Make waffles, not war! CSI Case File #104

The title is taken from a postcard created by the designers at Moods of Norway, who also happened to design a tractor shaped waffle machine (a tractor is their logo, btw):

My mum gave us this cool waffel machine for Christmas, and it makes very good waffels, I promise (photos on the layout is from Moods of Norway's web site):

My Happy Place - OUAS October challenge

I just cannot believe it's November! We have had the most wonderful autumn here, and the pasifloras are still blooming in my garden - usually we have som heavy frost in September which kills them. But I don't complain!

This layout is about my happy place - our patio and garden:

Background paper & title: LilyBee. Others: Carta Bella. cutouts: Elle's studio.

Journalings says: It's just so relaxing to sit down in the patio, watch above the land and sea, knowing it's growing and blooming there.


A few details:

Flowers & photo frame: Freckled Fawn. Resin birds: Webster's pages. Ribbon: MME

Yellow striped gem: Queen &Co. Wooden hearts: unknown
