I'm closing my store at SO...

... the desission is finally made. My sales there has been really bad the last 3 months, so I desided to close it up there and only be awailable at SSS and my blinkies and banners blog. It's sad but I think it's the best thing to do right now.

What else is there to tell? Well, I'm compeeting in the Last Scrapper Standing competition at Divine Digital, and so far I have made it thru 3 rounds... round 4 is due tomorrow, and the competition is hard! I'm also selling templates and some kits as Kate Designs at My Life And Scrap and at SSS. It's fun, but a bit time consuming...

Looking good again :)

The healing of his nose and bruises has gone by pretty fast, but we can still see it.



His nose has a bunp on it, and it will probably stay there until we deside to do something about it.


And now if he get's a scratch on his knee or something - he says he got it when he fell in the lightbox... lol... he's so cute and acting very serious when he tells it.

I'm a pretty bad blogger these days - beeing very buzy at work, new kids, parents, and new students too. Very interesting - but time consuming. I'll be back stronger when it all settels in.

A broken nose... maybe...

Edvard had a bad accident on saturday, the stroller he klimbed into started to move and overturned into the light box sorrunding the basement window. He hit his nose on the edge of the light box and it started bleeding from a hole in the nose, and it started to swell instant... We rushed to ER, but they could't do anything else than look at it and give us a doctors appiontment for today. So this morning we went to the ear, nose and throat specialist at the hospital, and they where very pleased with the healing of the nose but also a little concerned about the swelling and congestion on the side of the nose/ under the right eye. So we got a new appontment on friday morning, he has to meet without eating, and then they will decide if they're going to do anything about it. I hope the swelling has gone down and that they won't have to do anything.
Anyway - here's some photos of my poor little guy:

The challenge I'm hosting at MLAS

I told you about it yesterday, and it can be found here :)

Some new blinkies and other ramblings....

I have done some new blinkies lately, and here they are:

for EloDesigns:


for Amanda:


and I helped Mye with the animation on her new blog blinkie:


for Lena:


I've been working on some designing to. You all know I love to create templates, so I am creating templates, and selling at MLAS and SSS, as Kate Designs! Lately I have been working on a kitt to... a kinda retro one :) Sneak peaks will be given out later....

And a new year has just started in daycare/preeschool, with lots of new children and parents to get to know... I feel like I have a tonn of stuff to do all the time, and I'm not getting a lot of sleep... not because I work at night, no because Edvard keeps waiking up at one keeping us awake till three sometimes... I'm really, really tired of that now, and I seriously hope he'll sleep all night tonight. Anyway - I'll be back with more news later ;)

oh, and I almost forgot, I'm hosting the template challenge at mlas, and you can find a new template there tomorrow lookiong like this:

and one more thing, if you partisipate in the speedscrap at MLAS tomorrow, the give away price is done by me :)

I promised you some photos...

...of my poor little man... he's really doing great considering he's got chickenpox. He slept well all night, and we have been outside playing all day. He was tired of the day and got in to bed at five thirty, then he woke up at seven fifteen, took a cooling bath, ate some and went to bed again eight thirty... I gave him something to make the rash a bit better, and so far it works. I managed to scrap a page when he was sleeping the first time :)

**edit thursday: right after I wrote this, we heard a scream and he had puked all over his bed... it was so bad, that even I got sick... not good at all... today he's been sleeping almost all day, high feever and not eating anything :(

So we finally got it...

...the svine flu?? No, not yet.... Edvard got chicken pox.
We have been waiting for him to get it since my niece had it when we met them during the holidays. Edvard and Maja first met sunday 7/19, and his first pockmark appeared today.
We didn't think he'd caught it cause we didn't know that the incubation period is 10 to 21 days, witch is fairly long... I thought it only was like 7 to 14 days! Well, I'm kinda glad he got it now, and not later on. His elder brothers had it when they was in school, and that was not a wery fun experience... especially not for the 4.th grader beeing keen on a cute girl - lol :D

Anyway, that leaves the rest of us with svineflu... witch I think is not as dangerous as the media wants it to be, more people die from a regular flu, so... with me working in a daycare senter, and the kids at school and daycare, my guess is that we will get it in some form, more or less. I'm kinda hoping less...
What's next then?? I'm gonna take some photos of him with white dots all over... and maybe I get some scrapping done :) See ya!

My baby is really getting big... and a couple of new blinkies

...cause over the summer he's quit his diapers, and is now going to the toilet by himself!! He's ever dry at night! I'm so relieved... this is really great news for us.

I have done 2 new blinkies for SO:



and a banner for their july collab:



currently I'm working on 4 more blinkies... so, off to work :)

gaaa... I totally forgot...

...that I promised you photos of Edvards bithday party...



Here are some - using a clusteframe by Kate Designs that soon will hit the shops at SSS and MLAS.

Today is the day...

...my little baby turns 3... man, he's not a baby anymore... lol :)
we started the day with presents in bed, he got a lot of Lightning mc queen stuf, cause he just loves Cars (the movie)... he was so pleased, and went to his room to find his birthday crown from last year so he could wear it :) and he demanded us to sing happy birthday songs... lol :) he was so sweet!

This afternoon 8 other little 3 yearolds and their parents are coming over to celebrate, and I've been making cupcakes, strawberry cake, a big plate with lots of different fruit like pineapple, strawberry, melon and strawberry gel... we are going to have a barbeque first, then they will get the cakes and fruit and maybe an ice cream stick... Hopefully the weather will keep nice like it's right now!

Will be back later with photos! (and hopefully I'll be able to scrap some too...)
