HI girls,
Yeah, I know!!! It took me ages to update again. But here I am again with a post full of pics
Last week Eric and I went to Tunesia for 1 week. The weather was great, the people are so friendly and the country is so beautiful. I took about 400 pics for just one week. Can you believe that? I'll upload a first part now and the other part tomorrow. Have fun watching them.

We went to Djerba Explorer. It shows how people used to live on the island.

It was the last day of the hotel. It's closed now because it will move to another destination on Djerba. So all the staff was saying goodbye as we were the last guests

Look what I got for my birthday on August 29th. I got this fantastic gift from my boyfriend Eric. Still haven't played with it but right now I'm making a mini album about last Autumn.

Birthday weekend

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:36:19 GMT

Hi girls,

The last weekend of August, Eric and I went on a citytrip to our capital Brussels. We had a wonderful time and finally some time to relax. It has been very busy at the café and I had lots of work for school. Yeah, school started again on Monday so that's why I haven't updated yet. When I get home, I'm so tired that I don't have the power to do much. I do some work for school and litte housework too. That means I have lots of clothes to wash and to iron this weekend.

Enjoy the pics of Brussels. I hope to update more in the next days

Love you all!!

My new working space and scraproom

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:37:35 GMT

Hello girls,
Here I am again with my pics.
You can see my desk with pc. That's where I work for school (for those who don't know: I'm a teacher in primary school). School starts on September 1st. I'm already working on some things so that's why it looks so messy.

This is my scraproom (or a babyroom later).

Storage item for alphabets, stamps, stickers, ... On the shelves are some scrapbooking books and magazines. Oh yes, and my albums too.

My paint, paintdabbers, rubons, flowers ....

My stash of patterned paper. My cardstock is in the black storage item that you can see on the second pic.

Finally

Here are the first pics of our new home. I took the first one during the moving so it's still very messy. Other pics will follow soon. Haven't taken any of the bathroom, study, scrapbook room,...
Need to do some cleaning now as I unpacked the last boxes. We are having 2 couples coming over for lunch so the house needs to look tidy.
Have a wonderful weekend and let me know what you think about the pics.

The cats are enjoying their new home

I love those flowers

Pfffffffffffffffff, we finally moved into our new home. The past days were so hectic that I didn't have time to be online. There are still lots of boxes that need to be cleaned out but the house looks cosy already. The first night in our new bedroom was weird. We woke up several times but fell asleep again. I really need to take some pics to show you so check my blog daily. Have to go again but just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive, haha.

Are you on facebook? If you are, just let me know your addy and then I'll add you to my friends. This is my page: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=751720084

Moving day is coming closer and closer ...

Tuesday afternoon the carpenter came to install the kitchen. We choose a dark wooden colour and it looks great. They also came with the cooker, fridge and the hood. The pics show the kitchen unfinished but they finished it yesterday. Didn't have time to take a pic yet.

Yesterday we had a disaster in our new flat. The plumbers came to fix the bathroom and when they tried the bath, water came down in the café through the ceiling. A lot of panic!!! They found the leak and fixed it. Now we have to wait because we have a wooden floor and the water came through it in the bathroom, toilet and our bedroom. I really hope they can fix it without removing the floor. We need to move on July 29th. Cross your fingers for us, please.

Hi girls,
My dad, Hilde (his girlfriend) and I went to the Netherlands for a day. At noon we bought some bread and ate a yummie lunch. We love to stop the car at a green place and enjoy the food and good weather.

Summer holidays

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 12:55:43 GMT

the summer holidays finally started. I have 2 months of free time so I hope the weather will be nice and sunny.
The kids in grade 6 organised a little party for their teacher Sophie and I. I gave some math lessons to them this schoolyear. I really love this group of kids and I feel sorry that they leave. They go to high school next year. I made some pics of them.

I did some scrapping too but less than I hoped. The end of the school year is always very busy so I didn't have time to scrap.

I made a LO about the fantastic dinner at the restaurant Marcus. We went there with antoher couple. I told about it in the previous entry.

Thanks for reading my blog and leave a comment if you want. I love to know what you think about it.
