Home sweet home! :)

Nå er sommeren snart over, rekordvarme dager, sol og mye reising frem og tilbake til Lofoten... Og forrige uke var jo opp og ned, Lofoten, Bodø, Tromsø og tilbake siden mamma hadde netthinneløsning på et øye og måtte opereres ~ det gikk kjempefint! Og innimellom fikk jeg jo shoppet litt også ;) Er bare SÅ deilig å endelig være hjemme igjen, og kunne kose meg ordntlig på scrapperommet mitt, og pakke ut nye herligheter... [skal legge ut et bilde av allt stæsjet her!]

Ukens utfordring hos Creative Fingers #46. er sponset av OddBall Art Stamps, og som alltid er det 'Lag-hva-du-vil' med et valgfritt tema som denne gangen er å bruke 'tekstur'. Utfordringen varer i 14dager, så her er tid nok å være med :)

"Next time you think of beautiful things, don't forget to think about yourself!"

SO good to be back home! After staying in Lofoten almost all summer long, and travelling back and forth, it's sweet to relax and enjoy my scraprooms treasures again :) Got my inks and stampmotifs with me when I'm away, but inspiration to create (and all the stuff to do so with) is in my scraproom ofcourse.. would be difficult to carry all that ~ they joke that I got more supplies than a whole store.. which probably is true! *lol*

This weeks challenge #46. at Creative Fingers (will run for 2 weeks) is sponsored by OddBall Art Stamps, and the Theme is as always Anything Goes, with an optional twist this week of using 'Texture' on your project. You are most welcome to join in! :)

Owl tag for my Mum ♥

Merker at denne sommeren har fløyet bort når jeg kommer til bloggen min! *tørker støv* Har vært i Lofoten stort sett siden slutten av mai, noen snarturer innom hjemme, rasket med meg litt ting og tang i kofferten... Å glemme klær går an, glemme distress inks'ene er umulig! :) 
Sist vi var hjemme i Blokken var hybelkaninene blitt så store at jeg nesten snublet i dem! *hehe* Hvem gidder å dra frem støvsugeren i den varmen som har vært? Og midt i all den fartingen frem og tilbake? Neida, satt heller med ei vifte i nærheten, iskald pepsimax og scræppet en tag til mammaen min, med ei ugle på siden hun er så glad i dem ♥

Ukens utfordring hos Creative Fingers #45. er sponset av DillyBeans, og som alltid er det 'Lag-hva-du-vil' med et valgfritt tema som denne gangen er å bruke 'Fargen SORT + andre farger', men hovedsaklig sort! Siden det er sommer vil den vare i 14dager, så her er tid nok å være med :)

Min niese på 10 år tok dette flotte bildet her på Hammerstad Camping :)

 

Helt fantastisk sommervær iår! Oppe i 32°C! Har jo hatt noen torden dager også ~ og duallverden for et regnskyll, trodde det var syndefloden som stod for døren... om jeg hadde trodd på sånt da ;) Men i morgen blir det visst sol og fint vær igjen ~ og da blir det kansje tur på Vikinge festivalen ~ Lofotr museumet på Borg iløpet av helga? 

I know that I've been absent when I get to my blog and have to dust away imaginary dust-bunnies! ;) The time has just flown by, summers gone soon and now it's almost fall.. 
Well, at least it's livable now! There's been times with record tropical heat, up to 32°C here on Hammerstad Camping ~ fantastic for northern Norway, just check out the pretty postcard photo my 10 year old niece took with her iPad up above! Have had som days now with thunder and lighting, and such heavy rainfall.. thought we might need Noahs ark.. ;) But tomorrows forecast is sunny again, so we might get to go to the Viking festival at Lofotr viking museum this weekend!

Me and my mum are different in many ways, I'm much more of the brown/dark fan, as for her, she tends to like the white vintage romance style. I read Stephen King & like my solitude.. She reads the Bible & love the company of others.. But we love alot of the same things too ~ our family, vintage, owls & cats, sci-fi, art & crafts, painting.. quotes!
"Life is a Journey... Not a destination!" So don't be in a hurry to get there ~ take your time in each moment & enjoy the sights, make memories, enjoy creating & sharing ♥
