Ok, Ok,

Time to step it up again. Long post with lots of photo's ahead, you are warned!

So on Wednesday I picked up martha from the airport, drove home, picked up Dina from the trainstation, who was already in Holland with her family(they went into town), packed all of their kits, took dina back to the trainstation and dropped Martha at the hotel. In the eveing Martha and I went out to eat Tapas, mmmmhhh! Next day Dina arrives at noon, we pick her up and go to the place where i have rented a van.

We went into town after having them taken pictures of a windmill. We shopped till we dropped and got some CUTE bags from Room Seven and Oilily. After diner we picked up Danielle and off we went to Veghel. We went to sleep right away when we arrived, tired already.

The whole weekend went great, lots of fun, relaxed and I was amazed of everyones creativity. The food was wonderful and so were the shops! Even I went up and down their stands a few times and came home with more than I planned. Loved it that there were also people from Isreal, Sweden and germany and was also happy to see some new faces and faces I already knew. I had zero stress during the weekend and stayed pretty calm during it all. The teachers were wonderful and they all did an amazing project. Here is a slight impression(sorry have too many photo's and too little time to edit them all):

(sorry martha, but I think it is cute ;)

In the end I had a box of workshop kits left. I decided to give them to Monique so she could sell them and use the money she made for Sisters Hope(research for breastcancer), such a wonderful thing she does every year. So go to her site and buy a kit and support a good cause! there are just a few kits left.

After cleaning up so fast, we went to get out last meal at the big M :)
Only had a few boxes left to take with me. Dropped the girls off at Daan's and want home. DH picked me up after I dropped off the car, it was late. I feel I am just getting back to normal life as off today.

Speaking of today: I want to the gym!!! After not going but paying for it for a year now, I went again. Time for a change. I also went to see my NEI therapist this week and we did a lot of work on me. This new stage in my life that I entered today officially will be about me. I need to take care of me, something that I forgot to do for years now, so it is me first now. Let's just see how far this will take me. I feel confident that I can do it, it feels different now, no pressure, taking my time.

Ok remember the Blythe doll that I bought on Ebay?:
 
I got her, but the more I looked at her the more the messy make-up irritated me, and she had no eye lashes, so i started to customize her myself by taking off the freckles and such so she had a clean face, than put new make-up on and gave her some stunning eyelashes. I also gave her a new name. May I introduce to you: Viper(**I typed vixen...was doubting between these two but it is Viper)
 
 
I just adore this doll. I already have tons of clothes for her by going through my old barbie and skipper clothes, bought some new and I am already looking for a sister for her...already know who I want so keep your fingers crossed that I can get her. I feel like a little girl again :)

Vixen heeft wel een metamorfose ondergaan zeg! Knap wijffie zo! Van zulke wimpers kunnen wij alleen dromen...
Ik ga voor je zitten duimen hoor, dat ze snel een zusje krijgt...
Prettig weekend - Irma

...oh, en ook al weet ik niet wat een NEI therapeut is...Ik wens je veel succes bij de "reis naar jezelf"...ben ook pas sinds kort op pad, maar als je je er dagelijks mee bezig houdt, dan kom je weer stapje voor stapje verder! ;-)

Aaaaawwwww! you just reminded me how I LOVED my skipper doll. She was the only doll I ever liked - 'cos I made clothes (& learned to sew, and enjoying playing dolly, in that way. You are so cool Corinne and I'm sad twice : my Skipper was stolen and I missed your scrapalicious get together. PLEASE email me early, so (I really hope) I can jet up there next time .... Hugs, C.

It was great, let's plan another one soon LOL. How come we always forget to take pics of us 2 ?
How did you do the make-up, it looks wonderful ! I'm scared you're gonna get me hooked on Blythe dolls too, i've been avoiding them out of selfpreservation but this is just too close .... ;)
I'm with you on the body & mind health thing, we're going to get it together this year !

[heather]

[Anniek]

Het weekend was geweldig!!! Vermoeiend dat wel, maar had het voor geen goud willen missen!!
Wat een metamorfose heeft de pop ondergaan! Ze ziet er echt stukken beter uit nu!!

[Amber Zimmerman]

Love "Viper's" new look! You did fantastic! I'm very tempted to buy a Blythe doll. . .seeing them pop up everywhere with the cute clothes and hair. . .*sigh* =)

[Martha Bonneau]

I don't even mind that you posted that picture of me because that Big Mac was soooooooo good! :)

[monique helfrich]

mwhahahaha love the idea of you playing with your little daughter, using a black AC marker to give her new make up. But hey.... what's wrong with freckles? LOL! I need that scrub you used for her ;)
So good to read you started with 'me first'; believe me, when you're first the rest will follow (you know what I mean)! For the 100 time I thank you for an awesome weekend. Kits are selling great and there are still many left of Birgit's mini 'Home is where the heart is' (got 27 kits of that one!!!).
have a nice weekend

Ik moest gewoon even laten weten dat ik die gecrocheteerde (is dat een woord??) haarband van jou geweldig vind, je staat er super mee!
Mooi ook wat je met die pop gedaan hebt, die make-over is geweldig goed gelukt.
