Creativeness runs through my veins! Mostly in drawing, but these days I love fabrics and I have tons of ideas which one day I WILL create.

I just started my own business three years ago in teaching others how to draw mandala's and guide them through personal processes with that. I work for a boss in logistics 4 days a week, so only 3 days a week left to work for my passion.
Living together with a musician definitely rocked my world. I learned to really listen to music and I can appreciate most of it now. But my favorite music is:
♫ On Monday: Dance! I need it to get over my Monday morning blues.
♫ On Tuesday: new age/meditation music. This is when I write meditations and mandala drawing courses for my own business.
♫ On Wednesday: Rock. Hey...I need balance for the Tuesday. Guitars pleazzz.
♫ On Thursday: I like to listen to a radio station that broadcasts the latest and the top 40.
♫ On Friday:all of the above in a mix
♫ On Saturday: 80's and 90's
♫ On Sunday: I try to listen to the quiet. Less music is more.
I L-O-V-E to read. I crave for page turners/ Any tips?
Authors I adore:Marianne Fredriksson, Karen Slaughter, Dr. Brian Weiss, Greetje Molenaar, Saskia Noort, Susan Smit
I would love to read a novel by Joanne Rendell. Have not yet read one. Recently I read a book by Maeve Binck and I am curious about other books she wrote. Same goes for Julie Parsons and Sallie Bissell.
Feel good movies. And I printed out the Gilmorisms to watch what the Gilmore Girls watch in the series.
Dark purple, olive green, all shades of blue, turquoise, red, yellow, orange, brown. For inspiration you can see the boards color, fabrics and my style on my pinterest
See what I make on my flickr account.
♥ Drawing. I love my paper and color pencils. I still have some Karisma pencils. In the US known as Prisma. AS these are no longer available in the Netherlands, you know what would make me happy!
♥ Doodling: recently discovering doodling with ink. Zentangles and zendalas are a result of that as well.
♥ Cooking and baking.

♥ Cathy Delanssay (thanks to French people if you can send me more of her cards!)

Never thought I would add a column with things I would not like to receive, but a few months on swap bot made me realize it might be best if I want to receive things I love only and let people know what I do not like so much.
-FB's. I have no intention in filling them in and I can only wait for a profile in a swap that likes them so they will be stuck with me for quite a while.
Ear rings and bracelets. Necklaces I love though!
Unwashed smelly fabrics. I have received fabrics and crafts out of fabrics that smelled like smoke heavily. That took a lot of joy out of opening the package.
-Diddle, hello kitty, Disney items.

Hoi Kim,
Ik volgde jouw blog uiteraard ook al :)! Ik vind het zó leuk dat je in Berlijn een mooie vintage jurk hebt gevonden naar mijn tip, hihi! Ik zou ook graag nog eens terug gaan. Tot blogs!
Liefs Nikki
Hoi Kim en dat is natuurlijk wederzijds, ik volg niet alleen je blog maar ook je pinterest, waar je echt de leukste dingen op hebt! (Kom jij nog wel eens aan werken toe?) Groetjes
hoi ik heb op jou blog gekeken en geleze wat heb jij een leuk blog
Bedankt voor de thee en het hoesje voor de WTA #1 bij DS! Je kunt blijkbaar gedachten lezen, want zo'n hoesje stond al een tijdje op mijn to do-lijst. Nu slingeren die kaartje nog rond in mijn tas, en dat is niet zo bevorderlijk. Geweldig cadeautje dus!
Hello Kim,
I just wanted to let you know that I got today the Postcards RR! Thanks! The faery card is so beautiful =) I wish you a great day!
Marta
Jaaah! hij is leukkkk! Dank je. Ik wilde bruin/beige als kleuren op geven, maar deze vind ik ook heel leuk en ook nog met bruin ;-) Dank je!
love the mandala on your profile.. I am just learning about zentangles and trying to learn the shading techniques!! yours looks awesome :-)
Hi! I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic buttons you included in the rick rack, etc. round robin package. What a treat! and the colors are perfect. I love the mushrooms! Also, you are the first person that I have crossed paths with who works in a chemical related field! Awesome! Most people look at me cross-eyed when I tell them what I do. I've actually heard of your company.
Also, if you ever want to do a private trade, please let me know. Your mandalas and zentangles are enchanting and would love it if you could teach me or just get me pointed in the right direction as books or websites to get me started. I am a pretty quick learner, and am self taught in a lot of my crafts.
Anyhow, it's a pleasure to have met you! Take care, Laura
Hello Kim!
I just received your painting and memo board. It is FANTASTIC! Wow.
You've made my day. I love it. Thank you so much for tagging me!
I know the technique that you have used. I've tried it years ago and did not get it! lol
Your painting looks great though!
Dankjewel voor je lieve berichtje. Wat super dat je het boek zo goed vind (fijn! want het is echt een van mijn favoriete boeken)
