AJC #45 and Christmas card and mail!!!

Yeaaaaah, after being sick for a couple of days, (and her poor girls too!!) Emily is back, so happy, cause I really missed the card last Monday!

This week's prompt is: self realisation. What have you come to discover about yourself lately? Or, think of a time in your life that you had a 'brick over the head' moment, and journal about that.

Ok, it might get a bit boring, but my "brick over the head" moment had to do with moving to Canada or not. I had so much to tell about that, that I decided to make a small envelope and fold the journaling in there. ( and that is NOT me on the picture!! Found it on the www!!)

As it's kind of personal, I kept most of it for myself, might be nice to read it in a couple of years and find out if I still feel the same way!

Another thing, I love to read blogs, and Nancy's blog, a Dutch girl like myself, I love to visit!! She's a very talented scrapper, and she makes wonderful cards too! Like now, she has a workshop on her blog for making a Christmas card. It's been a long time since I've made a Christmas card, but this on..... I loved it!

As you can see Nancy, I've changed some things (not the right material on hand!) but I like the way it turned out, and I'm gonna make some more too!!

Ok, last thing! The doorbel rang, and I know what that means, especially since I saw the mailman walking by..... he had something that didn't fit in my mailbox LOL. Look what I got!!!!!

A couple of weeks ago, Becca had a RAK on her blog and I was one of the lucky girls to receive a bag filled with embroidery floss!! She says she can't wait to see what I'll come up with... well, neither can I, ha ha, have to think about that first!

And the little jar you see, with the very very lovely card, I got from Liesbeth, and I'm so very happy with that jar! What's in it? Well, speculaaskruiden of course!! You American/Australian/English/Canadian girls won't know what it is, but it is the best herb to make real yummy cookies, muffins etc. It's typical Dutch, and I really wouldn't know where to get it here. Liesbeth sent me some recipies for the Dutch treats, which I liked very much, but... as I told her, couldn't make. So she was so nice to send me a jar with the herbs so we can have our Dutch treats! Thanks so much girl!!

TFL and have a great day!
