I would never do this! Thats for sure 😛
Mom & Dad-Chairs
This is gonna be so off topic.. nothing nail related here today.. move it along people 😛
This Christmas I picked up a great idea from on of my favorite blogs, the danish blog guru Marie. She had a post about on how her home looked and had included a little contest and some pictures. See her post here And in this I saw a great idea for a Christmas presents to my mom and my future “dad” 😛
So I present the Mom and Dad Chair!
Step 1:
You take 2x old dusty chair from a flea market
Step 2:
You take 1 old dusty grandfather to help you get the buttons off the legs
Step 3:
You burnish(is this right word?) the chair where the glue is suppose to be put on
Step 4:
You put a lot of pictures of the person the chair is intended to on
Step 5(optional):
Then you maybe put something a little extra on (in this case a picture from their wedding day)
Step 6:
Then you coat it with some see through stuff so it wont be worn up so quickly and voila you have a mom and dad chair ;D
Then you have the dusty grandfather disguise it as something completely different when wrapped.
And then they had a very merry Christmas! 😀
I wish I was there when they got the present, but this year I had to work Christmas eve
(oh well can re-use the idea when I get some grandchildren for them at some point :P)
But they really liked their present and it came in handy for our Christmas party 😀
Ebay… I hate you!
This beauty is on its way home to me!
New year, new design
So it finally happened. I have been getting more and more pissed annoyed with using blogspot the last couple of months and since my first shift at work this year is 2 days in the weekend (where absolutely nothing happens) I thought this would be a good time to start finding a new theme and get it all sorted 🙂 So after a few hours browsing themes I found this one and I am really happy about it. Its nice colors that suits me and the blog. I worked all day on moving stuff and finding widgets so all would work the way I liked. I will move the Google friend connect widget over tomorrow so hopefully if anyone wanna site, wait till tomorrow 😛 I hope you all like it and the blog also had a name change to make it look a bit more professional. Many didn’t get the spelling error in the text was on purpose so had to explain it a lot of times 🙁 So now any misunderstandings should be out of the way. Some upcoming stuff will be a giveaway sometime in the near future and I plan on doing a lot more NOTD’s that I have been slacking on a bit these last couple of months. Mostly cause of busy at work and I thought of making the votes so I would get a little more time between the posts. If you btw. see anything not working or you would like to have your link added to my blog roll please e-mail me or leave a comment!
Thanks to all who reads in here, you are the reason I keep blogging 🙂
Hugs from Maria
This is the 500th post o/ very good timing 😀
A decade is over! (picture heavy)
Inspireret af Stinestregen og hendes illustrerede nytårstale vil jeg starte det nye år med at se tilbage på de sidste 10.
2000 – 2003 – 17 år til 20 år – age 17 to 20
Da jeg ikke havde computer før i 2003 måtte jeg lige slå de her år sammen.
Jeg brugte de år på at gå først på produktionsskole i Roskilde, derefter Roskilde Teknisk Skole på grafisk linje og fandt så ud af at jeg ville være IT-supporter og i 2001 startede jeg på TEC Ballerup hvor jeg gik indtil 2003. I 2003 droppede jeg uddannelsen og fik et job i Sverige.
Since I didn’t own a computer until 2003 I had to combine these. I used these years trying to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up, but ended up quitting those I started and got a job in Sweden instead
2000 – Helt korthåret da jeg begyndte at lade det gro – Very short haired
2000 – Lidt længere håret – a bit longer hair
2002 – Til lan og længden på håret er den jeg stadig i dag kæmper med at få lidt længere 😛 At a computerparty, the length on my hair I have to day, but I struggle to get it a bit longer without any greater success 🙁
Sommer 2003 – har lige fået hevet 16 lag farve i håret ud – Just got about 16 layers of hairdye pulled out so was blond again 
Vinter 2003 – En af de første fester i Sverige ;D one of the first parties in Sweden
Udsigten fra min lejlighed i Sverige(der lå sne fra oktober til april sådan cirka) – View from my apartment in Sweden(had snow from october to april) 2004-2006 – 21 til 22 år – age 21 to 22
Jeg boede i Sverige indtil Juni og flyttede derefter med min ekskæreste til Århus – I lived in Sweden until Juni then I moved back to Denmark with an ex.
EM 2004
2005 Forår – Min oldemor døde, virkelig smuk begravelse – my greatgrandmother died, she had a beautiful funeral
2005 vinter
2006 – 23 år – age 23
Jeg flyttede tilbage til Roskilde i en 1 værelses – I moved back to Roskilde to a tiny apartment.

Boede hele året i Roskilde og Martin tilbragte meget tid hos mig, så vi var nærmest for det meste 2 i min lille lejlighed – Lived in Roskilde all this year, Martin spent a lot of time there, so we got close in that tiny apartment 😛
Forår/spring – vi venter på færgen ved Odden – waiting for the ferry (sign says Dog toilet)

2008 – 25 år – age 25
Mig og Martin flyttede sammen i starten af året, jeg stoppede med at ryge og i midten af April fandt vi en lejlighed i Herlev. Jeg ved ikke hvor jeg har gjort af billederne jeg har af lejligheden men de må undværes, evt. kan den ses her og en opfordring til Echoes om at viderebringe taggen 😛 eller andre der måtte have lyst til at lege med 😀 Der skete ikke rigtig så meget det år andet end at min kæreste kom igang med sin uddannelse og jeg startede på nyt job. Og ved ikke om det er derfor jeg ikke har så mange billeder igen men kunne ikke rigtig finde nogen i hvert fald – Me and Martin moved together in the beginning of this year, I quit smoking and in April we found an apartment in Herlev. I dont know where I put the pictures of it, but they can be seen here her and a little encouragement to Kellie to do the tag 😛 and others if they want to play along 😉 Nothing else really happend this year, my boyfriend started on his education and I started on a new job, so dont know if thats the reason I dont have that many pictures, because I couldnt really find any.

Sommer/summer – Udsigten fra vores kahyt på Oslobåden – went on a short boattrip to Oslo, Norway, view from our cabin
2009 – 26 år – age 26
Den er jo ret nemt for jeg kan bare henvise til bloggens start og så kan man kigge med derfra 😛 Det her år har nemlig ikke rigtig budt på meget andet end arbejde fra min side af. Vi har været en tur i sommerhus med min mor og hendes mand + hans datter og søn og så en tur med Martins mor og søster som der også er billeder af her på bloggen – Now this is an easy one since I can just refer to the blogs beginning and then you can read from there. This year havent really been other stuff than work for me. We went to a short vacation in May with my family and again in July with my boyfriends family.
