Craft Challenge May: Wall Art


Finally I found the time to show you my project for this month's Craft Challenge! I already finished it last week (yes that's right! It wasn't last minute work this time) and I must say I am pretty pleased with it.

Like my previous projects this one is also very affordable and it can be made in an afternoon.

Fresh start of the day - Deluxe

A think you probably don't know about me is that my dream is to one day open my own sandwich shop or lunch room.....

So when ever I have the time I make my boyfriend a nice sandwich that I came up with as a test case. And today I am going to share one of those test cases with you. Here is the sandwich that I made yesterday:

Fresh start of the day - Deluxe:


  • Italian bread roll. (Here in Holland we have all sorts of bread rolls! This one is white bread with Italian Herbs in it. You can just buy it at a local backery of grocery shop.)
  • Yoghurt based mayonaisse
  • Cucumber
  • Tomatoes
  • Cheese
  • Avocado
  • Boiled egg
  • Some thinly sliced bacon
Just put it on the roll in this order and you have this result:



Smakelijk eten! Which is Dutch for Bon Appetit!

April Blog Angels half-way post

As you know I have been participating in Rosie's Blog Angel 'program' for a while now. But what is a Blog Angel? 

If you look up the following 2 words BLOG and ANGEL you will find the following definitions:

Blog: a Web site containing the writer's or group of writers' own experiences, observations, opinions, etc.,and often having images and links to other Web sites. (http://dictionary.reference.com)

Angel: a person having qualities generally attributed to an angel, as beauty, purity, or kindliness. (http://dictionary.reference.com)

So if you combine the 2 words you know what being a Blog Angel is all about! It is about helping an other blogger by:

- Commenting on posts
- Button exchange
- Helping with the lay out 
- Guest posting
- Writing a post about them
- Following them on other social media platforms
- etc, anything you can think of will work!

For this month I haven't been the ultimate blog angel.... But luckily the blog I am trying to help is a blog that already has all the features and qualities of being a great blog! So I feel there is not much I can add.... But this blog does give back by inspiring me! So being a blog angel is not only about helping someone else it is also a great way to get new inspiration and to make new friends!




At the end of the month I can reveal to you which blog I am talking about, but I will try to find some way to end this edition with a special something. Not quite sure what it will be... but I am working on it.
