Hi friends!
Welcome to my place!
Today I have the honor of telling you I have been so surprised by my LOVELY teamies over at Magnolia down under! I posted a card late yesterday evening thinking everything was as usual and then for a change I actually didn´t sit up during the middle of the night so I didn´t hurry on over to check out the amazing creations my teamies made. Since I´m pregnant that has been the case for a couple of saturdays now ;) Today I have three days left til my babygirl is due! In Sweden it´s not very common to throw baby showers but I have seen them on TV and I´ve been thinking: "That seems like loads of fun, I´d love to have one or throw one for a friend sometime" and whilst I was posting what I thought was the "correct" inspirational picture challenge card the girls had planned to surprise me for months! I swear, they are GREAT pros at this, I had litteraly no idea of what was going on ;) This is the inspirational picture they "assigned" me:
and here´s the card I made:
Here´s the GORGEOUS picure the girlies surprised me with and that is the CURRENT challenge at Magnolia down under:

This week the ladys are asking you to make a card or project inspired by the lush picture above with the theme SHABBY BABY in mind too :)
As I wrote before I had no idea about this and I became very anxious seeing this pink gorgeousness at our blog and then looking at all the pink lovelieness made by my teamies. My reaction was: My word! I have missed out and used the wrong photo!
And then I read Louise and babyshower and I realized they had outdone themselves in keeping this a secret!
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF MY ADORABLE TEAMIES FOR DOING THIS FOR ME
You all made me feel very special and I´m so honored to read all the beautiful words you used to describe me as a friend. They mean so much to me! I consider you all to me my friends too and even though we have never met in real life you guys are amongst the once that means the world to me! I´m so happy cyber exists and I have had the opportunity to be part of something so special! I have been on a little private blog hop just now and I had tears of joy running down my face every now and then. I love my MDUC dt group and I feel I honestly will never leave! This is more than a dt - it´s a circle of friends having the best time!
I have been feeling a loss for words when I visited you all today and I hardly ever do, the love you guys have been beaming at me are just so big!
Now I can´t wait to show you all pics of little miss bubba! If she cares to join in on our festivities anytime soon ;) ♥
As you all can probably tell I´m feeling extra curious in what you are creating this week, pls join in! Baby themed stuff are so much fun to make and maybe someone else in your circle of friends is expecting a baby girl too soon? You never know! Otherwise you can just keep it til someone does and you can pass the surprise along!
Big hugs! xXx
Louise

Oh Hunny,
SvaraRaderaI am so happy that you have enjoyed our little surprise. It is the very least we could do. It is my wish to be able to meet you in person one day so I can give you the biggest HUG! And meet your adorable family too. You have been the best friend I have "never" met. To know that there will be another little person just like you in this world is joy to me. I wish you joy and happiness. Thank you for looking after me when I need it. May your newest little princess give you a swift and painless labour and be the most relaxed baby ever. I know she is going to have the lovely dimples you and Signe share :) I can't wait to meet her.
All the very best Hunny!! Not long to go now ;)
Hugs xx
Oh sweetie you made me tear up! I'm just sooooooo happy for you and wish soooo much this could have been done in person! You really ARE one of the sweetest people I know and this new little bundle of joy is one of the luckiest little girls around to have you as her mum - as is Signe. Can you believe Kylie was worried you'd be mad at us - LOL. All the best for a speedy delivery and I can't WAIT to meet your newest Princess!
