Celebration ~ There's a party goin' on right here

Wie had gedacht toen we, als design team van het wijlen Memory Lane Scrapbooking,  een dare blog begonnen in 2006 dat we nu zoveel jaar laten nog steeds mensen inspireren met onze dares.



Dus trots ben ik wel op deze 100ste Dutch Dare en op alle design team members die zoveel enthousiasme, energie, tijd en creativiteit in de blog hebben gestoken ! 6 jaar is best een mijlpaal en daarom maken we er een feestje van, bij deze ben je uitgenodigd op het FEESTBLOG van de DUTCH DARES.

Natuurlijk hebben we inspiratie voor je in de vorm van layouts, een uitdaging waar je zelf aan mee kunt doen, een kaart-schets waarvan je de uitwerkingen op de verschillende blogs van de designteam leden kunt bekijken en als je daar rondkijkt kun je meteen meedoen aan onze BLOGHOP. Tijdens deze bloghop ga je op zoek naar letters die een woord vormen. De oplossing mail je naar dutchdares@gmail.com want we geven superleuke CADEAUS weg omdat wij jarig zijn.

Als je niet via Cynthia op mijn blog bent gekomen, ga (hop) dan naar het blog van Dutch Dares om daar met de bloghop te starten. En ben je wel via Cynthia op mijn blog gekomen kun je op het blog van Jolanda de volgende letter vinden.

Bovendien geven alle leden van het DUTCH DARE DESIGNTEAM een RAK weg, gewoon omdat we het leuk vinden om eens een keertje flink uit te pakken. Om in aanmerking te komen voor het PRIJZENCIRCUS van de (10!) RAK's lees je per blog wat je daarvoor moet doen.



Om kans te maken op deze leuke  RAK incl. chipboard mini album moet je het volgende doen; 



1. Maak een foto van je scrapplek/kamer en deel dit op facebook, link het naar onze dutch dares groep op facebook zodat we het kunnen zien(even liken als je nog geen volger was daar om te kunnen linken/taggen) .
 
3. Laat me weten met hoeveel dutch dares jij hebt meegedaan in de afgelopen 6 jaar en welke je favoriet was en waarom.

Mijn jubileumdare is dutch dare #95, een dare waar het zweet me van uitbrak en waaraan ik niet had meegedaan door omstandigheden. Nu alsnog in de herhaling heb ik de volgende uitwerking gemaakt, en heel toevallig heeft ook een ander dt lid voor deze dare gekozen. (Oh en mocht je meedoen met de bloghop, jubileumdare en sketch maak je extra kansen op mijn RAK). 



Niet iedereen heeft een grote scrapkamer, een nette kamer of tafel maar des te leuker om te zien hoe de anderen erbij zitten. Ik durf mijn kamer voor en na de metamorfose met de hulp van 2 lieve scrapvriendinnen te laten zien die afgelopen februari plaatsvond, en hoop dat jij ook je kamer wilt delen !

Uiteraard hoort er bij een metamorfose een voor en na foto, dus met het schaamrood op mijn kaken heb ik hier 2 voor foto's voor jullie



 En na durf ik met een grote brede glimlach te laten zien




  
 Oh en waar jullie natuurlijk op zoek naar waren is de letter voor de bloghop, nou dat is deze weet je wat het is ?


De letter R ....

43 no way

Yes way, but still as sexy as ever ....



Happy birthday babe !

He doesn't want to have a party :( but we are going out for a celebratory birthday dinner (as per our tradition the birthday boy get's to pick a restaurant) and he didn't want a gift yet, he has his heart set on an original Red Sox jersey so we will buy that when we are in the States.
To make him feel special today, pleas give him some on his blog or on facebook. Thx !

Finally a tenner / Eindelijk een tientje



Well that's what he thinks anyway, I'm more in a state of shock that he's 10 already.
He's growing up way too fast, my first little baby boy and I wish I could keep him like he was here.....



But I can't, he has to grow up and be the best he can be and make his dreams come true. And I'm glad we are helping him do that !

The Party's over now

I'm now.

What?! I know crazy ...

And when you reach a certain age you either go in denial or go crazy and celebrate in style, I chose the latter ....

I threw a Tea Party for my friends, I got spoiled, we laughed, chatted and we had a great time it really was a sweet and wonderful day. For those who couldn't make I have photo's (all courtesy of the fab miss delis) so you can see what you missed ;) !



Want to know what I made and see close ups ? Check out my other blog !

Colin's Birthday Party



It took a while before we really celebrated his birthday (we did this intentionally because everyone was on holiday and we wanted him to have lot's of guests there to celebrate with us) but when we do we go all out ! Spongebob was our theme and I think we rocked it !

A bigger shot of the dessert table & photo wall since I'm so proud of how it turned out (credits : table by me, wall by Ed) !

the tale of a boy who finally turned 7



He's finally 7, been counting the days and reminding everyone the day before (like we could forget) that his birthday was finally close and wanted breakfast in bed but was on the sofa watching tv @ 8.00 (he went back to bed to eat it once we were up LOL).



He's a bubbly little boy, repeats the starts of his sentences numerous times until he knows everyone is listening, is the grouchy one but also the easisest to turn into a smiley one, highly intelligent ahead of his years (which frustrates him more every year as his brother will always be older and thus able to stay up later than him ...), still love watching nick jr., has trouble finding his own friends in the neighbourhood but is never afraid to be assertive in shops or fastfood restaurants when something needs to be asked/returned, has a hard time doing what he's told but if you tell him why he is more accepting, cannot be asked more than 1 chore or else he'll forget the rest, a very polite, easygoing and considerate boy when playing over at afriends house (so somewhere it is getting through whereas we only notice this in him when his brother is away), loves to cuddle you to death all the time to the point it's annoying LOL, is becoming quite the little baseball player getting better every game, can write really neatly for a lefty, hates cleaning up his room but when he does does a reall good job, likes to help getting the laundry done but hates setting or clearing the table, loves goin to bed late but we hate it that you don't know how to sleep in, love eating cereal for breakfast and faced a lot of fears in Movie Park Germany this year ( I have a really good picture I'll share soon of us 4 in the sponge bob ghost chaser rollercoaster) and adores his brother even though he gets upset with him a lot. Life would be a lot duller withouth having you around !

Spring High Tea Party

This weekend my mother celebrated her birthday, a week earlier because of mothersday, and hosted a high tea for the occasion. Last year I got ill and wasn't able to help her with decorations and baking but this year it all came together perfectly.

Here's an impression




We served lots of green & yellow candy, scones, vanilla & chocolate cupcakes, apple cinnamon muffins, banana bread muffins, mini club sandwiches, salmon sandwiches, cucumber sandwiches, chocolate, cookies, strawberries, mini pigs in a blanket and quiches.

A few things went wrong with the scones (they were intentionally smaller but I had a hard time figuring out the baking time and since I was rushing I had to throw quite a few out)and the cupcake toppings (i forgot to bring my mixer along so i didn't think it tasted ok enough but the guests seemed to like it).

A pretty cake for a pretty little girl

A friend of mine asked if I could help her out with a birthday cake for her pretty little girl as she couldn't make her yummy cakes this year. I didn't hesitate to say yes, although it was a pretty busy time already, cause that's what friends do. My first pink cake with more than 1 layer .....

A pink High Tea Party

I fell in love with the lovely parties I've seen on all the blogs I've been visiting and thought it was high time I showed off my organising& baking skills.

A pink dream was born and executed

The invites

I was spoiled with great presents and lots of guests, I haven't had such a fab bday in a long long time ! For all the detail photo's you can check out my other blog.

wow 8 years sure flew by



Sweet Michael turned 8 today and he came out of bed with the biggest smile I've seen since ages in the morning.



He got to open 1 present in the morning a big box of Star Wars Lego and enjoyed the view of his Avatar & flower (for the teachers) cupcakes that he could take to school. DH and I both worked on them and they looked pretty darn cute (as you can see those need some editing but i wanted to share them anyway).




When he got home from school he received his gift from Colin and really loved it, some iron on bead patterns from Pokemon and a pokemon surprise bal that contained a pokemon he didn't have (the boys really love playing with the little pokemon figures they have).

Then my parents & brother came and they gave him an even BIGGER box of Star Wars Lego and we went out for dinner as tradition calls for and this year Michael surprised us by requesting a pizza dinner so we all went out to the local italian and had a really good time.

Wish us luck tommorow, DH is going into surgery in the morning !
