This is me

Hello reader!
I realized I didnt even mention my name before; its Erika. Im a 18 years old typical Swede, living in Stockholm. Im not blond and blue-eyed, though. I live at home with my mom, dad, sister Malin who is two years my junior, our cat Sebbe, a bunch of fishes and my bunny Tindra. Im a pretty classical good-girl, ashiving high grades, helping out and being generaly friendly. Still, Im very silly with a lousy humor and too much laughter.

Im one of those annoying people who do everything - I just get bored sitting on my ass ;D When I was a kid I did diffrent activities every day after school - flute, 4H, horseback riding, gymnastics (which took up about 8 hours a week), dance, violine and probaly more stuff I cant even remember.
The only one Im still sticking to is 4H, and I just realized how thankfull I should be to Annie who pulled me into it when we was 7 or something. Without going into details to what I do, since that will get boring, I can just say that I have a lot to do. This might sound like Im just trying to promote 4H, but I actually believe I have most of myself thanks to 4H. It has taught me so much, and is one of the reasons to all my traveling and intrest in the world around me.


Me when I had turqouse braids.

To leave all that, Im a sci-fi geek - with my full hearted love and more to the tv-series Sanctuary. Amanda Tapping, Martin Wood and Damian Kindler are my goods. Im living by one of the quotes in the secons episode ever "The great ones dare to believe in the unbelievable" <3. Im also geeking out to Bones, NCIS, Glee and Stargate. The best books I´ve ever read are by David Eddings, the fantasy lord and Carrie Vaughn, the genious autor of the werevolf-Kitty series. My music taste is genuinly mixed, the list topped by christinan singer David Hodges, the amazing rockband Evanescence, many wonderful Disney tunes and a range of movie music. Music and movies are my inspiration in scrapbooking, one of my favorit craftings.
Scrapbooking is one of my favorite hobbies, quickly followed by others, and I do it as often as I can (though time happens to be rare). As said in my first entry, I publish almost all my creations on my blogg for the world to see (but not judge). I just love making things, its like direct concentre all your emotions and thoughts in to an object. Scraping and such is also the best way ever to give way for all my favorites quotes!

I guess that is plenty enough about me, or at least I cant think of anything relevant to say (as you might have noticed already). Except to say that Im the world giggleiest and silliest little girl, who cant stop seeing the world through my sunshine filled rainbow and x-ray glasses.


First entry

Hello people! I just realized that I tend to never write anything down during my visits ofshore. I wish I had some kind of diary where all my experience was written down so that I could re-live it. Since I know writing diary doesnt work for me, and when blogging I just get bored, I decided to create a travel-blogg where I only have to write when Im actually experiencing something, no strings attatched. So here I am, at my new domain "sparklingandtravel". At my spare time at home though, I´ll still be hanging out on my old "sparkling.webblogg.se/catlin", where I do all my cretive stuff. So to you, the maybe non-existent reader, welcome to my travels :)
