More scrapping...

I was worried it was too many photos to all go into one post, so here's the second one...

Some layouts for an 8 x 8 album I'm doing:

 

 
 
  
 

There are some pages to go in the middle that aren't yet done - I didn't have the photos printed, so they may happen tomorrow...

For my scrapping friends...

Hi all,

I've been promising for a while that I'll get up photos of some of the scrapping stuff that I've purchased - as well as the work I've been doing with it.  So, here goes...

This was the first layout I did, when I found some scrapping stuff - before I'd printed any photos:


Here are some of the goodies I've brought:


And some of the layouts I've done for an 12 x 12 album:

Swedish words...

Sorry, I've been awfully slack in my postings - combination of spending too much time on a computer at work (and not wanting to when I get home), finding scrapbooking supplies that I've been playing with at the weekends (and yes, to everyone I've promised - I will get around to putting up photos), and generally feeling a bit unwell and so so tired...

The last few days (since the clocks have been set back to non-daylight saving time) it's been dark, and I mean night time dark, dark at 4.30 in the afternoon - it's just not right, and it's messing with the body clocks on all the Aussies!

But anyway, here I am.  I thought I'd give a run down on some of the Swedish words that we've learned since we've been here...
 
Swedish
Pronounciation
English
Hej hej
Hey hey
Hi
Hej då
Hey doh
Bye
Ja
Ya
Yes
Nej
Neigh
No
Tack
As it’s written 
Thanks (don't say it with an 's' on the end though - that means dog!!)
Tack sä mycket
As it’s written
Thanks so much
Ushekta
As it’s writen
Excuse me
Bra
Like the underwear
Good (most guys I know would say it’s what’s in the bra that’s good, but anyway...)
Slut
Sloot
Finish/end
Lax
As it’s written
Salmon
Fiska
As it’s written
Fish
Biff
As it’s written
Beef
Kyckling
Shickling
Chicken
Fars
Farsh
Mince
Kista
Sheesta
It’s a location – where we work

This is a bit about how my train trip looks on the way home from work:  We get on at Kista (Sheesta) where we work and catch the train to Fred (Fridhemsplan) where we change lines - Fred is the station straight after Start Shaggin' (Stadshagen - actually pronounced Stads-hagen), then catch toward 'home'.  We stay near a station called Odenplan (Oh-den-plaan) I practice saying with the train announcement quite often - it gets me some weird looks, but hey - I'm the chick who sings and dances in the supermarket aisles - I've had weird looks before!

Well, I guess that's about all I can go on about for tonight - thanks for reading along!
