12 of 12 – December

Posted on 12/12/2008 by Cecilie

Today’s blog post is in English because today is December 12 which means it is time for 12 of 12. It has been a nice and quiet Friday in December. I had breakfast with my mother and then we made a present for some friends. Our Friday mornings are a set tradition, I guees, and I really enjoy these mornings.

It’s been a dark and dreary day so there seems to be a focus on lights in this 12 of 12 of mine. I have always loved Christmas lights and candles – they really catch my eye in the dark.

This 12 of 12 is dedicated to Chad, who came up with the idea of 12 of 12, and who needs good thoughts at the moment. Hope you get a clean bill of health soon, Chad!

Have a beautiful December week-end.

12 of 12 – July

Posted on 13/07/2008 by Cecilie

Yesterday was July 12th and time for 12 of 12. Kristian and I had a great day visiting Kristian’s parents and going to a nearby Tram Museum.

11:40: The mess left by scrapping.

13:43: Turns ahead

we have of K with the yellow gps in hand

13:45: Here comes the rain again…

16:22: I’ll admit that I took this pic because of the colours
- but it does sit on my inlaws plot for their new home.

21:21: Skate park near Roskilde
- beautiful graffiti art.

21:22: Look – even a pic of the missus herself.

12 of 12 June

Posted on 13/06/2008 by Cecilie

So, yesterday was June 12 which means that is was time for 12 of 12. I’ve forgotten to take pics for the past two months but I remembered yesterday.

The first pot of tea of the day.

Checking email – 2 unread and 326 read ones.
Ugh how I hate spam mail!

My fresh herbs in the kitchen window
- I love that there’s room for them there.

The view from my office
- it looks like rain …

Planning lunch for Saturday
- Holiday Baking might seem out of season ;o)

Downloading something to hear while cleaning
- this time I chose a Koontz’ novel.

My parents’ house
- new street lamps are being set up.

My mother has beautiful gardenroses
- love the scent of them.

Grocery shopping for Saturday’s lunch.

The date.

Look at these beautiful purple bulbs
- and they say the city isn’t beautiful?

A quick dinner watching soccer.

Yesterday was March 12th and thus it was time to take my 12 pictures. Thank you for the inspiration, Chad.

What a great mix: Gil Grissom working on solving some puzzle

or other and a Skype-conversation with Louise.

My days have been spent in the kitchen lately

- but I haven’t been cooking fancy dinners.

Ugh! The kitchen threw up all over the living room…

First order of the day:

make sure the paint only goes where you want it to go.

For some reason those bananas have

attached themselves to my work basket.

A few rays of sun and they hit

some of the essentials of interior decorating.

Aren’t those roots beautiful?

The flowers aren’t bad either.

Found a rice-boat shaped bowl and had to add
some citrus fruits to the mix. Love the colours.
Just a detail shot of those gorgeous shapes and colours.

An action shot of K.
See the Jelly Belly behind K?
With a few hours to go:

the picture showing the date.

12 of 12 February

Posted on 12/02/2008 by Cecilie

So here we go for my 12 of 12 for February. I guess an average Tuesday in the life of a full-time student isn’t all that exotic but it is a good life!

First things first – I check what’s new on Lifetime Moments to get the day started.

This month my date picture shows my updated scrap accountability blog.

Folding laundry – such a treat!

The gorgeous tulips K gave me on Friday.

Some light reading for my university class.

My little cute jelly belly sitting on the fridge making me smile.

The orange for my lunch.

This would be me checking to see if the postman might be on his way with a package.

The view out the front of my car window while stopped at a red light.

The car radio playing my favorite station.

This would be me waiting to pick my mother up at her work place.

Susan mindede mig (og resten af Lifetime) om, at det var tid til månedens 12 of 12, og jeg fik faktisk taget 12 billeder i går. Hvis du ikke kender 12 of 12, så har Chad Darnell fundet på, at man tager 12 billeder, hver gang det bliver den 12. i en måned. Det er en sjov idé – især hvis man husker at deltage… Er der nogen af jer, der er med?

An in honour of Susan; here’s a little English text ;o) I actually remembered 12 of 12 this month even if the pics aren’t spread out over the entire day but more compacted. Here we go:

A pic of the gift box I made for a friend.

This is my date-pic. This time the pic shows our phone in

a somewhat exotic environment for a phone.

I’ve been making a few cards

and the gift box and this is how my room ended up…

Øresund looked terribly dark.

So, this is me with Kronborg Castle in the background.

And we just turned around and look at how dark it is.

Loved all the fishing rods lined up.

This lighthouse sure makes sure

it is visible…

The bridge leading into the castle.

Love that two kings felt the needed to

add their monograms to the entrance.

The sign reads June 2 1806 – K was born 172 years later.

K looking somewhat like Luther.

K retrieving a geocache.

Those were my 12 pics for January 2008.

It has been the 12th again and that means 12 of 12. Still think it is a great idea, Chad.

First pic this 12 of 12 is my newly “revamped” balcony.
My flowers had dies during July and early august,

so I bought new ones and pumped a little life back into the balcony.

Grandfather Hans-Jørgen with the newly baptised Asger
in front of Asminderød Kirke.

This must be what is called “meta-photography”.

Louise in her beautifully designed garden.

Katja, Anders, Asger and Emilie.
Don’t know where Anna went.

Aunt Jane holding Asger.

Katja and Anders opening the many gifts.

Asger playing with the strap for the kamera.

Kristian’s big finger and Asger’s little foot.

Emilie measuring Anna’s and Asger’s feet against one another.

The cake that Louise made with a variation of chipboard ;o)

The invitation for the baptism to show the date.

This month’s bonus picture with the keyword “light”
- I loved how the light played on Asger’s features.

Posting my first set of pictures for 12 of 12 – and I will comment in English since the project originally is American. And even though it is a long time since July 12th; here the pics are:
