Hi girls,

My name is Mieke Nagtegaal, 40 years old and I live in the middle of the Netherlands with my DH, DS (13) and DD (10). We have lots of pets and a nice garden.
I scrap for 7 years now, attended a workshop with my best friend and we were hooked..... really addicted every since. Crazy about paints, shimmerz and glimmers
I also love to make scrapcards, photography, cook, shop and read books and magazines.

This year I joined two DT's, a sketch blog from New Zealand named Little shop of sketches and the wonderful new brand Nikki Sivils. That is soooo cool! Nikki is such a sweetheart and it's a wonderful DT, do check out Nikki's blog.
You can find me on facebook, and my blog is www.mickeyspicsandscraps.blogspot.com

Hope to get to know you all a little better soon!

Welcome!

I love the Netherlands. IWhen I was growing up, I went there almost every other year. I have tons of aunts, uncles and cousins there. They are mostly in the Hague, but a few in Amsterdam and Landsmeer.

That is so cool! I have lived near the Hague for 34 years then we moved to the middle of the country. Now we live in the woods and I never want to go back to the West.



So you've seen Madurodam and the beach? Lol!





Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Welcome Mieke!!!


I have a friend in Wijk bij Duurstede that I hope to visit someday. I'm in awe of the architecture in Middelburg & some other photos I've seen.
