Thank you 2015 - welcome 2016

There are so many things to be grateful for when I look back on 2015....

• All the adventures concerning my DD´s move to and back from England starting with the exams in Lund in February and traveling to UK in September when I had to drive on the wrong side of the road.
• All the small and wonderful things we´ve done - just grabbing coffee or eating out together.
• Taking long walks with the dog.
• That we got to travel to London again this summer!
• Me and hubby celebrating 25 years together
• The wonderful cousin reunion in August.
• Getting my own craft room.
• Starting running - for real!
• Having my wonderful family and friends - I´m lucky.

So thank you 2015 and I´m so excited to see what awaits in 2016!

Speaking of 2016 I´ve decided to go with One Little Word again and this time it was easy and the word I´ve chosen is:

I think of it as a state of mind. Feeling happy and content, trying to see the best in every situation and not getting stressed out about small things.

So here´s to 2016- Happy Days everyone!

Lots of random stuff!

Hi everyone!
Today I´ll be posting all kind of stuff as a change.

Let´s start with the project "One little word" - or OLW as the common abbreviation for it. The first time I came across this was on Ali Edwards blog and I´ve been doing for some years now. The word for 2013 took it´s time but I finally decided to go with this one:

I guess I just wanna feel the joy in life more often...These last two years have been a struggle - take my word for it.  I´m not sure where this is gonna take me, but I´m all in!

Next I wanna show you a photo of me - yes ME! - and how my look´s changed just over one year:

I´m so happy I decided to let my hair get longer again. I feel so more comfortable in it.

I´ve been up to some serious shopping lately:

• The winter sales has started here in Sweden and I got these from my fav shop Noa Noa:

• I got some new scrapbooking goodies:

...and soon I´ll be getting ALL of these too:

• Some new books are soon arriving to me:

 

• BUT the absolute most FAB thing that I´m getting is this little goodie:

YES - it´s RED and I LOVE IT!!!

I know - that´s one crazy shopping spree right??? Now I´m putting away my wallet for some time...

Last today I´m gonna share something with you and that´s the fact that this New Year I´m gonna make a resolution! I´m gonna start my new healthier life with eating more GI food and start to exercise again.

So if you have any good recipes to share I´d love to know....

If I´m not checking in tomorrow I want to end this post with saying:

Have a safe and wonderful

NEW YEAR!!!!

Lots of love

Carina

OLW stands for One Little Word and was started by Ali Edwards. It´s all about picking a word that you carry with you for a whole year and has a special meaning to you.
OK - last year I picked "FRESH" and when I reflect on it it doesn´t seem like it was anything like it. Hopefully it means in some way that we had to go through all of that stuff to have a fresh year by now...

This years word wasn´t easy but I think I´ll be sticking with "HAPPY". That´s what I want - to be happy, fortunate, blessed, bright. Well, actually I picked a Swedish word - LYCKLIG - but it means all the words I wrote before...To think of it - I´m glad I picked that Swedish word.... <3

Right now I´m trying to get stuff made for Reprint Artstamps that they will show at the Formex 2012 Exhibition in Stockholm. So far I made one layout and two cards...

 Here´s my latest work for the Reprint blog:

The photo on the layout comes from when my dd finished nine-year compulsory school. All the materials used are from Reprint.
