Advice from a tree

When you read the title you must think I am totally weird. Well, I am a bit. But when I found this online, posted by a friend on FaceBook, I just had to share.

For one, it's very cute (don't you think!?). And it is so true! I must print it out and hang it on my wall. Hopefully it will inspire you too. Have a great day my friends and enjoy the view!

Wishing on a wednesday #1

Sometimes I can send a whole day just dreaming. Daydreaming about what I want to do, where I want to go or what I want to achieve. In this weekly post I will let you in on my daydreaming and post about just that! This morning I was thinking, 'I sure wish I was better at drawing'. As you may have read in this earlier post I did, about my mum's drawings, she is awesome at it. Unfortunately I did not get any of those drawing genes from her. A long time ago I went to some drawingclasses with her, after the first lesson the teacher looked at me with a despair on his face that just said 'you will never learn'. Oh boy, not good for the confidence! So I just stopped drawing, knowing that I am just not good at it (sounds pathetic, but it is not that bad really, I moved on in life haha) But these last months I got bitten by the creativity bug, for real. I just love making things by hand and crafting. So I decided I wanted to do two paintings, of icecreamcones......with faces. And I did, and the result my friends, is here:

So yeah, I basically still suck at drawing! But you know, I had fun making these anyway! So I will just keep trying, and trying. How about you? Are you good at drawing?

DIY: Ruffled icecream cones

Finally the summer has started here in Holland. The sun is out and sun usually means icecream! I found this cute DIY project that I can't wait to do.

You can find the how to and more pictures over at the awesome Icing Designs website. You will totally get inspired to throw a party, so beware! Do let me know if you intend to make these, I love to see some results! Have a happy monday everyone!

Owlring and baby rhino

Hi everyone, as promised I will post some pictures today of my trip to Amersfoort. It was a really wonderful day, but not to much sunshine unfortunately! I didn't get to see that much of the Amersfoort citycentre, but me and my friend already promised each other we would go back again soon. We stayed in the citycentre for about 1,5 hours and did some shopping and visited a small market. Then it was off to the zoo. The zoo was very nice, lots of beautiful animals (including a newborn rhino), and the overall lay out was just very pretty with lots of space and trees. And ofcourse the awesome dino forest! Very cool to see that. Hope you all enjoy the pictures!

I bought some supercute jewelry: an owlring, bunny necklace and bracelet with Paris charms.

                                                      Then off to the zoo!

                                       And the pretty surroundings at the zoo.

Away for a day

Hi everyone, hope you are having a good week. Tomorrow I won't be able to post a new entry, because I am off on a daytrip! Me and a good friend of mine are going to a dutch city called Amersfoort. To do some shopping, have lunch in a nice lunchroom and go to the local zoo. I am looking forward to it alot and what's best: the weatherforecast is nice for tomorrow! We have had alot of rain this week, so some sunshine would be very much appreciated. I will post pictures of my trip on sunday. Have you got any nice plans for the weekend?

Summer dress; baby blue

Can you be in love with an item of clothing? If so, then I am in love with this dress from Dorothy Perkins. I love the wonderful shape and that colour! Baby blue! The little belt is a totally cute finish. This would look great with the awesome bag in my post on a coral and navy summer outfit. What do you think ladies?

Places I have been: South Germany

In the late spring of 2010 me and my parents took a holiday to the south of Germany. This was going to be the first time for me to see huge mountains! I couldn't wait, when we got in the car and left home, to see them. It was a long drive, but for us the drive to the destination is always part of the holiday. We take many breaks on the way and have lunch or picnics whenever we can! So when we were finally nearing the south of Germany and I could already see some mountains in the distance, I was so happy. In the two weeks that followed I got to see many beautiful mountains and just breathtaking landscapes. We also visited Austria a few times as part of the daytrips we took. Ofcourse this post is nothing without pictures, so here wo go!
