Happy Girl

2010-09-01T15:28:00.000-07:00

This is my lovely nice. She does not like people touching her hair much. Actually she doens't like it at all. Her hair is so cute and I wanna, because I wanna it, to make it curly in the ends.... So, she made the effort it and allowed me to play with her hair a little bit... Not for too long though, but she was pacient and Kind.... I guess because she doesn't see me often, so I could do whatever I want it...hahah.

Of course we had a photoshoot for that, that was the fun part!!!

Oh, how the hair ended up? Not curly at all, her hair is really thin.... But I had good intentions right?

Miss you "minha perereca"

Love,

Olimpia

U are my number one

Hurricare with Volcano

2010-08-30T18:22:00.000-07:00

Hahahha... I don't post for so long and today 2 posts already and one with a Scrapbook page.

People watch out, we probably are going to end up with an hurricane followed by a volcano explosion....

But seriously, today after my post in Portuguese, which will remain like that, I got an email for a very special friend (Dri Noleto) which lifted my spirit and I finally decided to get out of my limbo.

So here it is, my sweet niece Tatiana, cute as usual.

Papers: My little shoe box - Cute as a botton line,

Some Martha Stewart label stickers, Martha Stewart lace punch. Its a new one that I just got last week at Michaels. Super cute.

Hope you like it.

XOXO

Thank you

Sem mais desculpas... ou talvez muitas....

2010-07-30T12:29:00.001-07:00

Ok, ta bom, com bastante desculpas...
Todo mundo vive na correria entao essa nao sera a minha desculpa, na verdade eu acho que eu nao sei a desculpa ou nao quero encarar a desculpa. O fato e, sumi mas to viva....
Eu sempre venho aqui no meu blog para ler as noticias de voces, mas egoistamente nao coloco nada sobre mim....acho que estou vivendo naquele momento onde nao se tem muito a dizer porem muito a se gritar... Enfim , nao quero post melancolico nao.
Estou bem, porem sem animo algum de sentar e voltar a fazer scrap. Na verdade sou colecionadora de material ne, isso todo mundo que me conhece bem ja sabe.... A desculpa e a mesma...falta de tempo, mas sera? Se eu tenho tempo de sentar aqui e ler noticias porque nao tenho tempo de pelo menos comecar algo que gosto tanto.... sei la eu... essa vou deixar para o meu psicologo explicar e garanto que nao vou gostar da resposta... hahahaa
Enfim, aqui esta tudo bem, na mesma vidinha de sempre. Casa, trabalho, trabalho, casa. Eu mudei se setor no meu servico e agora trabalho no setor de Qualidade. Nao e ruim nao, mas muito cansativo fisicamente falando e aqui o povo trabalha pelo amor de Deus, 50 horas na semana e o meu normal.

To sentindo bastante saudade do Brasil, saudade dos meus pais, saudade de sentar na praia e nao fazer nada, nao me preocupar com nada. Igual nos tempos onde ia com a minha melhor amiga para a praia e a gente so sabia era ficar sentada na cadeirinha, ler um monte de revista, livro, olhar os gatinhos e so curtir a preguica. As vezes a gente nem conversava muito mas o silencio nosso ja era uma conversa e tanto. Saudades doida de voce minha irma postica!!! Que alem de tudo agora e a mamae mais linda desse mundo, To morrendo de vontade de ver vc gravida....
Meu marido esta na Florida agora com as criancas, ele tirou 10 dias de ferias para curtir o final das ferias de verao das criancas e se mandaram para a praia. Com isso a Dona Maria aqui teve qu ficar, porque ainda nao tenho direito a ferias e to curtindo uma solteirice ate que boa...hahaha
Devo ir ao cinema hoje, e dar uma passadinha na Barnes and Nobles para devorar minhas revistas e livros que tanto gosto.... Nao sei ainda o que ver.... Charles St. Cloud maybe.
Um filme que esta me intrigando e muito e sinto que tem muitooooo a ver com o que estou sentindo e um que ira lancar dia 13 de agosto e um com a Julia Roberts que se chama, EAT, PRAY and LOVE. Esse eu quero ver sem falta....
Gostaria de ter um monte de fotos para postar mas no momento to com preguica.... figure that huh? hehehe

Ah, deixa eu falar uma coisa, eu tenho recebido alguns emails onde voces tem me pedido coisas para vender. Gente eu parei mesmo de vender por enquanto. O frete e a demora na entrega estavam me matando e nao quero me prejudicar e nem a voces. Por isso nao estou vendendo mais nada. Como disse antes, nao e em definitivo, mas por enquanto essa e a minha decisao. Nao e nada pessoal nao ta bom.... E se eu nao respondi seu email, nao fica brava comigo nao, to lenta mesma para responder email.... Eu so entro mesmo no meu blog para ver as coisas legais que voces fazem e mais nada. Rapidinho mesmo. Hoje que resolvi sentar aqui e dar o ar da graca.

Sinto falta de voltar aqui e postar mais. Acho que ninguem mais me conhece. Gente me coloca na oracao de voces ai que quem sabe eu nao me animo a vida arteira de novo, pleaseeee...to precisando de uma injecao de 10 metros de animo.... heheh

Bom e isso, lenta porem aqui vivinha da silva e com saudades de voces.
Beijos
Olimpia

Senta que la vem historia....

2010-03-11T07:39:00.000-08:00

Nossa, tem um seculo que eu nao venho aqui …
Isso nem e novidade, todo mundo ja sabe que eu sumi do mapa mesmo. Por varias vezes pensei em vir aqui escrever algo, mas algo me impedia, nao sei o que era, preguica, falta de assunto, receio de ter que enxergar que a vida tava monotona mesmo….
Acho que de tudo um pouco, e um pouco de tudo!

Bom, vou tentar colocar algumas coisas que aconteceram desde o ano passado. Como alguns sabem eu fui para o Brasil em Setembro e fiquei bem uns 40 dias… Quase nao matei a saudade de ninguem, foi super corrido e super cansativo tambem. Depois o Mike chegou e ai que nao deu para fazer muita coisa mesmo, era mais ficar na vontade dele e tentar mostrar as coisas que ele nao conhecia, enfim…tudo!!!!

Ja esta prometido que na proxima viagem eu nao vou com obrigacao de nada, nada de curso, nada de vender nada….so curtir mesmo… Isso ja e sagrado…hehehe

Voltando a vida comecou a ficar meio chata… Pois e, chata mesmo…Sem emprego, um monte de caixa de mudanca para arrumar, um monte de ideias, e um monte de vontade de nao fazer nada e tudo ao mesmo tempo….hahaha. A vontade de ter ficado mais no Brasil estava me incomodando… Enfim, o tempo passa e a vida continua. Pouco menos de 1 mes depois ja estava trabalhando. Nada no meu ramo, mas era um emprego e ficar em casa sem dimdim nao da certo nao e mesmo? Bom, emprego complicado, muito stress, muitaaaa chateacao, muitaaaa gente ignorante, muitaaaa gente grossa e se achando… queria colocar em detalhes, mas nao posso, seria racismo e preconceito ate!!! Estava como gerente em retail..ou seja, lidar com cliente e funcionario ignorante….affffffffff um milhao de vezes…. Isso me consumiu bem uns 3 meses e meio.

Meanwhile, eu e mamis rezando muito para isso mudar, para conseguir algo no meu ramo, para melhorar e acalmar o coracao, porque tava mesmo muito dificil e a vontade de ir embora tava grande… Nao era a solucao, mas era uma fuga para o colo de mae e pai sabe…lugar seguro, teto seguro, cama quentinha, travesseiro cheiroso… Nao que eu nao tenha isso, mesmo porque sou eu quem lavo a roupa de cama…hahah…. Mas voces entendem o que quero dizer…. Tava precisando de paz, todo dia era um drama diferente, drama mesmo, sem exagero.

Bom, com isso eu fiquei 3 meses e meio trabalhando 6 dias por semana, chegando em casa fisico e mentalmente exausta, nao querendo fazer nada e tendo um monte de coisa para fazer ao mesmo tempo…. Um saco… Acho que o cansaco mental as vezes e mais dolorido que o fisico…
Nessa fui ando… ate que no final de fevereiro tive um problema serio com uma funcionaria…totalmente sem nocao… sem respeito, sem nada….e ate perda de tempo falar dessa pessoa tamanha a ignorancia da mesma… Liguei para o Mike e falei, se prepara porque nao vou ter mais emprego depois de hoje, vou pedir conta….ta ficando perigoso fisicamente falando…
Ele me pediu calma e pediu para esperar pelo menos a semana acabar.

No mesmo dia, por volta das 8 da noite meu telephone toca e uma amiga me oferece emprego na firma que ela trabalha. Nada ainda em Engenharia mas em uma firma onde a possibilidade de crescimento e grande e praticamente certa. Na hora disse que sim, e minha alegria maior era saber que iria pedir conta do hell onde estava…. Uma mistura de medo e ansiedade de sair daquele lugar logo….heheheh
Enfim, comecei no meu emprego novo no comeco de marco e ja me sinto 90% melhor do que antes. Ta, so tem 10 dias que estou aqui, mas o ar e outro (tem cheiro de salada….heheh…ja explico), as pessoas pelo menos ate agora mais educadas e com mais respeito ao outro. Estou contente, nao tenho do que reclamar, chego em casa cansada sim, de ter acordado super ultra cedo, mas com a cabeca tranquila. Ja sei e ja me avisaram que nao sera assim por muito tempo, mas uma coisa e ter stress porque o servico ta corridor, outra e ter stress por ter que lidar com drama de gente sem o minimo de educacao na vida… Prefiro o stress de muito trabalho…

Ahh… a salada…, entao, a firma e uma das maiores produtoras de salada dos EUA e fica aqui mesmo no Tennessee… Distribui salada para tudo quanto e restaurante, supermercado (WalMart), vendinha do tio Ze… e assim vai. Vamos com fe que a coisa ta melhorando.
Com isso, nao tenho feito nada mais de scrap, nada mais de nada…. Quero voltar, preciso, sinto falta, mas ainda estou me acostumando com o ritmo dessa empresa.
Fora isso esta tudo bem, o Mike fez 40 anos no final de fevereiro e fiz uma festinha para ele….hahhaah…ele tava todo em crise, por causa dos quarentinha….faz parte da vida… daqui a pouco eu chego la tambem…

O inverno aqui foi frio esse ano, tivemos pelo menos 2 semanas de neve, o que nao e normal at all aqui em Nashville… bem frio mesmo….

Ontem recebi meu primeiro pacote dos papeis novos de scrap que comprei…Nao sao muitos nao, porque estou 100% mais comedida com scrap, mesmo porque ainda tenho uma loja de scrap dentro de casa…hehehe, mas sao os novos da Sassafras e Cosmo Cricket. Ja pedi os papeis da Lizzie, Prima e nao lembro o outro, mas ainda nao recebi. Como comprei em pre-order demora um pouco para chegar, pago mais barato mas demora…

Vou tentar atualizar o blog o maximo possivel… e quem sabe ate com alguma coisa de craft …ummm… seria bom meu mojo voltar logo… ele anda tao sumidinho… to tentando achar ele…quem sabe o coelhinho da pascoa nao traz ele de volta para mim… ahahah….
A lojinha parou mesmo, por varios motivos…. Um deles e que eu nao tenho mais tanto dinheiro para investir em scrap, e o frete tava matando…ou melhor mata ainda. Infelizmente o mais barato dos fretes ainda e caro, e nao e taoooo seguro. Teria que comprar direto da fabrica para compensar o danado desse frete. Mas ainda nao e uma decisao totalmente definitiva, hahah, nada na minha vida e definitivo, entao vamos dizer que a loja esta on hold e sem tempo para re-abrir… hehehe…

Eu estou inscrita no curso que a Donna Downey esta organizando desde o ano passado e sera agora em Maio. Ainda nao tenho certeza se conseguirei ir ou nao. Acredito que eu nao irei conseguir por causa do emprego novo, teria que tirar 2 dias de folga e logo de cara nao iria ficar bem… mas de novo, tambem esta on hold… quem sabe algo muda…nao sei… Tem bastante aula legal no evento e so de passear no blog dela esses dias ja foi me dando faniquito so de pensar em NAO ir….ai meu Jesuis…

Bom gente, depois de uma vida estou aqui de volta, nao sei por quanto tempo, se definitivo, mas espero que sim…to sentindo bastante falta das minhas artes, do meu joumaling maluco e sem pe nem cabeca, de scrap, enfim de cores….
Beijos e ate mais

Que demora....

2009-12-15T22:03:00.000-08:00

Meu Deus como tem tempo que nao paro por aqui.

Bom, mal voltei para ca, e ja comecei a trabalhar. E com isso, nao tenho tido tempo para nada. Parece mentira mas e verdade, tenho trabalhado 6 dias por semana, e estou literalmente exausta.

Hoje cheguei em casa as 10h30 da noite e amanha as 7 ja tenho que estar no servico de novo. Enfim, coisas da vida certo. Nao to reclamando nao, apenas me explicando do porque do sumico. Estou morrendo de vontade de fazer scrap e nao fiz nada ate agora. Mal consegui colocar meus cartoes de Natal no correio.

E por falar em Natal, ele ja esta ai semana que vem nao?!!!!

Com isso a lojinha parou, e por enquanto vou dar um tempo mesmo. Nao ta dando para lidar com 2 trabalhos ao mesmo tempo.

Fora isso esta tudo bem por aqui. Frio pra caramba, nao como era em Pittsburgh no ano passado, onde nevava o dia todo, mas aqui e bastante frio, so que sem neve. Ta bom tambem....hehehe.

Espero que eu consiga me dedicar ao meu scrap e hobby logo logo, porque estou com saudades das minhas baguncas.

Beijos para quem veio me visitar aqui.

MUAH!

Thankful for:

2009-11-25T20:18:00.001-08:00

I am so thankful for:

- getting a job back and finally start dreaming again;

- being with my husband;

- knowing that my parents are well, healthy, and no major problems going on overseas;

- grateful for my health as well, 3 back surgeries is not for everybody;

- getting my creativity "juice" flowing back to normal, or at least trying to...hehehhe

- feeling more useful and productive;

- being able to handle tough situations way better than before;

- thankful for my life!!!!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I want say Happy Turkey day for everybody and Happy Holidays. Let's get read for one more year to end and get read for another "new"and Happy new beginnings. New challenges, new inspirations, new opportunities.

I've been thinking a lot about opportunities and this new year I really want to do something different, not for myself, but for others. I wanna help, I wanna get out of my shell and give some hope, some happiness to others people. I am thinking a lot about that lately, and all the jingle bell songs hiting on my head lately, is making me realize more and more, that this X-Mas I would like to get out of my confort zone, and really do something for the first time ever. Fingers crossed!

Also, as this friday is Black Friday, go check it out my Blog sale. It is just this Friday ok people! Sale, sale, sale....

I haven't been able to scrap much this week, but I already said to hubby that this weekend I am going to be selfish and spend some ME ME time. Hope something nice come out from there...heheh

Oh, this picture that I attached I found at Etsy. I cannot remember who did it, but isn't the cutest flowers ever? Remember those edge scissors that we have a long long time ago? So, I believe that now you may have a use for them.... I love it.

Love,

Olimpia

Just an update of my life

2009-11-23T08:31:00.000-08:00

Hi all,

Just a heads up on what is going on here.

I came back to work last week, and pretty much thungs are getting busier here. Not my dream work, but I guess not of us have one... well, at least most of us, don't have it. Hehehe

But not complaining, in fact I am glad I am back on business again.

So pretty much that is what I have been doing lately, working, working on the Kits for the store, taking care of the house. I haven't been scrapping or creating anything lately but I am craving that so much. Yes, craving like an ice cream too...hahah

These days are getting colder and at night we are getting pretty much closer to 32F, which already makes me believe we are almost in DECEMBER. OMG time flies and really fast. I have no big plans for X-mas or nothing this year. Let's see how it goes...

So, this post is a quicky one...

Love,

Larissa Albernaz Layouts

2009-11-18T22:07:00.000-08:00

Those are some of Larissa's Albernaz LO's that she made for my little Scrap Kit Store called Olimpia's Closet.

So far, I am selling Kits for my friends in Brazil, but if you have interested to buy some of them, keep in mind that they are one of a kind. Justsend me an email (olimpiahunt@yahoo.com)and I'll let you know all the details for prices and shipping here in US.

So, this first LO Larissa used some of the papers from this Kit .

The kit does not have all of the itens she used. I am going to put one kit together the way it is here. But, for now you can have an idea.

This page she used some of the materials from this Kit.

Again this kit does not have all of the itens she used.

For this page, I am going to post the Kit tomorrow, and I'll update here. Basically the Kit has Prima papers, which I absolutelly love. So adorable.
This LO has the paper from this collection:

Isn't she unbeliveable or what?

Thanks so much Larissa for your great and awesome. It is always a pleasure to see your LO's.

So, today this post is basically to show Larissa's work. I'll come back later with everyday news...

Love,

Kits novos!

2009-11-18T18:24:00.000-08:00

Gente estou atualizando o blog com Kits novos (http://www.olimpiahunt.blogspot.com)
Acho que viro a noite fazendo isso...hehehe
Tem muito detalhe....
Qualquer duvida, so deixar um recadinho com o seu email que eu respondo ta.

Finally some scrap

2009-11-16T15:02:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I did this two pages. This first one is called " It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas", and in fact it is. Everywere we go, it is already green, red and white. It is nice, but at the same time kind of sad. I wish bad I could be during X-mas with my family in Brazil. This picture it is me a long long time ago. I like it, and it was sitting in my desk so I used without thinking twice.

This year I really want to have a white tree with only blue and silver x-mas balls. I hope I can do it. I saw some really nice stuff on sale today at Hobby Lobby. Oh money money... always a issue...heheheh

This other page I used all Making Memories paper. I was drooling a while for those papers and I finally found them on sale. It is me and Mike at Embraer's X-mas party in 2007. That was a nice party, we had so much fun there... way too much...hahahah

I gotta go back on track on Scrap again. I felt lost doing those pages. I want it one thing and this is what I came out with. Hahaha... Anywho, I'll keep practicing.

My problem is that I see so many nice stuff to do, and I want to do everything... then I get lost. Hehehe... Too much options around I believe.

Hope you enjoy,

Love

One nice frase I read somewhere that I cannot get out of my head today is:

Home is always where YOU are!!!!

Good weekend. Good Thanksgiving and Awesome Black Friday....Hahaha

Some Journaling and some mess

2009-11-15T21:55:00.000-08:00

This two pages belongs to my first journaling book ever. So, I was just throwing things on the page and trying to make something. I like it, but is too busy. I'll leave this way. Someday I might understand better why I choose those pics, and so on. This is something really cool and funny to do. Relaxes me, I just fly away in my imaginary world and cannot think of anything else at all. Feels so good. Even though does not look that good for me, it is part of a process.

This page I actually started taking more "serious". I mean I started using good material, and it makes a lot of difference. The colors blend way better, easier to work. I am using Fabriano Watercolor Papers, Golden Acrylics, Caran D'Ache Watercolors, Copic Sketch and of course a lot of magazine materials. I did not journal yet, because I still don't feel secure enough with the lettering. I'll practice in a different paper for a little bit and start on those.

This is my crazy girl, sort of a "bitch"and soft person at the same time. She wants good things, but as you can see, she needs support and need to hold herself and something else. I don't know why the car is there, hehehe. I gotta figure out.

I know that all of this kind of art we tend to use things that call our attention and I believe I need a good pyschologist to analyze this...

What I tried to do here was to have fun and looks good for me.

Mike asked me if I was feeling Ok when I finished that....hahahahah

That's my half and half girl. Cannot explain her that well. I just know that she likes tea and she says: -" Take a bite out of life". Same thing needs journaling and I'll work on that this week.
Also I did 2 Scrapbook pages, so I will be showing them through the week.
Another updates:

- I watched three movies: Up (so cute); Ugly Truth (like but did not love it), and Obsessed with Beyonce (love it, suspense. Really good one)
- Went to interview again. Waiting for paperwork feedback. Sometimes people want you for yesterday and then when you say YES, takes foreverrrrrrrrrrrr... Oh well, keep enjoying my time.
- Ate Baby Ribs at Outback...so yummyyyyy...slurp....
- I cooked Brazilian Beans... me love it!!!! hehehe...

Another nice freebie by CD Muckosky - One hour layout.

It is not new, but still awesome!

http://creatingkeepsakesblog.com/2009/09/18/guest-blogger-cd-muckoskys-one-hour-layout/#comments

My wish list for today:

- Get Dina's class at Get It scrapped. All of her classes.

I guess that's it!
Come back tomorrow.
Love,

Kelly Rae video / Mocha's update

2009-11-12T10:40:00.000-08:00

Just take a look on this video and tell me if the world is much easier now? hahahha
I am again amazed by her ....

http://kellyraeroberts.blogspot.com/2009/10/playful-wingsa-video-time-lapse.html

Gente,

Da uma olhadinha neste video que a Kelly colocou no blog dela.
Eu fico aqui pensando em uma coisa... pinceis caros ein? pra que????
Da para se ter uma ideia e quem sabe se jogar para ver no que da....
Quem sabe nao....se jogar.

Beijos e obrigada pelas novas visitas. Eu ainda estou arrumando o blog e colocando meus novos links. Quando voce deixar um recadinho, coloque seu blog tambem para eu te linkar ta bom. Falta ainda bastante gente e bastante coisa aqui....

Mudando de pato para ganso, esqueci de comentar...
Nao que nao seja importante, mas meu doguinho fujiu...
Tem quase 2 meses isso.
Para mim ele sempre sera meu "tutuco"...

My dog ran away about 2 months ago. Darm it... I love him so much. Makes me sad to remember. He was the sweetest dog ever, but the dumbest dog ever as well. He knew how to ran away from the house, but never knew how to come back. Usually he stayed at the neighbor's yard and kind of waiting for somebody to rescue him back. This time, no Mocha anywhere. Loviu tuco!

Random facts of my life

2009-11-11T13:06:00.000-08:00

As part of my process of moving my butt and actually doing something towards my creativity process, here are some pics that I've been taking lately. Some I did during last weekend and some was yesterday.

I was driving last evening going to the bank and suddenly I see the sky. Isn't pretty? Thank GOD Iam a good driver. Took me some skills to drive and shoot at the same time. Opppssss did I say that out loud?
That's is what I call "action".
Everybody has those pictures that are out of focus, and blurry right? I decided to keep them and see the beauty behind that. I love it, that's what it matters. I'll probably print some of those and hang around the house.

Ohhh this time of the year is the picking leaves time....
I love the colors, the orange, yellow... I can't get enough of it. So cool. But.... also it means time to pick the leaves from your yard... Oh well, your husband pick the leaves out... heheh

This is my neighbor's tree. Love it. Actually I don't know this neighbor in person, but he has a nice tree in his yard.
This is my dead leaves yard...remember? picking the leaves?

Brigde close to home. I gotta tell you, I don't know why but I got a thing for brigdes....

Pittsburgh it is packed of them.

This is Old Hickory. Another ohhhh...

Did I mention that sometimes I have some "I love myself" times.

Oh well, I guess I had one these days. Kind of liked...

Ok, Halloween is over and I don't have to do this face anymore.... heheh
Oh by the way, this Halloween ,after we drop the kids off, Mike and I went to "Death Valley Haunted Woods". It was so cool. This is a Haunted wood Valley totally dark that you walk through. Men it is scary... I had to have a short talk with some of them inside that thing, and boy, they freak the hell out of me!!!! I knew they were all fake, but at the same time they were real. They were chasing me, not Mike...wonder why?

One of the guys got so close to me, that I actually told him...hey don't kiss me 'cause my husband will be jealous and kick your "ask"...hahhah. His answer(the monster answer): - " I don't care about your husband...

That part was funny. Not all the parts were funny.

The end of the night, we ended up walking on that "nice house", which is actually not a house, some sort of terror movie in the freaking cold night, for more than an hour, our shoes all muddy, and our soul and body happy for actually being free for once in a while. I felt like a Kid...

Was the best Halloween ever. Love it thousands of times. Thanks Hubby!

Talking about kick your ask:

Watch this...so freaking funny. I love this little girl:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fA0g2nSGw4

I'll finish this post with my nice face above.... hahahahuahahahha....

Journal

2009-11-11T12:12:00.000-08:00

This is the journal I've talked about.

I started this with no idea at all what I was going to do, or even how to start it. Let me tell you a quick story. Latelly I've been feeling quite anxious or let me put this way, out of my own place. I don't exactly know why is this all about, but this is how I feel. So, everytime I feel anxious, I got stuck. Yes, literally I cannot do anything. I have thousands of ideas and cannot execute any of them. I keep walking around in circles, and no energy or courage to do nothing. As I am getting more relaxed I stop thinking that much and put things in execution.

I am kind of a person that does not plan much. It is a big NO NO sometimes, but I actually don't plan much on things. I just do it. (let me clarify something... sometimes I feel like I am 1/2 and 1/2. I am really good on planning and executing work things, but my personnal life, I leave the flow to take care of...or maybe I should say the emotions....being guarded by my angels...)

So, I started this journal with no clue at all what to do. I knew that I had a thousand of millions pieces of paper in from of me, more zallions things to work with, and then I started...

Still not finish and I am still working in my ideas. I realize that I work better when I sort of have people around me. Not actually interacting with me, but around. My hubby is addicted to Farmville and all the "illes" at Facebook, and while he is palying in the computer I feel compeled to be around him, but in my own world. I like it that way, so we are together and not doing the same things.

I still gotta work on the journaling part, and as I am new on that I keep searching for some inspiration on the net...and boy...let me tell you...there are at least three people that I'd like to mention here that really rocks my world. Of course, I am not being fair saying there are three good ones, but are the ones that really inspire me right now. Let's put this way. I'll be always mentioning what calls my attention. So I hope you enjoy as well.

Here are they:

Teesha is posting lately some instructional videos and explaining in details how does she create, everything. I was amazed by her generosity on doing that, and is really imformative. I love it, and I am always in love for her work.

Michelle LaPoint - I've been following her blog for a while and she really improved a lot. I love her bright colors. I feel happy when I see her work.

Also I am attending two online classes with Paulette Insall. She is amazing and I am way behind on that since the class started when I was in Brazil. That's why I like on-line classes...

I had a class with her during Inspired, and I was amazed by her. She is really a nice person, and I just loved the fact I could actually paint a face and such a pleasant way. It worth it!!!

Well, well, well... my first post in this new blog.
As you guys can see, still need a lot of work. I have an idea how it will be, but slowly I'll put things together.
So far, so good. My last post at Olimpia's Closet I mentioned that I needed colors right?
I moved my butt up and start taking pics. I simply carry my camera with me, and wherever I fell it is good, I snap a photo!
These two pics are kind "old". This year I went to the last CKU in Utah. Those are some random pics of the city. Let me tell you, those are the only two pics I have from there. Shame on me, I know....
What a like about this city is that we are surrounded by mountains and the airplane view...phew...really great. Maybe is that route I did on that day, but it was something pretty amazing.
Lots and lots of scrapbook store. A scrapbook feast! Heheh... Love it. Kid in a candy store.
Hope one day to go back just to check some more of the city.

Today's toughts:
- Why some people need, and I mean really need, to feel they are the poor people in the world? That everybody else around them is mean and they are the only ones that see good things around them? Stupid shit. Nothing big about this, but it is kind of annoying. Hope they grow up one day, or maybe find a good therapist...or psychiatrist? Whatever it may fit for them...

- I've been drooling about all this colors, pencils, markers, journaling techniques...so friggin cool. I'll share more in the next post.

For now, this is it. Let me go back to configure this blog properly.
Thanks for stopping by and welcome to my new space.
I haven't decided yet which language will be the most efficient here, so it will be my language mood of the day...heheh
