Sweet as an apple !

This is my sweetiepie, I just loooove this picture of her. What I love about digital scrapbooking is the ability to change a "not so good" picture into a fairytaile !

Here is the original picture of my daughter and her friends in our hot tub:

And here is my newest LO made from the gorgeous kit, Under the apple tree by Jofia design:

Have a nice weekend !!

Umbrella kiss

Me and my husband at our wedding day, 27.sept 2003. Yes, it rained and was very windy but one of the best days of my life !! The door behind us is actually the door to the little church we got married in, Búðakirkja.

Located at the magnificent Snæfellsnes in Iceland, with the glacier in the background !

I (heart) you

This LO was mostly done with the wonderful new kit by Milla design, Summer Jam. This picture of Matthildur was taken when she was 14 months old and was reading a train book, tuu tuu !

Horfðu til himins (look to the sky)

My little fairy looking to the sky. It looks like she is deep in the forrest but she is actually in our backyard with only few trees behind her.

Exploring !

I was in the mood for a simple LO today. Matthildur exploring the world in our garden.

Today (June second) there are 3 years since we received our referral and saw our daughter for the first time. This day is always so special in our minds and our daughter is just pure joy !
