Some photos of the flea market

I went to the flea market yesterday and only made 41 Euro with selling my stuff and another 14 Euro with selling sponsor items for Doc Dolphin Fund. But I had fun and it was great to be there! When I came back home I left all the boxes in my hallway and put my exhausted body to rest on the couch.

Today wasn't the best day of my life. I felt (actually still feel) every muscle in my body, but especially the ones in my lower back. I also still felt very tired so in the afternoon I went to bed just to lay down for a while, but I fell asleep and woke up at 6 p.m.! I suppose I needed it!

Here are some of the photos I took yesterday! On the first photo you can see all my stuff.

Busy, busy ...

... preparing for the flea market tomorrow!

I had to take all the boxes and sacks down from the attick, with stuff I want to get rid off.

There's a flea market in our village tomorrow, and me and my walking-friend Suzanne, have reserved a spot. We have to be there at 8.00 a.m.! The actual flea market is from 9.00 a.m. untill 3.00 p.m.!

I hope we sell most of our stuff, because the money I'll earn is for the dolphintherapy for my son. I also want to sell some dolphins that I made myself (see daily something) and some other stuff (bracelets, t-shirts, cards) from Doc Dolphin Fund.

I won Birgit's challenge!!!!

I'm so happy! This is the first time ever that I won something with a scrapchallenge. It's so cool!

Ofcourse I had to make my daily something about this subject. This is really something to be remembered!

I bought something yummie to celebrate my winning with my son. He doesn't care much about me scrapbooking, even thinks it's ridicilous, but he likes 'puddingbroodjes', so that is what I bought for us.

I also found out that the head-ache that I had yesterday (and still a bit today) is because of my monthly period that started yesterday afternoon. This is new to me. I always had terrible cramps but never head-aches. I suppose it's because of my changing hormones because of the menopause (?).

Check out the new Scrap (Dutch magazine), there are some stunning layouts by Corinne Delis and Celine Navarro! I'm sure going to try the gesso technique of Celine!

Daily something.

Every wednesday afternoon my son has to deliver a local newspaper and folders. So today my dining-table looked like this!

Have a splitting headache and feel tired and not in the mood to blog.

Smile!!

This morning I had an appointment with my dentist to get my upper teeth done. The ones in the front! When I was a kid of maybe 6 years old my dad abruptly had to stop with the rental car he and I had just picked up from a garage. Because it was just a short ride he allowed me to sit in the front. Not such a good idea, because at that time (1963) there weren't any seat-belts yet, so I fell with my mouth on the dashboard and a little piece of my front tooth broke off. Because it was just a little piece I didn't bother to get it fixed.

But lately, ever since I did Corinne's online workshop Finding You, I didn't feel comfortable with my front teeth anymore.

I love what my dentist did with my teeth. He not only fixed the broken tooth but he also changed the old fillings between my front teeth.

Can you see the difference?

Before and after!

Today I finally sorted out all the papers in my 2 baskets filled with mail, bills, brochures, insurancepapers, printouts, etc. It took me almost 2 hours, but after I finished, I could fill only one basket. I threw away a lot of paper. I wonder why I always want to keep everything? Made my daily something about cleaning up my baskets.

I also went to the vet because Kuifje had another funny looking egg that looked like a windegg, but very small and brown. The vet (never had her before) told me that she probably has an inflammation at the ovary and she gave me some antibiotics. When I got home I gave her the antibiotics right away. When I picked her up I saw this lumb on her chest. It looked and felt the same as what the other chicken had before they died! So I'm afraid I'm going to loose this chick too! That would be very sad. She's so funny!

The name of the antibiotic is different from the one the other chicken got, so maybe this one works better! I hope so!

Intruder in the kitchen.

I made my daily something about my chicken yet again. Today she almost walked into the livingroom, she was already on the threshold when I came into the room.

I used a transparant overlay of My Mind's Eye, called Tres Bien "Summer" Frame. The large letterstickers are from Making Memories.

I'm still feeling tired and I have a lot of pain in my lower back. I went to bed in the afternoon to rest and made another crochet flower. I have made 8 thusfar.

Hope I'll feel better tomorrow.

Daily something september 1st

These are 2 daily somethings that I made about the Flower Corso!

One is a collage made with the ArcSoft Collage Creator and the other one are just 2 photos and some letterstickers. I felt too tired to make something more creative!

Flower Corso Eelde 2007

Yesterday afternoon I went to see the Flower Corso in Eelde, a village nearby. It's the biggest event for the villagers every year since 1956 (one year before I was born). They work for months on the parade-carriages and there are a lot of volunteers needed that can make this happen. Imagine all the flowers that they have to stick on the figures on the parade-carriages with needles, on the last day before the parade! Some people had to work through all night!

The theme this year was: World-famous. I have seen some very pretty carriages!

I took a lot of photos but I wasn't in a really good spot. There were so many people that it was hard to find a spot where I could take better photos.

I can't tell you which carriage won, because I left after they made the first tour around the village. Because of the fibro I can't stand for a long period of time. Even this one hour was too much for my muscles. I'm feeling very tired right now. But it was nice that I saw this parade. I hadn't been there for years!
