Busy Bee

No time to scrap this week. I am just too busy with work, the household, preparing for the weekend, and so on. Right now I am busy selecting and scanning pictures for the Scrap-a-Licious workshops on Sunday. I so look forward to the workshops taught by Corinne Delis and Celine Navarro, and to meet Danielle and many other blog girls IRL. I will go to Utrecht with my scrap friend Hanneke. She will already come to my place on Saturday afternoon. She lives an hour and a half away from Utrecht, so I offered her a place to stay. Eric will leave for the USA early on Saturday morning - he will be on a business trip to Dallas, TX - and the girls will stay with my parents on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Here is one of the pictures I selected for the workshop Vintage meets freestyle. Do you recognize this little girl with the chubby cheeks? Yep....it's me! No curls at that age. :D



The girls had their picture taken at school on February 19th. Just like last year I am not pleased with the result. I don't like the colors, and again the picture is not sharp. I think my own amateur photographer can do a better job. LOL! I had a different hairdo in mind for Sanne - I so love her curls - but she had something else in mind. She insisted on having two little piggy tails. I was in a hurry, already late for work, but....she REALLY wanted to have piggy tails. Do you know that 5-year olds can be really stubborn and persistent? So I quickly did her hair, and it shows, doesn't it? The individual pictures will be taken in April.



Hanneke tagged me earlier this week. You may already know that I don't like all these tag games. However, I did decide to do this one so you get to know me a little bit better. BUT....this is really my LAST tag game. Sorry!
