Texture Tuesday - Be confident

I wanted to try again Texture Tuesday, I haven't played along in a very long time, so it's about time to get started again :)

Here's my photo. Quote from the internet and I used textures ugglovebandw, the ladder, and friday.
I was too late to upload but I had fun making this. I really need to play more with photoshop, it has really been too long ago.

5 Min Friday

Been a long time since I played along, well here goes



Beyond my outside which I like to be as tough as can be, lies a sweet soft caring person. A person who will always care for other people, who will mostly be used by other people.
Beyond my outside shell, which I have built around me, lies a person who wants to be loved and liked just like everybody else does.
Beyond my hopes and expections and dreams, I hope and dream mostly about being accepted as I am.
But beyond that I am a fighter and will always be.
Why can't people see beyond their own values and let go of their thoughts about right and wrong, about what can be accepted and what not?
Beyond this world, there is another world for me and people like me. :)

This one is about a memory of a Christmas past and present. I enjoyed looking back to my older photographs of christmas. All those memories come back when seeing photo's. Isn't this the greatest hobby?

Day 7's subject is about everything that is still on your to do list. I had to think back what had I done around that time and what needed still to be done. We are not just a few days away from Christmas. Days are going really quick.

I worked on some layouts this weekend to try to catch up, that didn't quite work out because I am not feeling so good recently. I hope I will not come down with the flue.. Happened to me last year around this time of year as well.
Anyway the subject was Advent calander, I am using a december kraslot since few years to count down :) No big win so far...

* Journal your Christmas Day 4 *

Supplies: Very Merry & Bright from Shawna Clingerman & Jenn Barrette and Kitschy Christmas from Jenn Barrette & Sahlin Studio, journaling tag from Kristin Cronin Barrow.

I am running a little behind in my Journaling pages, you might have noticed that ;)

However, I am taking a break this weekend from all things Chrismassy in order to try to catch up. Notice the word TRY. Today I finished day 4 wish was about christmas dreams. I am hoping for a white christmas, but it certainly doesn't look like it will happen. It's now the 16th and this morning we had some wet snow which only stayed a few hours in the garden and than again the rain whiped it all away again. However for even a brief moment it was lovely sight.

Journal your christmas Day 3

This time the subject was Christmas Cards. Some years now I have been handcrafting my cards. I like it and think it gives something special. I already bought some paper earlier this year, but never came around to start it. Until now, when it's only 3 weeks or so before christmas. So I decided to make som digi cards this year. I printed them out this weekend. I have searched for printing matt, but without luck. So I am printing glossy/shiny now. I think  can collect them some days later. I  am really curious how they will turn out.
