Happy Hellos!


My name is Anna and I'm a Pole living recently in Airdrie (near Calgary in Canada), hopeless in love with paper. Usually sitting in my studio between 8pm and midnight, if my energy lasts that long after another day with a toddler Jakob and a baby Lisa. I love to share my crafts with you, please be my guest!

New start...: Sketchy Thursdays & Beyond the Door Scrap Challenge

Happy hellos,


I think my mojo is slowly back. My fingers are itching again, this time for Sketchy Thursdays sketch and inspiration picture with shelves full of books (my world!) from Beyond the Door. I created a LO, showing a row of books, the first books we bought after the disaster with the container. The container travelling on a ship arrived from Canada in South Africa with 4 feet of ocean water. You can just imagine the damage to everything we had: furniture, bedding, personal stuff and .....all the BOOKS! That hurts! So we had to decided to wipe the tears and start over again to collect the books.
My mom in Poland is doing great job, sending me the Polish titles! Thanks Mom! That is so important for me here, because here I don't have anyone to speak the language, so at least reading will help to keep my Polish alive;)) I also found a good source for good titles: a blog of a Polish librarian www.godsavethebook.blogspot.com, where she is writing reviews. When I found the blog and started read, I was amazed about the style of her writing! Absolutely s.t.u.n.n.i.n.g!



Myślę, że moje mojo powoli wraca. Moje palce ponownie swedza, aby wykombinowac jakies LO, tym razem dla Sketchy Thursdays i dla Beyond the Door Scrap Challenge ze zdjeciem -inspiracja z półkami pełnymi książek (moj świat!). Stworzyłam LO za zdjeciem szeregu naszych nowych książek, ktore kupiliśmy po katastrofie z kontenerem. Jak pisalam wczesniej nasz konterem, ktory przybyl z Kanady do RPA, byl wypelniony woda. Można tylko sobie wyobrazić szkody, jakie ponieslismy: meble, pościel, osobiste rzeczy i ..... wszystkie książki! Bol! Zdecydowalismy się otrzec łzy i zacząć od nowa kolekcjonowac książki.
Moja mama  jest niezastapiona, bo przesyla mi polskie ksiazki do RPA! Dzięki wielkie! To jest tak ważne dla mnie, bo niestety nie mam nikogo tutaj aby moiwc po polsku,a tak przynajmniej czytanie uratuje moj polski ;)) Znalazłam również dobre źródło dobrych tytułów: blog polskiej bibliotekarki www.godsavethebook.blogspot.com, gdzie pisze ona recenzje naprwade dobrych pozycji w literaturze. Kiedy znalazłam ten blog i zaczelam czytać, byłam oczarowana jej stylem pisania! 


A note: Beyond the Door Scrap Challenge has a Design Team Callout! 
Please take a look at the very cool (again!) a sketch from Sketchy Thursdays, how could I pass it on this, heh?



See you later,

  6. Hi- first thank you for all you kind comments on my blog...I love that all over the world are connected by the world of scrap.
    My Blogname is óngevijftig', and that is a not real word in dutch- I'll try to explain.. There is a word for about in dutch, it is 'ongeveer' and the word for forty is veertig. When you put this together you get something like ongeveertig. But I am a little bit older than forty, 50+.. and that's why i choose the name 'ongevijftig' ..I hope I haven't make the confussion bigger...Have a nice day, nita
