Sneak Peak

Here's a sneak peak of the birth card I'm making for my sister and brother-in-law. I need to make two versions because they don't want to know beforehand if it's a boy or a girl. I send them the first card this morning and they really liked it :D!

This week I saw..

a lot of failed photos..

I was very excited to take my first steps in analogue photography again, ordered a polaroid film from the the-impossible-project (and polaroid films don't come cheap!) and developped my film. But.. the photos didn't turn out okay as you can see.. (polaroids are not developped well and the film has a black piece on the left side). Can somebody please help me out here?

Ps. Did love the warm feel of the analogue again though!

Note to Myself

Organic

I love this organic patterned dress I got for christmas!

(for more organic inspiration start here & here !)

Proud

You know how the right compliments can make you feel a lot more energized? Well I do. And I figured it's the same thing with what you say to yourself. In stead of telling myself all the things I didn't do, I try to to pat myself on the shoulder and say: hey, you're doing good.

p.s. I'm very busy at the moment, I'm looking forward to do my daily blogtour again! 'See' you soon! :)

This week I saw...

.. Funny Ladies/ The New Yorker's greatest women cartoonists and their cartoons, with discount! I love the combination of the old portraits of creative women and their drawings.

I just randomly picked two, but it's full of prettiness.

Staying On Track

On new years afternoon I sat down with some coffee, books and the newspaper of that day and to think about the coming year and decide what my year theme should be. I found my main question was: How to keep that inner fire burning? In the last couple of years I really discovered what's important to me, what I want to spend my time on and what not. But somehow I find I'm easily distracted, mostly by what I think people expect from me or just by everyday life. My theme for 2011 is staying on track (on track = staying true to what I think is important). I think the best (and most fun:) way to this, is reading about subjects that really matter to me. Why not start right now? Tonight I ordered the first book of my list: The art of non-confirmity.

Happy Brand New Year!

A brand new year! Don't you love the sound of that? Like a blank canvas.

I didn't want to let this day pass by without wishing you all a very happy & inspiring 2011, that it may rain blessings for you!
