Another advent calendar

During the weekend in Ski I spent my time decorating one of the advent calendars from Karen Foster. Now - back to work... wish you a great Friday :)

"I light a candle...."

Another homemade advent calendar with candles. This one can be used as a candlestick for advent - with 4 candles for each of the 4 Sundays.

In a couple of hours I'm off to sing with one of my choirs, and I'm pretty sure I have the most sexy voice of us all! The cold and the lack of voice sticks on to me like well chewed gum.... I guess I have to play on my charm instead of my voice... Wish you all a great evening!

And by the way - does anyone know where to by grab bags of old fabrics? Love to have tons of different colors, shapes and patterns :) I know it's possible to find on "loppis"/second hands, but I'm afraid the loppis season is over...?

"Friendship"

I love the size 8x20 cm!
Makes you use a complete new way of thinking when designing.
Wish you all a great day!

One more bottle of wine

Here is one more bottle - decorated with my favourite colors red & pink.

Today I'm sitting home feeling so sorry for myself... I'm sick (I have a cold) and in less than 4 hours I'm supposed to travel off to Brumunddal for the weekend. My ensamble DameEtagen is spending the whole weekend together, recording songs for our new demo - and off course we've also planned lots of laughing, chatting, singing... all the ingreediences you need for creating a great weekend. Sounds great, right?

I know the smartest thing for me to do, is to stay home and relax... with my running nose and lack of voice, the Practical Me tells me to stay. But the Other Me whispers in my ear: "goooo, Åshild, goooo, enjoooooy..." And I'm caught in the middle...

I guess I'll give myselv a deadline: at 13.00 I have to make a decision! Untill then - I'll relax... :)

Wish you all a great weekend!

Vinflaskedekor - A decorated bottle of wine

Annie and I have been teaching classes - making this cute kind of card/ box / wine bottle decoration. This is the one for tonight's class; a Christmas version. The tags are from our newest product - a sheet of cut outs that will be available in our netshop soon.

Ski-treff og storproduksjon...

Last weekend I attended a gathering for cardmakers and scrapbookers, and as usual I created tons of stuff... nope... just kiddin'! I've realized that my mission at these gatherings is to disturbe all the others with my chatting! And, to be honest - I'm soooo good at it! :) I'm actually having trouble beeing creative when I'm all other places than home... But so it is. I love chatting too, so it's no big problem :)

I held two classes during the weekend. The first one was a "Advent calendar" class. I designed a practical version using a candle. Each day you pull out one of the needles and read the quote or the personal greetings that is written on the paper stripe attached to the needle. The candle is glued on a coaster.

Shoppinghjelp - del 2!

Jeg frir til dere igjen, jeg! Jeg trenger nemlig hjelp til å skaffe til veie 6 sånne esker fra Panduro - og jeg trenger dem på Ski-treffet i morra kveld...! (Jepp, alltid tidlig ute as usual.... *flau*) Jeg prøvde å få tak i dem i Tønsberg, uten hell. Er det noen av dere som skal på Ski-treffet og som også skal en tur innom Panduro før dere kommer? Kan du da være så snill å kjøpe 6 esker for meg? Det hadde vært helt superdupert! :)

Kurs på Ski-treffet til helgen

Jeg skal holde kurs på Ski-treffet til helgen, og har lovet å gi litt mer info om kurset. På bildet ovenfor er det noen smakebiter...

Dette er kurs-teaseren:

Det er fortsatt noen plasser ledig på kurset,
så om du vil være med, kan du melde deg på via Minne-Hjørnet.
Jeg skal holde det jeg lovet
- en overraskelse, en utfordring og en sjokolade
- alt på ett kurs :)

Shoppinghjelp!

Jeg er på jakt etter denne esken med nåler, men kan ikke huske hvor jeg kjøpte den.... *stønn* Er det noen av dere som kan hjelpe meg?

"Ti i skuddet" - ny AJ-utfordring

Er du lysten på en AJ-utfordring? Ta en titt i bloggen min: Kreativ dagbok.

I'm an illustrator *lol*

Take a look here!

One of my AJ pages has been used as an illustration for a seminar invitation. That's kind of fun :) And interesting to know that my personal AJ pages not just have to be understood as personal stuff...

Glimps from Nerja

I'm back home from 2 wonderful weeks spent in Nerja, Spain. Weeks filled with great company, good experiences, sun, swimming, sightseeing, great food, good driks... If you want to take a look at the pictures from the trip, please visit my Flickr album - Nerja 2009.
