pregnancy and the traumatic birth - here he is. Healthy as can be, happy and such a content baby. We are truly blessed. Based on sketch 39 by frosted designs.

Here are some details:

Balance and a give-away

Last weekend, we took a wonderful trip to Burgenland. There were many fun activities for kids as well as for adults. DD loved being out in the woods! Here she is balancing on a slack line with the help of this good looking forest ranger.

I LOVE the Prima line Meadow Lark. It is so pretty, romantic and beautiful! I used the Sketch Nr 204 from Creative Scrappers.

Here are some close ups:

Isn't that bird cute?

The tags are so versatile. One serves as hidden journaling.

And of course the flowers.....ahhhhhh.

And to the give away! My friend Conny just started her own online shop. It is simply great and her service is outstanding!!!! Check it out and you can win vouchers for her shop. Scrap Me

Leftover Card

So I was cleaning up my scrap place and had bits and pieces left over. I was simply too lazy to sort the small pieces of paper in their appropriate places so I made a card. Quick, simple and my table is cleaned up!

Yesterday, I discovered a different section of Austria- the South of Burgenland. We had a fun day there - the educational program of the forest management is fun, educational and interesting for kids as well as adults.

I finally got a half way decent family photo!

On our way home back to Vienna, we passed by this Castle. What a view!

Thanks for stopping by and all the best!

Life is good!

I finally got some time to finish my Easter layout.

I love the Garden Girl from Bo Bunny! The colors were perfect to go with the snow jacket (YES, we looked for eggs while the snow was falling).

Here are some close ups:

Life is good when you are greeted by such a smile every day! I cannot believe, he is already 3,5 months old. Today, he learned to turn over. No more tummy time for him! He hates it!

Just married - altered canvas

I truly enjoyed my little time out! We were 6 girls, all scrapping away. My scrapper friend Conny is a fabulous and patient teacher and I loved trying out new things. I am so happy with the result - although if I were to do it again, I would place the flowers a bit more away from the picture - it looks a bit crowded.

Here are some close ups:

Cute

Creative scrappers had the perfect sketch for this photo. DS just loves his bunny rabbit. He likes to eat his ears, wrestle with it and when he takes his nap, the bunny rabbit keeps the pacifier in place. (of course only when we supervise him very closely - we do not want to risk SIDS)

I used a wild mix of all different brands for this layout. Since I cleaned up and organized my scrapplace, I can find everything and use my stuff! (I am very proud that I finally got it done. I have been procrastinating for months!)

Now I am off to a 2 hour crop with friends. I really need a bit of time out.
Thanks for stopping by!
All the best,

Home SWIRLYDOOS

My two kids are just wonderful, sweet and full of energy - especially when it comes to bed time! As you can see in the photo, I am already exhausted while they still have lots of energy. The challenge at Once Upon A Sketch was HOME: For me, home is our couch! We bought it when we first moved in together (a million years ago...) This is where we lay when we are sick, we read to the kids, our guests sleep here, we fight and we love there.
