vraag: hobbywinkel Amsterdam???

Hallo lieve medebloggertjes,

Bedankt alvast voor jullie reacties telkens weer!
Volgende week donderdag vertrekken ik en mijn vriendje voor 3 daagjes naar Amsterdam.
Ik heb al zoveel gezocht naar hobbywinkels in Amsterdam via google, maar het enige dat ik vind zijn eerder hobbywinkels voor vilten/ breien/ haken,...
Iemand een adresje voor mij???
Het mag echt alleen maar binnen Amsterdam zijn doordat wij met de trein naar daar gaan.
Dus een auto hebben we niet om effen wat verderweg te rijden.

Ik hoop dat er iemand een leuk adresje weet.
Bij voorbaat heel erg bedankt!

Liefs, Deborah

Moederdag

Hallo iedereen,

Iedere mama een fijn moederdag gehad? Ik hoop alvast van wel.
Om mijn mama een plezier te doen, heb ik een lekker geurend cadeautje gaan halen met een zelfgemaakte kaart. Ze was er zo blij mee dat ze moest huilen. Ik heb zo'n lieve mama!
Het is wel een slechte fotokwaliteit, maar aangezien ik hem al heb weggegeven kan ik hem natuurlijk niet opnieuw doen...

Volgens mij past die ook in de challenge van Saturated Canary: Is precies ook zo'n groen/blauw als in op de foto.

Papier is van My Mind's eye en de digi is van Saturated Canary (Zella) Wel een heel groot kleurwerk.
De trinketstempel is van Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Morgen doe ik een rondje hier op blogger en dan overmorgen beginnen we met de Krafty Peeks van Kraftin' Kimmie en ze zijn echt SUPER leuk!!!!

Liefs, Deborah
