From my sickbed have a suggestion for you!!!

Get over quickly to CarolinesCraftz Forum sign up, and look for the Spring Crop … it started today, and already there are some fabulous classes to do!!! 😀

As for me, I feel terrible … Ever since Thursday I’ve had a terrible wheezy cough, my temperature goes up and down [and must say that I RARELY run a temp], right now it’s up again … I had to work, as there was noone to replace me, even this morning … I’m working again on Monday morning for 2 hours. I leave on Tuesday morning for a week on Naxos, and at the moment I can’t even get excited about that, as I feel so crummy!!! Woe is me!!! Boo hoo!

To top it off I don’t even have the energy to scrap!!!

So I hope you are all better and having some creative time for me!!! 😀

European Daylight Savings Time!!!

It’s that time of the year again when we change our watches … we go from 3 am to 4 am tonight, so we loose one hour of sleep … that’s why I’ve decided to curl up early this evening, so tomorrow will be a full free day!!! 😀

Don’t stay up too late you European night owls!!! ;-))

Cool site!!!

I thought that this concert ticket generating site is sooo cool!!! Can you imagine what can be done with it??? So, I challenge you to make one and include it in a project: layout, mini book, card … whatever!!! Link back here so that I can see what you’ve done with it!!! 😀
I escaped any nasty cold, I’m fine, the skies are blue again. I have nothing pressing to do, this evening or tomorrow, so that’s why I’m changed my mood! 😀
Have a good weekend everyone!

Rain, rain and more rain!

Well, in Greece we do everything in excess … It actually hadn’t rained in months … farmers were complaining, environmentalist were ringing warning bells, everyone was wondering WHERE is the rain??? I guess, everyone was out there doing an Indian rain dance, because, all of a sudden, on Thursday morning around 11 pm it started raining!!!! I was already at school, I was suppose to go home for about 3 hours before having to come back … well, I did TRY to go home, but it was just impossible … so I stayed until I finished my afternoon / evening lessons … it was STILL raining, and when I finally did get home … it took over 1hr20min I was wet up until my knees!!!! Can you see me coming down with a cold? I can … Today my body hurts all over, my throat is scratchy and I have NO energy to get off this chair …

To top it off I have 6 hours of teaching ahead of me, and I’m working again tomorrow morning!!!! UGH!!!

Huge Pre-Crop Project Finished!!

On CarolinezCraft’s Forum on Saturday and Sunday March 30 & 31st there will be a Spring Crop. I have bought the pre-crop kit, and have just finished making all that I could with it … it was quite challenging as we could only use the products within, no extra rub-ons or stickers, but I could use my paints, and quickutz with the papers enclosed … so this is what I came up with:

First the box! Here are some more detailed photos of it …

Then, I made a little brag book for my purse … it’s actually a Maze Book! … I followed the instructions from here and it was so easy to do!!!

…inside you can find photos of my nieces … and godson!

A layout about friendship! The cardstock is ready printed with various words about friendship so I had no need for a title.

.. a little purse birthday card … not saying who it’s for! 🙂 His was done with the instructions from Fairies-with-tude! They are so easy to make!

and finally, another layout of my godson Christian … isn’t he gorgeous here … the cardstock has sayings about sunshine, laughter and fun going around!!! 😀


I also have another paperbag mini book in the making … so I may surprise you with another post tomorrow!! 😀

The Design Collective

A great new place to hang out! A new forum, full of inspirations and classes … it goes by monthly subscription of 10 pounds … I’ve signed up for the first month … having no access to live classes or crops thought this would be very inspiring … You can check out their blog or their forum. It’s free until to 31st of March to chat and look around …!

A little better!

Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own house… let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness.
— Mother Teresa
I’ve always admired Mother Teresa … to be so giving of oneself, wow! Well, I’m an advocate of the spread love and happiness theory … I’m a very calm person by nature, forever trying to understand others … I think I’m a good communicator … and that shows with my students I think … kindness should be at our side at all times … a smile goes a LONG way!!! 😀
