Mother's Day

I am so very blessed! I have the nicest and kindest boy in the world! I had told him I didn't really want anything for Mother's Day, except perhaps coffee in bed and a lazy morning in bed... I did get that, plus he had bought this Scrapbooking book for me.

I have dabbled a bit in Scrapbooking before, but I find it is sooo timeconsuming. I made an album last Easter when I had a number of days to myself and found it took a long time to go through the pictures and choose the ones for the album. However, it is very worthwhile once it is done!

Easter is coming up and there might be a chance to do another album (the pictures waiting to be sorted are numerous!!!) so I was very pleased to get some inspiration in this book!

We also made another attempt at going to Ikea (and yes, Our Boy came with us to spend the day with his Mother!) to find some inspiration for the flat in Edinburgh. This time we made it and I am pleased to say it was a very productive day! We have chosen the sofa (yes it is a sofabed for friends to stay on when the come to visit!!!),  the beds, and looked at wardrobes. Some more measuring needs to be done before we can settle on the wardrobes. The rest will be decided once we have the flat and we might want to look around Edinburgh to mix some old and new pieces.

As we say in Norwegian: "Nar det regner pa presten, sa drypper det pa klokkeren", so we also got a chair for the livingroom at our present house.The Professor is testing it out on the picture. As you see, I have started putting the NowRuz table together! I am really pleased that the Sabzi has grown so well!!!
