Postcrossing

I decided to join Postcrossing again after a several years break. In Postcrossing you get random people/addresses to send postcards to, as well as you receive postcards from other people.

Here's my first outgoing batch:

Runes to Germany

Tram to USA

'God, our Father, on the Rainbow Fountain' in Nacka, Stockholm. This card goes to Russia. I can't believe I have never seen this before, especially since it's by Carl Milles, my favorite sculpture.(I shouldn't get into politics here, but I just need to say that I usually boycott Russia. But you have to send cards to the address you get.)

Dalecarlian horse to China. This is one of Sweden's most famous things. The tradition of carving and painting these horses started back in the 18th century.

Squirrel to Czech Republic.

Books on sale

I just told my mom that I've bought a few books on sale. She laughed. Well, yeah, I already have fifty-something unread books. But these ones screamed "buuuyyyy meeee"!

If you want to check out in English what they are about:
Grethe Boe - Mayday
Bethany Clift - Last One At The Party
Tom Vanderbilt - Beginners

EFIT - July 22

EFIT, Ett Foto I Timmen - A Photo An Hour, is about documenting your life on certain dates, post on your blog and share with other participants. It's one of the reasons I wanted to start blogging again (the other reason is to participate in cardmaking challenges).

More cards again

Five new cards added to my Etsy shop. Tomorrow we will move on from birthday cards to other themes. 😊

Fly me to the moon

Nope, not the song, I don't like Frank Sinatra. I'm talking about the movie. My friend treated me to the movies today, and finally a movie that didn't disappoint me.

"Fly Me To The Moon" is supposed to be a romantic comedy. I'd say more comedy and less romance though. Scarlett Johansson does a brilliant job, I absolutely loved her part. Channing Tatum - not so much. He seems to have the same acting talent as a rock. I don't mean the actor called The Rock. I mean an actual rock. Woody Harrelson was good as always.

More cards on Etsy

 I just uploaded more birthday cards to my Etsy shop. Welcome to have a look and maybe order something. 😃

You can also purchase them directly for me instead of via Etsy. International payment via PayPal, Swedish payment via Swish.

My Etsy shop is up and running

 I have neglected my Etsy shop for way too long. Now I have finally added a few birthday cards. I'll work on adding a lot more cards within the next few weeks. 😊

No Horizon for me

Earlier this week, my friend and I went to see Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1. We both had very high expectations. How could a western movie with and by Kevin Costner get wrong? Well, besides the lenght maybe, I would find any three hours movie too long.

For us, I did get wrong. At first, I thought it was just me. I've been down and anxious lately, and thought that maybe I just couldn't concentrate on the movie because of that. But obviously that wasn't the reason, as my friend was highly disappointed, too. We couldn't feel connected to any of the characters, and some of them did a bit of bad acting as well.

Well, the movie itself being kind of plain (although a lot of violence), we could at least hope for some eye candy. We both find Kevin Costner attractive. Yeah, right. During the two hours we saw before actually leaving the movie theater (!!!) he appeared for a total of 5-10 minutes. I don't know about my friend, but my biggest benefit was Sam Worthington and Luke Wilson. The two best actors in the movie, and actually eye candy, too. 😉

Leaving the movie early, we went to Bishops Arms for a beer instead.

100

Today I made a commission card for my friend Chris. It's for a couple who both celebrate their 50th birthday, hence the "100". I've used paper from Ciao Bella's Indigo collection. Those papers are so gorgeous that it's impossible to not make nice cards with them.

Book no. 4 - Black Ice

After finishing my previous book in just a couple of days, This one is really good too, but you ARE able to put ut down every now and then.

Bokens svenska titel är "Det som göms i snö". HÄR kan du läsa vad den handlar om.

English titel is Black Ice, and oon THIS PAGE you can read in English what the book is about.

A must read!

I highly recommend Harlan Coben's 'Hold Tight'. I'm hardly able to put it down.
