A Little Easter Walk

With a friend of mine, we’d decided to go for a little hunt of spring blossoms. The problem was: it’s been so cold recently that only very few trees are in bloom yet. That, however, didn’t hinder us in our determination, and so we got a couple of pictures still.   And on that note I’m wishing everyone happy Easter!              

Freebie Friday: A Tender Love, Part 5

Well, since it’s the holidays in most parts of the world, I decided to take yesterday off, and make it a Freebie Saturday instead. Today, I’m sharing with you the last part of A Tender Love, which means you’ll finally get to play with this entire kit. Also, if you’d like to get the pink-green wood butterfly (left on the preview) as a bonus, you can earn it within the next month by showing me a page that you scrapped using this kit (simple link to your layout in the comments will suffice), and I’ll email you the bonus asset. (This offer is only valid for one month, so don’t miss out on it!) And since it’s Easter (almost), and since this is the last part of this current kit, I’m excited to share with you a preview of the freebie I’ve got coming up next: I had loads of fun creating it, and if you like what you see, come back to collect the parts over next couple of weeks, and make sure to …

The Lost Case of the Banana

Admitted. I used to like bananas a lot more when I was a kid than I do now. But every once in a while, I do snatch one from the fruit pile in the dining hall to take with me. I usually don’t eat my banana right away, because I prefer to eat them when they’re sweet. Or I prefer to mix them up in a smoothy. Or make banana muffins and the likes. You get the point. For me, bananas have to be speckled and spotted – in other words, they have to be very ripe. Since they usually don’t come that way when they’re served in the dining hall, whenever I take a banana (which isn’t very often to begin with), I’ll keep it for a couple of days before I decide what I’ll do with it. And so, last week, I took a banana for that very purpose to wait until it’s very ripe so I can make myself something yummy with it. The problem: I never got to keep it until …

Getting Ready for the Holidays

Easter is coming up – a fact which you know, of course. For me, Easter is one of those holidays that I have to look up in the calendar in order to know that it’s coming up. This holiday just doesn’t get much noticed otherwise where I live. In fact, no one here would know that half the world is celebrating a holiday, unless you told them so, because business here goes on as usual. I for my part, however, intend to be aware of this holiday, this weekend. So, I’ve started preparing. Preparing, that means, I started thinking ahead about what are things that are everyday work related that I don’t really need to do this weekend. And while that kept me really busy today, I feel like, for the first time in years, I’ve been somewhat on top of things and can actually enjoy an Easter holidays without making it a normal work weekend like everyone else around here. So, on that note, I hope everyone will have an enjoyable weekend as well!
