If you want to see what I have to say in Danish (LOL) you can read my interview on the Scrapsister DK Online Magazine.

Wenn Ihr wollt was sich so auf Dänisch zu sagen haben (LOL), könnt Ihr mein Interview in dem Scrapsister DK Online Magazin lesen.

    Wat für ein schönes Interview … und ICH hab´ alles verstanden … wer in DK wohnt ist klar im Vorteil, gelle?
    Die Scrapsisters sind aber auch wirklich tolle Mädels, die ein geniales Online-Magazin auf die Beine gestellt haben :-)

Layout: Honesty – Dig Deep #1

Vivian Bonder inspires me constantly with her work and her new Challenge called Dig Deep comes at a time where I seek a deeper meaning in my scrapbooking pages yet again. Her first challenge is about Honesty .

Vivian Bonder inspiriert mich immer wieder mit ihrer Arbeit und ihre neue Challenge Dig Deep kommt zur rechten Zeit. Ich strebe gerade danach meinen Scrapbook-Seiten eine tiefere Bedeutung beizufügen – irgendwie ist mir das ein wenig verloren gegangen. Ihre erste Herausforderung handelt von Ehrlichkeit.

*The Art of Spoken Word*

Journaling: Honesty – something I seek. It hurts but actually dishonesty hurts even more. When you hear critique behind your back or find out someone you call a friend is dishonest. Often times you are dishonest yourself – not telling you know the truth – it’s a facade – it hurts even more.

I try to be honest to my friends and they value it – most of the time- although it is hard to be honest. Sometimes I do what hurts me with others – just because I don’t know how to say it.

For me Honesty is the Art of Spoken Word. I try to get better at it.

Supplies: Jillibean Soup Spicy Pumpkin Paper, Ranger Color Wash, Camera Stencils, Ranger Inkssentials Pen, Staples and Copic Markers

    True, very hard to get a honest critic out of a friend because they don’t want to hurt your feelings.

    BUt it is just plain nasty for them to talk behind your back…

    Reminds me of this beautiful Billy Joel song – Honesty

    “Honesty is such a lonely word
    Everyone is so untrue
    Honesty is hardly ever heard
    And mostly what I need from you”

    At least I am honest to you about my dolly haha…
    Love you!

Project 365 – Week 18

Last week wasn’t very exciting – but that is not the purpose of the pictures a day anyway. So I’m sorry you have to go through this- LOL

Letzte Woche war nicht wirklich sehr aufregend- aber darum geht es ja auch nicht bei den Bildern des Tages. Also müsst Ihr da jetzt durch- LOL

*117/365*

Just a random photo in my room. Lot’s of minialbums.

 *118/365*

I was worried that the tree in front of my studio window would be dead but finally it turns green. I love that tree but a lot of people in the house hate it cause it takes away a lot of light.

*119/365*

I know you have seen a lot of Niles-Pictures already- but this one is so hilarious- LOL. He was watching my husband cooking.

*120/365*

We finally got our new lights and had them fixed. Love them and the light in the kitchen is way better now.

*121/365*

Got my issue of Somerset Memories April/May 2009. I have an older layout published in it.

*122/365*

My husband’s jazz band performed – it was fun and I love their spoken words programme. Luise looks too cute with her baby belly on stage!

*123/365*

Lovely flowers I got from Jim. The colors are wonderful and they cheer me up a little. I have a bit of a down day today.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Speaking of Workshops – Workshop in Hamburg in May

In May I will be teaching my “What a Wonderful World” Acrylic Minialbum Workshop at Scrapbook-King on May 16, 2009. There are only limited places !

Am 16. Mai 2009 unterrichte ich noch einmal meine Workshop “What a Wonderful World” – ein Acryl Minialbum Workshop bei den Scrapbook-Kings:

In ihrem Workshop „What a Wonderful World“ – inspiriert durch den Song von Louis Armstrong – wird Nat mit Euch an einem Acryl-Album arbeiten. Jede Menge Prima Material, Farben und Marker werden verwendet, um dem Album Tiefe und Pepp zu verleihen. Nat wird Euch einige Tricks zeigen, mit denen Ihr die Schwierigkeiten ein “durchsichtiges” Album zu gestalten, überwinden könnt.  Erzählt mit diesem Album Eure Geschichte über eine Urlaubsreise, einen Ausflug – oder einfach wie wunderschön Euer Leben wirklich ist. Der Workshop findet bei uns in Tonndorf von 10:00 Uhr bis ca. 13:00 Uhr statt und wird inklusive Material Eur 24,00 pro Person kosten. Anschließend besteht die Möglichkeit – wie immer an unseren Crop Days – bis tief in die Nacht in lustiger Runde nach Herzenslust zu Scrappen. Interessenten, die erst nach dem Workshop (ab ca. 13:00 Uhr) am Crop Day teilnehmen möchten, können wir erst ca. 14 Tage vor dem Termin ihren Platz bestätigen. Plätze sind – wie immer – limitiert, bitte meldet Euch bis zum 30. April 09 telefonisch (040-66904751) oder unter workshops@scrapbook-king.de an. Anmeldungen für den Workshop werden von uns bestätigt. Absagen sind bis zu zwei Wochen vor dem Termin kostenfrei, danach müssen wir leider eine Stornogebühr von Eur 18,00 berechnen. Es ist jederzeit möglich, einen Ersatzteilnehmer zu stellen.
