So, I finally had some time and energy to scrapbook last night, great feeling! Since we’ve moved things around here at home I’m still unorganized with all my crafty stuff but I managed to find some supplies…

See you later, now I will try to find some more things to scrapbook with..!

So, I know this year didn’t start out exactly as I planned when it comes to my blogging goal.

The pregnancy, the whole family being home and some redecorating at home has kept me away from the computer. But instead, we have done a lot of this:

Today I want to share a post from Decor8. It’s a post about Anette Karlsen’s house in Norway.

I am really longing for some daylight right now and this home would be perfect for me!

Check it out here.

Now, in the beggining of a new year I feel like rearranging and update the look of my blog, to get a fresh start, so look out for some changes in the future (at least I hope so!)

I have installed a widget that customize my blog for mobile viewing, a thing I had never thought of before I got my iPhone. So if you are viewing my blog from a mobile phone, please let me know if you think it looks good or not!

We have made som changes here at home, our home office had to be sacrificed to make room for a new bedroom for our children. Now they have a bedroom and a play room. We’re not done yet, but I will show you some picture as soon as we are done.

The loss of the office made me give up my crafty spot in the living room to make room for our new iMac and also my hubbys things. We will share the space but for now all my things are stored in our bedroom. I am going to have a locker to store my things in but it’s still in the garage waiting for some painting to be done…

Now I have some cleaning to do, bye for now!

I now I have been neglecting you and I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am about that.

Sometimes life outside of the computer takes over and leave none or very little time for other things.

I hope you will forgive me and I promise to make up for it as soon as possible!

(And to my blog readers, I will be updating again soon, please forgive me for being such a bad blogger right now).

My hubby gave me an iPhone for Christmas and I am LOVING it!
But, since I know I will be scratching the display if I don’t protect it in some way, a few nights ago I decided to try to crochet a cozy for it.

I didn’t use a pattern for this one, just crocheted a rectangle with a strap and buttonhole in one end and then sew it together.
Then I added a ribbon just to spice it up a bit.

Now my iPhone is well protected and good looking at the same time!

Here in Sweden we celebrate Christmas in Christmas eve (24th) so to all my friends and family in Sweden:

En riktigt god jul önskar jag er alla!

And to all other visitors from other countries, Merry Christmas to you all!

(my sons decorated the tree and they loved the glitter garlands so much they would have been ok with just using them as decoration….)  :)

Not the best photo but this is our new “baby”. It’s an iMac and we absolutely love it! The boys have had a really good time recording movies and taking pictures with Photobooth.
I’m still trying to get used to the whole Mac thing, I’ve always been a PC girl, but so far I’m pretty impressed with the iMac.

And this is the baby thats due in March next year. Took the pic with Photobooth late at night.

I’m a little busy now before christmas but that’s the way it’s supposed to be, right?

I’m not stressed at all, just trying to get things done in a calm and happy way.

I will try to share more photos with you in the next couple of days but for now you will have to do with this picture of our hallway.

I became very happy today when Amy Noorda from Northridge Media told me she had posted about my advent calendar on the Simply Handmade Blog

Go check it out and don’t forget to look trough the whole blog, there are som really pretty things there!

Now I’m off to bed!

Idag visas min adventskalender på Scrappizbloggen, roligt!

Today my advent calendar is shown on the Scrappiz forum blog!

He is so proud of himself..!

Advent calendar I made for my sons this year.

It’s made with scrapbooking papers, ribbons, brads and other pretty things I could find.

The boys love it and especially the 4 year old, he loves that it can help him counting down to christmas eve (that’s the day we celebrate here in Sweden).

Adventskalender jag har skapat till mina söner.

Den är gjord med scrapbookingpapper, band, brads och andra fina saker jag hittat i mina gömmor.

Ville och Vidar älskar den, särskilt Ville eftersom den verkligen hjälper honom att räkna ned dagarna till julafton.
