LOOK AT THIS PRETTY BABY!!!!

Today Moniek, the owner of Hobby-scrap-creaSjop, brought me this pretty baby!

I can put 20 different papers in it and it looks so good!

THANK YOU MONIEK FOR BRINGING IT ALL THE WAY!

Delfzijl-Slagharen is quite a trip and it was sooo WARM, today!

Moniek and me drank tea in the yard and it was very nice to meet one another!
At least we both know now how we look!

It was a nice meeting!
I think in future I need more of these!
It comes on very handy!

When you are interested, look at:

www.hobby-scrap-crea.nl

It's worth looking!!!

I have to go and do some scrapping!

ENJOY, Jen.

Little Birdie.....

We quickly "build" little birdie a safe place to stay and rest a little. He or she started drinking right away!

Look, a parrot!

Our little dog Odie found a little parrot in our pond. It was "walking"om some waterplants and was thirsty and hungry.

Peter, my husband took it out of the pond and we gave it some bread and water.

Our neighbour owns birds. This little one had a ring, so we took him to Jan and he will look who is the owner of this birdie!

At least we saved his life thanks to Odie!

Everybody workes so very hard to make these day's lovely for me and I really had wonderful day's with wonderful and very warm memories......

Saying GOODBYE is not easy, but the PARTY's were so full of warm words, cards, letters, flowers, presents, drawings, sweets.....

AMAZING!!! I was not aware of the fact, that my children and my parents love me sooOOOO
MUCH!!!!

Tahnk you, dear TEAM, dear children and dear parents for making MY GOODBYE SO VERY SPECIAL!!!!
I have NO WORDS TO THANK YOU ALL!!!!
It was a complete NEW experience for me and (YES<> I OWE YOU ONE!!!) I enjoyed every minute of it......

I will MISS THEM ALL LIKE CRAZY!!!!!

But.....The school will do fine without me: the TEAM is wonderful and the new principal is simply THE BEST....The parents are awesome and the kids are COOL and also GREAT to WORK with!

Paper Challenge: operation 25> PLAY.....

In 1963 I got my first Barbie from St. Nicks on the fifth of december and since this time.....

I still play with my Barbie's!

They alway's have been my favorites and they will stay that!

I LOVE the vintage Barbie's and I LOVE the fashion from the sixties.....

Too bad my parents did not have the money to buy all the pretty clothes for my Barbie....

Now...It is still wonderful to look them up at Google and the prices are amazing!

A real COLLECTOR'S ITEM!

Elise's Challenge 2008: operation 24> WATER.

No matter WHAT or HOW.....

We all need WATER!

I know water can be a burden when it will be there at once and it will overflow your house, your village and it will take away the people you love......

I know that there's a huge need for clean water in Africa......And in other countrie's on this planet.

I know the polar-ice is melting and this is a threat for polar bears and other pretty animals.......

I know a lot of water and I like to drink our clean tap-water with some icecubes in it......

But.....Were I am really aware of is this: We have to learn our children to be grateful that we have plenty water every day, so let's not WASTE it!

And my prayer is: Please......Let there be plenty for all!

Elise was a little late and Peter took the camera with him to make pic's of Björn, so....

Sorry you all had to wait for this one!

Have a nice weekend!

Jen.

Björn rides Enjoy.

Every Friday night Björn goes to the stable to meet Enjoy and he may ride her back.

Enjoy is a huge horse and she can run very, very fast!
Sometimes it scares me, because Björn will ride with loose hands....And he LOVES it!

What a joy ENJOY is for him!

Isn't it amazing that Björn can ride on a horse??
I mean.....His brain-damage is so huge.....It really makes you think.......and WONDER......

But it is so wonderful to see him having so much FUN.....

I"ll stop the heavy thinking and enjoy Björn and Enjoy together!

Björn discovering.........

Today, the second sunday in june it is again a warm and lovely day.....

While dad and Ingmar went off for a ZOO day in Emmen, Björn, Odie and me stayed home and took it very easy.

Björn discovered how to swing (YES! WITHOUT ANY HELP!!!), landed on his butt in the soft grass(no pain and no regrets.....Nothing happened to Björn) and discovered Odie's little tail and.....that Odie can kiss.......

What a great treasures on only ONE DAY!!!!!

As you can see: the dog is so sweet for Björn and he has a lot of patience with a boy like Björn.

I think I can be proud of all of my boy's!!!!

Have a lovely sunday and enjoy all the things around you that you LOVE so much!

Catch U later, Jen.

Paper Challenge: operation 23> BEFORE & AFTER.

This time I knew again right away what I wanted to have in my Paper Challenge Book!
It is the story before the 25 fth of may 1995 and afterwards....

Before this date our son Björn was a talented little boy!
He could talk like a laywer, he sang songs.....He was bright and intelligent.....

Then a doctor in the hospital made a very, very big mistake and our precious little boy woke up with a huge brain-damage!
He has never called me mom ever since.....

He can't talk anymore......

But his beautiful eyes are telling me everything......

My little darling.....You will be my baby for ever..............................

And we all love you so very much, but sometimes my heart is breaking and my tears are flowing......

The drops on the page I made with Paper Glaze and they are "my tears".......

This was a difficult page to make, but it is okay.......

Hope you will all have a nice week!

Scrappy Jen D.
