The joy of snow

The night between Tuesday and Wednesday a snowstorm hit Denmark. We woke up to a beautiful snowscape.......but soon all the problems started....how should we go down to the cars and would it be possible to drive to work, when there were about ½ meter snow on our road.

There were a lot of traficcaos because it was blowing a lot. The wind made snowdrifts on the roads....so it was very hard to drive.

Well my sweet husband drove me to work and picked me up again.....and when we arrived safely at home I went out and took some beautiful photos ......take a look

as you can see we got a lot of snow.......even my car which stod in the garage was covered with snow.

Today it began to thaw and sudden there were dreping water down from the ceiling. Anders went up on the roof and took some roofing tiles of and guess what....the loft was full of snowdrifts

I love snow .......it´s beautiful but it´s also means a lot of troubel ;O)

Fun with Distress Ink.

Tomorrow I´m going to teach a class in distressink. I´m a bit nervous because I never do a class like that before , so I have been playing with distress ink the entity day. After prepareing for my class tomorrow I look through my distress books byTim Holtz and came across a very sweet idea for a altered book I just have to try to make it..........take a look

The book cover is made by clipboard and it`s put together with two pices of rule and two bolts with nuts ( lucky that I´m married to a carpenter) the small letters got some glossy accents and the frame is colored with distress ink and water.

I made some accents with bottle caps, letters, stickers and glossey accents.....and glue them on some hair neddles....take a closer look

It was so fun to make this book and I`m think I`m ready for my class tomorrow....well they are not going to make a book like this......they are going to learn about distress ink and some diffrent techniques.

By the way today we celebrate shrovetide and here is a photo of my sweet daughter dress up as a Chinese

I've been tagged!

Yes, I have been tagged by a cyber friend from across the big ocean. The sweet and talented Jaci has asked me to name 6 things that are weird about me.

This was hard to come up with some answer to this because I´m a normally women ;O) but her they come :

I have to pee 10 time before I go to sleep…….it’s a bad habit from the time I was pregnant with my daughter.

I always brush my teeth after drinking my morning tea. I can’t stand the feeling of tannic acid on my teeth

I ´m grumpy in the morning

I do the dishes the most queer times…..day and night

I never learn how to use a paper trimmer.

I just have to by all scrapbooking magazines I go by
