A couple of days ago I received a message from Netty, asking my permission to use one of my blank color charts in a video. She said she would credit me and share a link to my website in return. It is so nice to see that there are genuinely nice people out there, that appreciate my work and politely ...

Menopausal Mood Swing Women my age (ouch, doesn’t that sound like I’m an old tart? I’m only 50! 😅) most likely will know what a mood swing is… It’s part of that phenomenon that’s called ‘Menopause’. Unlike many other women, I don’t have the hot flashes (hope I’m not jinxing it now… 😛 ). Occasionally I do have night sweats, ...

As promised in the last blog, here’s a(n) (artificially) colorful post. Better late than never, right? 😛 Last month, May 10th, we went out for a pizza in our favorite restaurant of Fuengirola (Costa del Sol, Spain). [If you ever happen to visit Fuengirola, you really, absolutely must visit ‘Casa de la Pizza’ on the Paseo Marítimo, near the Stella ...

So, it took me more than a couple of days, but here it finally is. The project I’ve posted about a little while ago. I’ve been making something really special out of an old certificate and I’m so very proud of the outcome! What is it? And why is it so special? Well, let me give you a little background ...

You win some… On Monday December 10th I watched a Facebook live video. Every Monday morning Martine from Kippers Hobby goes live and shows ideas to make cards, journal pages and lovely crafting projects. And on that particular day I watched and shared the ‘Meekijken met Martine’ video publicly to my time line. Another thing is that every Monday there ...

As you probably know, I’ve got quite a few color charts in my webshop. And they’re all free for you to download and use. The last couple of days I’ve been working really hard to add all the color charts that were already on my Dutch website, but weren’t here on the English one. Simplifying Previously I wrote all my ...

If you’ve read my latest blog carefully, you might have noticed that I talked about the FIVE drawings that I’ve made for the Costa Women Make It Happen 2019 Planner. But I’ve only shown FOUR! While writing that blog I was in a certain flow that I didn’t want to disturb. And telling about that last drawing just didn’t fit ...

Months ago I was asked by a lady called Ali Meehan if I would be willing to make some artwork for the 2019 planner she was planning. Ali is the founder of a community called ‘Costa Women’, for women living in Spain (or dreaming of/hoping for a life in Spain). There are women from 64 different countries connected with each ...

Earlier this week I’ve shared my unboxing video with you, with my new craft supplies. Today I’ll show you my first layout, made with several items of the Studio Light Denim Saturdays collection. Wow, this collection is really C-O-O-L… in capitals! I started with an uncommon background, since I’ve used the back card of one of the background stamps haha. ...

Yesterday there was a parcel in the mail with new craft supplies. I had placed an order in the Netherlands, with one of my favorite hobby shops: Hobbycompleet de Duif. Since I knew there would be a lot in the box that might be interesting for you to see, I decided to make an unboxing video. New Studio Light craft ...
