And then we kept on using it, as… Continue Reading “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. ~ Boyd K. Packer”
As a rule of thumb, I would say the smaller the pond, the more belligerent the fish. ~ Craig Brown

You can plant a dream…

Transformation literally means going beyond your form…
…and I got a bit OUT of form. The reason why I absolutely don’t fit in that top of an awesome band, I bought once. Sad but true. Good that I have enough tops, but there’s something that a woman can not have enough… Continue Reading “Transformation literally means going beyond your form…”
Memory in a bottle cap
Since I live in Sweden now, I’m recycling really serious. 🙂 And that lead to me having these bottle caps in hand again… There must be something better to do with them than throwing them away. And then I had these tiny very useless… Continue Reading “Memory in a bottle cap”
