So you didn’t like the challenge, huh? Either that, or you have no sins (or you didn’t want to share them!) I had no participants for the challenge this time. Boy, am I unpopular, lol. I think it’s a pitty, there was a big prize to win, but I guess there were already so many challenges going on, maybe I just picked the wrong moment. Oh well, you just saved me a few bucks ![:-)]()
I’m still living a very hectic, very stessful life for the moment. Last week I had some after school obligations. We had conference on monday and parent night on thursday. I got home at 6.30 both nights and rushed into the usual evening routine: be a listening ear to DH and DD, cook dinner, dishwashing, bedtimeroutine for DD, a quick look at the lessons I had to give the next day, and then… crashing on the couch, lol. Seriously, I admire people who have an organized life and manage to do like 1000 things on one day. I have always a pile or two of laundry waiting for me and my house never looks clean.
Luckily, I have my wednesday afternoons off, but then I prefer to design over cleaning!
I have been working on the October Collab, which will be released midmonth. And we have an awesome new guest designer who collaborates this month! Go check the store to find out who she is!! I am thrilled to have her with us!
On another note, I think I’m finally ready to have my own car. For those of you who don’t know, I just started my driving lessons this year and for a moment it looked like I was never going to be able to learn it! But I take the family car whenever I can to go practicing on my own (MUCH more relaxing than when DH comes with me!) and last week I took the 17 km drive to my hometown without problems. I just need to practice on parking a little more, and then I think I will be ready to take the exam!
But I already want a car. Badly. Every day, I go to work, get back, do some groceries, pick up DD from school ALL BY BIKE. We are having this ‘terrific’ Belgian weather again and last week I was soaked at least four times by the time I got home. And I’m sick of it!
I have talked to DH about it and he still needs some convincing, but I’m on the lookout for a second hand car!
Let’s talk about storestuff ![:)]()
I have one new item ready for tomorrow. I made a glitter version of the Circle and Dots brushes. I spent alot of time trying to make a realistic glitter style which doesn’t loose its bling once it’s saved as png, and I think it worked out really well. There are 98 circles in it: 14 styles in 7 different colors. And they’re not just recolored, I made every glitter color from scratch! Available here.
I’m offering a 20% coupon on them, just for you, my blogreaders. Let’s see if anyone still reads this blog, lol. Use the code blingbling during checkout. The 20% will also go off every other item you order (of mine), as long as the glitterdots are in your cart. 1 coupon per person, good until the 7th of October. ![:)]()
I have three layouts to show you. They were all made a while ago, I do still scrap!
The first one is a scraplift of Yen’s lo ‘Sisters’. I was in love with the cardboard from the Holiday Kit by Caterine and went right ahead and bought it.

The second one is with Shabby Fall Garden, the collab by Gina Miller and Gina Marie Huff.

And the last one was inspired by one of my Ct members, Mel. I call her the queen of blending, her lo’s are amazing. I wanted to make a page where the photo blends into the background too.
Credits here.
That’s it! Have a great week!
