Aruba - for business!

Hi!!

I thought I just let you all know that I will be in Aruba from tomorrow!! Yes, you heard it right, me on the happy island! I am so glad I got the opportunity to go on a business trip there! First of all because I will enjoy meeting the people there but second because I will see my friend Petrina again. The first few days I will be staying with Petrina and Eric at Sero Biento (if you ever need a great affordable place to stay). I will do some work from there and then after the weekend I will move to a hotel and travel to Curacao for other business meetings as well. I have travelled to the Carribbean before but never to the Dutch Antilles so I am really looking forward to it.

I will be back on Nov. 8 but when I have access to the internet I will try to do a small report!

Have a great week!

Photo excursion today!

 

Petra and I did a Fall Photo Excursion today!

The excursion was organized by a nature photographer Fer Boei

A group of 15 walked through the forest of Doorn (Kaapse Duinen) to see mushrooms and make photos! The weather was a bit rainy (most of it in the afternoon).

I am sure Petra will blog some to on her own blog… I have many more but won’t post them all :)…. at least not before I have edited them with lightroom!!

From Fall weather to summer at the end of the week… I have to go on a business trip to Aruba and Curacao so I probably won’t be around for a while… I will be back on Nov 8th!!

Almost there and new layouts!

Yeppers… only 2 more nights! We are going to leave by car on Sunday morning REALLY early to make the most of the day.

Disneyland Paris here we come! We are staying at the Hotel Cheyenne for 3 nights:

 

 

I will be writing a travelblog although I don’t know if I will be able to post it when we are in France, there is no wifi at the hotel :(.. who know we are lucky enough to pick up a signal anyway!

Ok then I also did some layouts this week, here they are! All images are clickable for credits and some love :)

 

So this is all for this week, next week I will be back with an (hopefully) exciting trip report for anyone who is interested!!

Have a good weekend!

Layout time

Hi,

Ok, time to showcase some of my own layouts from last week... I did a couple and one is still not finished (I think it's too empty but then again I like it...still unsure if it's finished or not... if you understand what I mean)... But here are the ones I did finish, first I did a Halloween LO with the new kit by Dawn Inskip, did you read the news about her on DST?

Well this is her latest kit (you can buy it at NDISB for example):

And here's the layout:

Then I did one with her Friend's Expressions


And finally I did one for myself but with a lot of stuff by Melissa Bennett in it, I am on her CT and have so many items in my EHD that I mixed and matched:

Not a lot more news today... the week was pretty 'normal' as expected. The weather could have been better but it's Fall and the weather is like that, a lot of rain and a bit colder...we turned on the central heating for the first time yesterday!

Tomorrow I am going to try to sell some of the clothes and toys the kids have grown out of. I have hired on of the tables at a small market at the community center here, it's just for 2 hours and it's just for 2nd hand children's clothes and toys...so great for me. Later in the afternoon we will take the boys to their grandparent's house...they will stay the night there so mom and dad can go shopping on Sunday...spend the money we earned the day before, lol!

That's all for now...only 9 days until Disneyland Paris!
