New picture frames

The other day myself and F went to Ikea and bought some picture frames as I had a plan to do some scrapbooking over the weekend. I used two photos, one of me and one of F and they are both in black and white. Then I opened a scrapbooking kit from Molly's scrapbooking and used the papers and the material from that kit. Yesterday I was finished with the first layout and today I finished the second one. Both layouts are framed now and we're planning to hang them up on the wall. What do you think!?

Beautiful butterfly

On Christmas Day myself and F went out to Täby Kyrkby to celebrate Christmas with my parents. We had a lovely day together and enjoyed ourselves throughout the day. We had some traditional Christmas food for lunch and later on we had venison and that was absolutely gorgeous. After dinner it was time to open all the Christmas presents, all of us must have been really nice this year because there was a big pile of them under the Christmas tree.

When I opened the Christmas present from my darling I got really excited when I saw the Thomas Sabo bag ;) He had bought me a beautiful butterfly necklace and I'm so happy about it. He knows that I love butterflies and I love it even more since I know it's from him ♥

Christmas Card

I made a Christmas card for F's mam that I gave her yesterday when we arrived. I used one of the kits from Molly's scrapbooking and embossed Santa Claus and the notes using embossing powder and a heat gun.


Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve this year was spent in Vällingby with F and his family. We didn't eat the traditional Christmas food, instead we enjoyed a delicious Korean dinner. It was as good as I remember it :) We went there in the afternoon and started off by watching Donald Duck and his friends on TV while having mulled wine and some gingerbread cookies. After that we prepared the food and then we sat down for dinner. I had a lovely time and laughed a lot, F's family is as mad as my one ;)

Christmas glitter

I bought a new nail polish last week that I'm planning on wearing both for Christmas and New Years. I'm not normally mad about glitter, but this OPI one has a lovely glow that I really like. Today myself and F have been out shopping, both in Solna Centrum and in Ikea. There were quite a lot of people in Solna Centrum but Ikea wasn't bad at all. Tonight my brother came over and I made a chicken stew that we all had for dinner before we sat down to watch the film Contagion. I didn't really like it, especially not the ending.


Tomorrow it's Christmas Eve, I can't believe it because I still haven't got that Christmas feeling this year. But I'm looking forward to heading over to F's mam and having some Korean food ;) I have to wrap the presents in the morning before we head off as I haven't got around to that yet. Now it's time to get some sleep I reckon, Merry Christmas everyone!

Post it note

Last week when I had been out for our Christmas party with work and I came home, I found a lovely little post it note on the mirror in the bathroom :) Little things like that makes me smile!


Tonight I'm taking it easy, Petra made me go to the bodypump class at lunch today even though I was still sore from the bodypump class on Friday. I added some weights today as well so my legs are hurting now. My darling is doing the laundry (again!), but I cooked us dinner so it's only fair ;)

Went to Solna Centrum after work to get another Christmas present, I have to go and buy a couple more tomorrow but after that I'm pretty much done. I'm looking forward to Christmas now. We're not gonna have much traditional Christmas food this year and I can't say I'm too sad about it since I'm not mad about all that food. Christmas Eve I'm gonna spend with F and his family and Christmas Day we're gonna spend at my parents' house. Christmas Eve we're having Korean food (yum) and on Christmas Day we're having venison (double yum)!

What's for dinner

Thank God this day has come to an end, I was so tired when I woke up this morning and I didn't exactly wake up feeling fresh.. We had our Christmas party with work last night and it was a very enjoyable evening in a place called Marion's. We were divided into different teams (32 to be exact!) and got to play bowling and take part in a quiz. After that dinner was served, not traditional Christmas food, but burgers! I had a lovely night and even though I didn't get home too late I still didn't get enough sleep so I'm looking forward to hitting the pillow soon enough ;)

Tonight we didn't wanna cook so we ate the leftovers from the other night, a stew with ginger bread spices. We're getting home deliveries from a company called Gomiddag and we've been really happy with the recipes and the food so far, but this wasn't my favourite. Oh well, I suppose you cannot like everything!

Sjung nu Christmas Concert 2011



On Monday we had our Christmas concert with the Sjung Nu choir. I had a really bad cold unfortunately and was worried if my throat was going to be ok. But as always, it was so much fun and I didn't care about my sore throat. My parents, F, Maria and her mam came to see us. Thanks guys, I really appreciate having some family and friends in the audience!

Parlo italiano


Tonight Maria and I had our second last Italian lesson, it's slowly coming to an end and we've decided not to continue with it next semester. Not because we don't enjoy it, but purely because we've had too much on lately and I for sure just want to have more spare time next semester. Having a full-time job with its challenges is enough ;)

Tonight our teacher forced us to talk in pairs and he came up with the lines that we had to say in Italian. We haven't done much of that up until now and it's quite difficult as you really have to think through what you're going to say. I think we all did pretty well after all, I mean there is a lot of grammar to take into consideration.

Hopefully I'll have the energy to work through the rest of the chapters (9 of them I think) in the book whenever I have the time. It'd be great to keep it up so that I can practice my lines the next time I go to Italy :)

Tonight I'm gonna have an early night. My darling is in Växjö and I have a bad cold and need to catch up on my sleep. Tomorrow night I'm going out for dinner with the customer service leadership team. I wonder where our boss is taking us!

The look of love

I've fallen in love with a necklace by Efva Attling called The look of love. Efva says that she thought of an eye that looks lovingly at someone or something you love. It's a limited edition and costs 2900 SEK. I want it so bad!
