About fairies and vacations

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012

I finally was able to buy 4 hang vitrines that I wanted to have like 2,5 years ago. There is this site called Marktplaats.nl you can buy all kinds of things there used and new and even hire people for little jobs. Now this was the ultimate place for me to have a chance to buy these vitrines. I kept looking for them every once in a while till beginning last week. Having all my collected fairies being boxed up for like 2,5 years makes me so sad and realizing this year is about to end and to face another year coming up without my fairies made me decide to post my own advertisement at that site. Nah you don’t have to go looking, I removed it by now. But in that add I asked for 4 of these vitrines to buy. I expected to have to wait a little time. Every collector wants these vitrines for there collection. They are very much wanted, but to my surprise the next day someone responded.. they had 3 vitrines I had to think about that because I really wanted 4 because my collection is still growing and I am going to need to place the ones that are to come as well. So I was thinking about that offer for a day and then the next day I got another email with someone who wanted to sell 4! OMG that would mean my quest for the vitrines would be over! So me and the salesman started to mail back n forth about the condition they where in, the cost and when I could come to see and possibly buy them. That day was today. I asked my colleague if he wanted to help me by driving for me in his car to transport them. He was so kind to help me out and so no matter it was storming so bad that the weather reports had been sending out warnings, we went to get my vitrines. Right now they are home, standing in my hallway, waiting to be hanged. And I, I am so thrilled that I finally can unpack my fairies soon and look at my treasures again that had to go hidden in boxes for so long, I can barely wait till they hang…

On another note, do you guys remember that I won this city trip with spa&fruit? Well if you don’t, that’s okay, I still won them and still gonna go on this city trip. WE finally decided where to go and its going to be Budapest. Something totally different from what I had in mind and wanted in the first place but I am exited nonetheless. There are so many places I like to see and Budapest really was not on that list, but that would make Budapest  the less likely place I would go visit if I get to go on another vacation (which I probably will some time). And THAT fact made it interesting to go visit Budapest :). We are going to book a nice 5 star hotel with a view onto the parliament buildings near the center of Budapest. Its going to have a pool, free WiFi and won a price recently for having such an awesome breakfast and that is included in our stay. We also are booking a tour on the Donau with a boat in the evening, and the transportation tickets for the whole stay there, so we can go wherever we want. I am so exited all ready though we are going to have to wait till the end of April 🙁 sob sob.

And then last but not least I get to make another cake for someone. That’s cool right? I will show pictures when its finished and presented to the person who asked for it.

11 November 2012 Sint Maarten

Sunday, November 11th, 2012

Sint Maarten is also known as St Martins day is  a Tradition where I live. On this day children in The Netherlands and Belgium will go out after its getting dark and walk from door to door with in their hands a lantarn with a little lamp in it and in the other hand a bag. They will ring the doorbells and after opening they will sing a little song to the person who opened the door.  This person then in turn will hand out the children some candyor  a mandarin, a cookie and sometimes even money. Most common is candy  or mandarins though.

This year we decide to go out with Anarosa to, together with the kidsclub that’s run by a colleague of me. It was a lot of fun and Anarosa truly enjoyed it. Of course she could not sing the songs as she didn’t knew the words but she hummed along and even danced as the others where singing. Most of the time she just walked together with the daughter of my colleague, and the two of them had a great time. My colleague and me both walked with them of course, we would not let our kids just ring at strangers doorbells even at an evening where so many people are out on the streets for this event, you don’t want to take any chances. And Anarosa of course is too young anyway to be anywhere on her own anyways.

Going back in time

Friday, November 9th, 2012

Like the title said I am going back in time because some people still don’t understand how to approach someone. First off, I do not believe in coincidence things happen for a reason, often those things are being manipulated and forced to happen.

A little while ago, to be exact August 12 this year I made a post titled “My Dad” Don’t ask me why I wrote Dad starting with a caps D but I just did without having a reason for it that I am aware off. For those who do not remember that post, here it is:  http://www.whisperedwords.nl/?p=1016 . That link will open in a new window so don’t worry you won’t lose this post unless of course you decide to close it.

So why do I bring this up? Well if you read that post by now then you know that i did not only wrote about my dad, but also about some stranger who approached me on facebook and send me a friend request. This person was connected with an ex of me as mentioned in the other post.

Now lets get back to the reason of this new post I am writing right now. I received another friend request from someone that I don’t know. This time it is from someone who is befriended with my dad !! O.o I don’t get those people, I don’t understand  why they are trying to connect with me through other people. If anyone has something to say to me and know how to find me then why don’t they just tell me. If someone else can befriend me or try to then so can they right? I really have a hard time trusting people like by default. Sneaky people like that just give me more reasons not to trust them and befriend them. Now I don’t know if that person is going to read my post and if they can read English or not, and I don’t care, this is MY blog and my thoughts that I wanted to write and post in English and I don’t want to have to write it twice and I am certainly not writing it for them, I am writing this for me as selfish as I am LOL. If they happen to read this then please tell me what are you thinking!? Why this kind of approach??

All right, so much for this post I wonder, what’s next?!? Or maybe I should say, who’s next???

Halloween and cupcakes

Wednesday, November 7th, 2012

So yeah finally I feel like posting again. I have been so very busy with so many different things and so many more things are coming up again but I finally got things a little bit in order again although my house could use a vacuuming I still have a laundry in the washing machine waiting to get hanged, I should really work on my CreaBea project map again. The Halloween party was a great success, the speed mini-cupcake workshop last saturdays was a success as well. Pictures of the Halloween party are  in my gallery!

This week started with breakfast at CJM and then a meeting with CJM about what was coming up this week, a meeting about the newspaper we are going to be running from CJM, and we coördinated our presentations for Tuesday for the budget of 700 Euros that we could get. That means I had to make cupcakes on Monday evening and decorate them on Tuesday. I had someone watch after Anarosa because taking her with us on that presentation was NOT a good idea. And then we already arrived on Wednesday. Last night the presentation was a great success.

The budget was granted and that means I have a 700 euros to spend for my CreaBea clubs. I am thinking about buying a new mixer so that my own little handmixer can be used for what its meant for and not those heavy projects I am using it now for. Once in a while a cake or a dough is not a problem but once I have to start mixing 2 doughs or more and 3 buttercremes  or more all on one day then my handmixer starts having problems and I like my handmixer. Its actually a Braun Multimixer and it can do a lot more then mixing. its just a complete kitchen machine. Any how that problem should be solved once I have a new kitchen machine that’s more professional.
