Happy Holidays!


Hello my dear blog readers, I am sorry for my lack of effort updating my blog etc etc, but my life has been very busy with "real life" things, from house hunting to a very ill dog. I haven´t done any crafting what so ever and I am not sure when I will find time for it either as it looks today.
I have looked at all your blogs during this hectic time of my life, but been very bad leaving comments etc etc. I am so sorry for that! I do love your work as always anyway.
Lilltass had Borelia (Lyme disease ) and had heaps of medication, how ever he seems to be all well now but he needs to build up his muscles again etc etc. Thank you for your kind e-mails and support when he was ill, I am very happy for that, I can´t thank you enough.
It’s really warm here I don’t know what to do with myself or Lilltass on the other hand, he is super hot and I have to do my best to keep him cool.
Now, this break has been very nice for me and my real life, I miss the cyber world, but as I said before my real life comes first, making cards and other crafting is a superb hobby and it makes friends all over the world, how ever some days I actually consider to throw all my stash in the bin and never look at card making or scrapbooking again.
I am normaly the master of finding time for my hobby without any effects on my domestic work and social life but latley I have been feeling a bit "down"and "stressed out" and I had to step down a bit and just realx and have some time for my self and my loved ones.
I am not sure when or if I will be bloging as much as I did before but I will be around from time to time with some "life signs".
I wish you all a happy summer holiday, take care of your self and your loved ones, thank you for readingt his - have a good day!

Hi my dear friend. What a lovely picture of you both...I swear you look younger each time I see you!
So sad to read that you probably won't be around much in the future. I fully understand the reasons for your absence...family life must always come first. I miss your fabulous cards and creations so much...you are such an inspiration to me.
I wish you and your family a wonderful summer, relax and enjoy...and maybe we will 'see' you again some time in the future.
Big Hugs Malin

I am glad that your beautiful dog is on his way to getting well. Our pets become beloved family members and we suffer when they are ill. Now that he is on his way to recovery, you can relax a bit more and give your nerves a break.
On the other hand, I will be sad not to see your lovely creations! I had barely found your blog and now, it might not be around very often. I DO understand, though, and wish you, your family and your beautiful dog all the best. You all need to take time to relax, get healthy and happy and maybe you will recover the urge to create once again.
Best wishes from a USA friend!

Skönt att Lilltass är bra igen! Och kul att få ett blogginlägg från dig att läsa, men självklart ska det riktiga livet gå före en blogg! Och snälla, släng inte dina pysselsaker! (isåfall kan du slänga dom hitåt ;) )
Skämt åsido, blir man pysselsugen så blir man.. eller inte. Huvudsaken är nog att det inte blir ett tvång!
Sköt om dig och de dina i värmen!
kram Nina

Take care

Hi Malin, it's so nice to read something about you!
Lovely picture, you look wonderful and sooooooooooooooooo young! And Lilltass looks gorgeous! I'm so glad that he is better!
Take the time for yourself and your loved ones, but please don't throw away anything, I'm looking forward to your creations, even if I have to wait a few months for this!

In Holland it's very hot, it's not my favourite weather at all, but there is nothing to do! I don't have airco in my ''old timer'', and I drive through a hell every day! Three more weeks and then I have holiday till september, I can't wait!
Enjoy every moment, please show us a photo from time to time!
Hugs, hugs, hugs, Alina

Hi Malin! so sorry to hear that Lilltass has contracted Lyme disease, that's what my son has got too - it's a very nasty disease. Hope you and your family are keeping well and good luck with the house hunting.
love and hugs, annie x

Love the photo Malin and agree with Carol that you seem to look younger in every photo :)

I think what you're doing is the best (I'm starting to do less challenges now and if it weren't for the couple of DT's I was on would probably post less often too. Just don't throw anything away, keep some as you will want it back (I went through couple of years of not crafting much but it came back!) Take care of yourself and I'm sure you'll be 'around' even if you don't post. Hugs, Fran x

p.s maybe you should do what my sister did for her doggy (she lives in Florida)- she cuts her hair in summer LOL

I am so glad Lilltass is okay...you must have been very worried about him!!..I agree real life come first. Card making is a great hobby...but if it becomes stressful..it's work!!....Hugs, Ila

Hej Malin! Vad skönt att Lilltass mår bättre. Usch, så jobbigt när husdjuren är sjuka. Jag förstår verkligen att du tar en paus från pysslandet. Det behöver man ibland. Hobbyn ska man ägna sig åt för att man tycker det är roligt och det får en att må bra, inte av någon som helst annan anledning. Hoppas att ni hittar något hus som ni tycker om och kommer att trivas i. Önskar dig allt väl min vän. Kram kram /Hanna

Hej på dig Malin:) Tack snälla för din hälsning på min blogg du är jo så himla gullig:) Vad tråkigt och vad ledsen jag blir för din skuld att din hund har varit sjuk måste ha varit jättejobbigt! Det händer saker här i livet som man inte styr över och det går upp och ned. Jag har också haft en riktigt tung period och har inte orkat blogga runt. Jag har fortfarande haft suget efter att pyssla och har lagt ut mitt arbete men har inte orkat svara på kommentarerna. Det är som det är Malin och var å en måste göra det som är bäst för en själv. Ta den tid du behöver och jag hoppas att du någon dag blir sugen och skapar nya underbara saker för jag älskar att titta på dom:)Sköt om dig och ta hand om dig själv och din familj, önskar dig allt det bästa:) Många stora kramar fån lilla pyssel Inger
