Freebie Friday: Summer Morning – Part 5

It’s that time again, when I’m excited to share with you the last part of my freebie kit “Summer Morning.” As usually, today you’ll receive the second part of the embellishments.   As always, my Terms of Use apply, meaning you’re only allowed to scrap personal use projects with this kit. And now, I’m super excited to show you what’s up next in line:   “Find Joy” is the kit that I’ll begin sharing with you next, so make sure you stop by again to start collecting the parts. By the way, do you like what you’re getting here? Well, I’m sure others would, too. So, why don’t you go tell others on twitter, Facebook, your blog, pinterest and send people this way for them to enjoy these freebies as well? (Older freebie kits are also still available for download.) At any rate, now that you’ve finished collecting all the parts for “Summer Morning,” it’s time to get you scrapping with this freebie. Don’t forget to leave a link to your finished projects in the comments. …

Hope on the Horizon

Something exciting happened today. Well, something like this isn’t usually exciting. Actually usually it’s rather boring. But if you’ve seen my recent post “Some Dreadful News” you know that having to go get our visas processed is some really exciting news, because there’s hope that I might actually be able to travel home this summer as planned. That is, if I can get my passport (including residence permit) back on time. But today we got to take the first step at least, and with that, at least one part of this huge hurdle has been taken. And now, another wait begins …   By the way, you must forgive the bad quality of this photo. I wasn’t going to draw the attention of any of the guards when trying to take this pic (you don’t want to get into trouble with that department when you depend on them getting you your passport back on time). So, I tried to be as sneaky about it as I could, hence a really quick snapshot!

And Now My Bathroom Floor Has a Leak and a Hole

So, the next day has come, and guess who was right! Short recap: yesterday two workers came. They came with the intention to “fix” my bathroom floor leak (though I have a feeling that they just wanted to do something so they could say they did something). Well, and to be truthful, they did something. They made a hole in my bathroom floor, promising me that whatever they poured into the hole would dry the puddle and the leak. By today. But today has come. And as I promised them in return: the water’s still there. Plus a leak. Plus a hole in my bathroom floor. And knowing how long it took for them to do at least something, I guess I’d better get used to my bathroom floor being “holesome.”
