Different weekend

This weekend will soon come to an end and it feels like it hasn't even started. I think it's because of the lack of my darling. On Friday after work I went to a bodypump class before I headed home. I was really tired afterwards so I just made some dinner and headed for the couch where I watched The voice on telly. Yesterday morning I woke up at around 9 o'clock but stayed in bed for another hour. After that I made some breakfast and cleaned up in the apartment. My baby came home from Åre in the afternoon so I went to pick him up at his workplace. Later on last night we drove over to the Hellman's family in Vallentuna where we got to play with Benjamin and Elias again. Elias is getting bigger and stronger now and he's such a cutie. When we first came in he started crying when he saw me (I think it was the glasses) but after that we made a great connection :) Lisa & Kim had cooked lamb and it was very nice. They also served creme brulee for dessert, that's one of my favourites. We had a lovely time as always with a lot of laughter before it was time for us to head home again!

This morning myself and F got up at around 7:30 as he was meeting his colleagues at Arlanda around 9 (he's off to London this time). I gave him a lift out and had high hopes for the day but I was really tired afterwards so I've mostly watched TV today actually. I feel like doing some scrapbooking but I'll probably do that during the week instead. Below you can see a layout I created when myself and Emmeli were down in Enköping at a scrapbooking event last September. I used the material from the kit I received when I got down there and the photos are from last spring when F and I tried out the roller blades :)

Catch of the day

Right now I'm lying on the couch exhausted from the 10 km run I did on the threadmill after work. I've just watched Sofias Änglar on TV and ended up crying, the things that some people and families have to go through is unbelievable. Had a great day today in work, I'm feeling energized and I'm quite excited about the year ahead.

I thought I'd show you a layout that I did when I was down in Enköping in September for a scrapbooking event. I love the photos that I used in this layout and I'm happy with the format of the layout, the colours and the material that I used. The photos are from Sicily last July when F and I ordered lobster, prawns and fresh fish for dinner. The head chef let us pick and point on what we wanted :) We had such a good time in Sicily, I'm longing for the heat and the sun right now. Luckily it's now less than 7 weeks until we're going to the Maldives!

Sea life

Another layout that I created last weekend was for the Svensk Scrapbooking challenge. I used some photos from when we're out with the boat this summer. The material is from Molly's scrapbooking kit for November. I hope I'll find some more time for scrapbooking soon because I really enjoyed spending time on it last weekend!

Mollys November Challenge

This weekend I've spent a few hours on scrapbooking and I've really enjoyed it. I went to pick up the latest kit from Mollys scrapbooking on Friday and when I opened to see what it entailed I just couldn't wait to get going. I decided to take on the challenge for November and the theme is journalling. I did a layout with a photo from when I surprised F in June this year with dinner in town. It was a lovely summer's night and we stayed the night in Hotel Anglais, had champagne and really enjoyed each other's company. It was a night to remember!

Layout with photo from Vemdalen

Finally I took the time for some scrapbooking, it has been weeks since the last time and I've really missed it. I had material left from Molly's Scrapbooking kit for January so decided to use that and a photo from Vemdalen. We were there last year with work and on Thursday next week it's time for another ski trip with my lovely colleagues, this time we're heading to Duved/Åre and I'm really looking forward to it :)

I had ordered a mist spray in a dark turquoise colour, also from Molly's scrapbooking, so I decided to spray some of that on a white cardstock. The photo in this layout was taken when it was time for the yearly ski competition and we're all ready to go ;) I've added some things (like the white flowers, the grey scrapbooking paper and the pink, glittery fonts) on this layout from my own supplies but most of it is from the January kit. I got inspired by one of the layouts that my friend Emmeli has created and for the first time I decided to use my sewing machine as well.

Hopefully I'll have time to do some birthday cards today as well, there are a lot of birthdays coming up ;) Soon it's time for lunch and then I'm heading to the gym for a run. Haven't been there since Wednesday so I'm dying for a work out. I woke up with a sore throat on Thursday morning and decided not to risk anything, therefore I skipped the spinning class on Friday :( I think it was a good decision because now I'm feeling fine again and never got sick.

Last night myself, my brother and Maria had some dinner together in my apartment and we also watched the film Love and other drugs with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. I don't think Jake is that good looking normally but I really didn't mind looking at him last night ;) He is looking really well in this film. I cooked Bolognese with vegetable bulgur, a recipe that came with my last delivery from Middagsglädje. It was really nice and a bit different. Tonight it's time for the next delivery so time to cook again ;) I love getting inspiration and it's so handy to have all the food delivered to your door, then you just pick a recipe of your choice and follow it!
