I am back! news on giveaways, pics and more :D

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Hello everyone! I am back home, well rested and happy, missing of course the norwegian part of the family and summer, but well, what can one do! I wish holidays could last forever!! The trip was amazing, we travelled a lot in Norway and Denmark and it was so beautiful!! Let me say, for those that doesn’t know Denmark, there’s a reason why Andersen was born there, is fairy tale land!! And OMG so many shops that sell collectable goodies!! I feel in love with one specially: Det Gamle Apotek a place in Denmark with 47 rooms filled with beautiful stuff, specially the cellar: 10 rooms underground with christmas decoractions!! I swear, the page may not show it, but it’s crazy beautiful!!!

So well, first I will share with you guys a couple more pics, and these are all from Denmark!!

All the pics are from my wonderful boyfriend Ole Jørgen Bratland

Template Issues

I received a few hundred emails from my contact form while I was away and I am still trying to answer them all. I know several of you have had problems uploading some templates, specially the News from the Sky template. I have tried modificating it, but still it just works for some, and not for everyone, so I don’t understand. Either Blogger is having its own issues, or there’s something related to the browsers and the uploader, or the previous templates you have used and the new template. I say this because in a couple of ocassions I have logged into some people’s account by request and uploaded the theme myself and it worked! So I REALLY don’t understand. If any of you is a Blogger wiz, I’d love to have your assitance on this.

For now, I recommend everyone that is still not using it, to download Firefox 3, and stick to it as a browser, it is for sure 1000% more friendly than IE.

About Quotes

In other topic, for those that write me for custom designs, I am working right now on a cuple of designs so I won’t be available to start anything inmediately. However if you want to write anyway to ask for a quote keep in mind this: To give you a price I need to know what you need. I don’t have one unique price, this depends of the complexity of what you are looking for, and also variates if you provide or not the images (or if I have to illustrate for the design). You can read more about requesting a Design Quote here.

That’s all for now I think

Lots of love to all of you and thanks so much for reading!!!!

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

Hello everyone! I am posting now from Ole’s house in Norway It’s been so far an amazing 2 weeks, relaxing and travelling around a bit. I so needed this!

And thanks for understanding

In trip news, I had experienced before Norway twice, but in winter. Long nights and cold, beatiful snow, but never this summers with neverending days! It’s amazing how it never gets fully dark And we are pretty in the south, so imagine more at North! Crazy!

I have several photos to share with you, that I hope you’ll like, with some quotes about them *hihihi*

The fjords are crazily beautiful!!!!

Taking a walk in the mountains feels amazing!

If you have never caressed a moose, you have to! They are soft like teddy bears!!!

This cute one is called Brutus

The coast line is worth to see! Magnificent for paintings really

Beware! There’s trolls everywhere!

Would you walk in this sort of plank that comes out of the mountain? (coz I didn’t brrrr) It’s not a bridge, it doesn’t get anywhere! Just to the emptyness!

Well that’s all my pictures for now I hope you guys like them!

Thanks for all the kind messages, and I’ll be back in action in August!
