Crazy moment with my sister's nails... again!

Haven't show you these ones yet, have I?

Another week at home!

This is the last time (hope so!) that I mention this subject, I'm only talking again when I'll have been assigned to a school.

And now, the winner of the contest "Who's Who?" is...

Joana

Congratulations I hope you like your small gift!

Help!

I'm being flooded by postcards! And I'm loving it!This came from Massachusetts, in the United States and it was sent by Sara.

And another box

Mixing of techniques: wax patina (I don't know if this is the correct term), découpage and crackling effect.

I've done it!

I don't know what's wrong

I can't upload the images. I wanted to post another postcard I received from PostCrossing, this time from Netherlands, and talk about this postcard owner's blogs , and about the funny "landmark" it has, and I can't... Ok, she created a blog to publish all her received postcards, a fotoblog and a blog. The problem is, these two are in dutch. I don't understand a thing! Nice photos, though. Photos. Those things I wanted to post here but I can't do the upload!

It's only love...

I've found out about this site through Beth (who also participated in the swap set up by Sandra) and I thought I should share...

Something different

Xmas is on its way!

Counter

I decided to change the counter and start from zero again. To see if I should keep translating the blog.

I forgot

To say that the postcard came from Belgium, from a guy that has a really interesting interesting hobby!...

Another postcard...

...from PostCrossing! It feels so good to receive mail even from unknown people! But I like to have my mail box full, no matter if it's only publicity...

Another week at home until next "cíclicas", and then we shall see...

PostCrossing

2! Two postcards have arrived at the same day from PostCrossing! What a nice surprise!
One of them is from Jennifer, at Mountain Valley, California, USA; who also has a blog KnitWit Momma, as you can see from the name is about knitting. But not only that...

And the other one is from Japan, from Monte Fuji; although it was an american who send it, Neil. For what I understood from the sort of photoblog of his , Tamano Trials and Tribulations, he is an English teacher in Japan...

By the way, today(?) is "dia de colocacões cíclicas", which means I'll be glued to the monitor the entire day, waiting for some news from the Ministry of Education's site... :(

Love

I was thinking...

...and I decided to set up a "contest"! As Sandra decided not to reveal who's her secret friend is, I decided to do the same. And whomever finds out who's my secret friend will win a little gift from me, made by myself! This "contest" is officially open to those who participate on the swap and the other readers of my blog!

Send me an e-mail with the name. Next week I will say who's the winner!

Who's Who

It's here!

Here are my gifts. I liked it a lot, specially the cat's key chain and the postcard. Now, there's only a minor problem, I don't have the faintest idea about what to do with the material you've sent me, secret friend... Ah, I thought your idea about the bookmark very interesting. And you have such a beautiful handwriting... I wish I could handwrite like that!This origami elephant was made with advertisement pamphlets because it's only for practicing. This is the most difficult model in the book foi, but I've made it!
This book is a Southwater publication and is from Paul Jackson e Angela A'court. It's a very interesting book because besides origami it has other ideas related to crafts with paper. For those of you who are familiarised with shopping through internet you can buy it here!

Lots of things:

1. I've received the notice from the Post Office to collect the package of Sandra's swap. Finally... I thought they had forgotten about me! I'm dying to know what's inside;
2. Here's the box I said I was going to show you today;

3. And another one I've finished;

4. And another creative moment with my sister's nails;

5. And the result of the experiencies with polymer clay;

6. And other earrings I felt like doing.

I hope you liked what I've showed. I'll be posting it in the Shop soon. There's more of it tomorrow!

Just one more thing before I go: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Gotinha, who was the responsible for my rendez-vous with Blogosphere, a long time ago when we had a female Minister of Education (both Gotinha and I are teachers) who thought nothing was worth enough for her to be bothered about! It was the first blog I read and still is one of my favourits until now!

I have...

...a husband and a sister laughing like crazy over a reality show called "1ª companhia"...

Découpage...

...of fabric on fabric. I've done these a few years ago...

Today I made another box, but I didn't varnish it yet. Tomorrow I'll take a photo and I'll post about it.

Yesterday I went shopping...

And I brought these magazines I adore. It's a pitty that they are so expensive and difficult to find, here in Portugal.
