I hope you can handle it...

...'cause there are more key-rings on their way!
My friend Lúcia complained that she didn't have the real notion of how big the key-rings were. There you go, is that better?

When I was writing the tittle I realised that I don't know if there's any man reading this (besides my Sabujo)... Are there any male crafters? Identify yourselves, leave a comment and say something! C'mon, don't be shy...

PostCrossing

Karla was the first person I sent a postcard through PostCrossing. I like it when we keep writing each other, not when we just send one postcard and that's it... It's all about sharing.
Thanks, Karla!

Here it is!

It's made from the same stuff of the Holy Bread . Unfortunately it won't solve the world's famine problem...

Did you know?

There's money you can literally eat! I'll show it tomorrow.

Fresh and colorful news

The last key-rings I've made. I can't resist them! I've got other things to do and they keep calling me! Aren't they gorgeous? The Blue C already has a new owner!

PostCrossing

Another postcard... It's so god to get these littles gifts... This one is from Marisa, Porto Alegre, Brazil. A really nice postcard indeed!

Don't forget that now I have United Postcards of the World. Go see it. For the time being there are only the 2 postcards received by my Sabujo, and 1 of mine "uploaded" from Flickr, but I didn't like the way it looked like, so I got to change it and post the other ones. I'll do that later, now I'm too busy...

Finally...


...a picture of my kitten Farruca that I really like! Here she is in all her mighty beauty! (Those things around her are pieces of one of the shopwindows I'm decorating...)

S. Martinho*

Today I'm very lazy... It must be the "jeropiga" (it's a kind of sweet wine, very portuguese!)... This have been said, you can see an image of my "magusto" (in a magusto we light a fire, usually outdoors, and we roast chestnuts. And we do other thinks, but as I said, I'm too lazy today...) here.
And that way you'll also find out about one of my favourite songs!

*S. Martinho is a church holiday celebrated here in Portugal on the 11th of November to honour a saint who died at the hands of some roman emperor... Maybe tomorrow, if you want to, I'll elaborate this...

About Postcrossing

Today my Sabujo, as always, went to get the mail. He brought his two postcards (you can hardly imagine his happiness!...) and told me that I also had one... I was "stupid" to see that it was a postcard from him! Wasn't it a romantic gesture?


And these details?... (For those of you who don't know Amo-te means "I love You")

Ai... ai...

After this we decided to create a blog to show our postcards! And this is what we ended up with

United Postcards of the World!

Almost a week without posting...

But here I am again!

8 To show you some more key-rings...

8 Another postcard from PostCrossing. This time from Denise, from Ocala, in the State of Florida, U.S.A.!

8 To tell that I've received my 2nd swap from the Project Escrever, trocar, partilhar e sonhar! (To write, swap, share and dream) that Sandra set up. Thanks Secret Friend! I already know what I'm going to do with that little plate: to put some pot-pourri and the candle... My living room will be scenting soooo gooood!...8 Because of some questions in the comments (in the Portuguese version) about the magazines that I bought:
I promise to Sandra from the blog MadeByMe (I hope she will post regularly, bacause I liked her blog a lot) that when I'll have some spare time (Now I'm a little busy with X-mas shopwindows...) I will post a lengthy and thorough post about the zillions magazines about craft that I buy... You'll be sick of it!

And this will be good, that way I'll organize all the magazines from the previous months that are all scattered around the house ...

Susete asked me were I bought PaperWorks. I bought it here in Viseu. But they have a site and you can subscribe it.

I just want to add here, (I hope she doesn't mind!... ) that I love Susete's scrapbooking pages!
