Página de hoje!

2008-06-30T22:14:00.006-03:00

Página fresquinha, comecei e terminei hoje! Fazia tempo que não conseguia fazer uma página e terminar no mesmo dia, nunca dava tempo... Mas cheguei em casa e tinha um envelope lindo me esperando! Eram o chipboards novos da Dany Peres, amei!! Usei nessa página os alphas e o cartoon... Pintados com tinta, canetinha e relevo transparente rosa.
Usei também os carimbos novos que comprei na Casa da Arte, de notas musicais e de botão, amei os dois, são do Projeto Artes.

Obrigada por olhar! Deixem comentários!

Aula Anne com o Kiss de junho

2008-06-25T19:18:00.003-03:00

Semana passada, além da aula da Lari, fiz uma aula com a Anne no ateliê lindo dela. Usamos o Kiss de junho para fazer duas páginas que eu amei!

Viu, Anne, não dá nem pra ver que erramos o título! :)
Bom restinho de semana!

Aula Lari

2008-06-23T22:12:00.004-03:00

Amei a aula da Lari no sábado, fiquei até cansada de fazer tanto scrap! Projetos lindos e super elaborados. Não consegui terminar nenhum na aula, sou super lerda, mas terminei no final de semana mesmo, só falta o mini de tela. Aí estão! (deixei as fotos em tamanho original, então pra ver melhor, é só clicar em cima delas)

Das duas, essa foi minha página preferida! Toda colorida, mil texturas, camadas, papéis lindos! Logo posto o mini prontinho também!!

Feriado produtivo

2008-05-25T19:41:00.002-03:00

Esse feriado foi produtivo, fiz várias páginas. Vi dois filmes: Iron man e O melhor amigo na noiva, os dois legais, mas Iron Man é o melhor, muito bom!

Vi também o final de temporada de vários seriados: Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl, House... Que pena, agora só em agosto!

My three Gs

2008-05-22T20:49:00.002-03:00

Gossip Girl: I hated the season finale. Am I the only one? I hate when writers just add people or change the story out of the blue. Like the last episode ever of Dawson's Creek. I hated it. Such a disrespect with fans.

Grey's: is on tonight!!! Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait! I heard there's gonna be a lot of kissing. Don't know what I'm gonna do without it until August. Guess I'll have to watch reruns.

Greek: it's silly and I love it. I just finished watching season 1 and can't wait to start season 2. It's so entertaining and addictive.

Ok, off to watch House's finale!

Novas!!

2008-04-27T22:13:00.002-03:00

Tenho feito bastante scrap ultimamente, acho que fazer várias aulas me ajudou a ter inspiração!
Esse aqui fiz inspirada em um desafio do livro We dare you:

Esse fiz com uma foto da minha mãe que eu adoro!!

E esse último fiz com uns adesivos de umas fotos que eu mandei imprimir no Moo:

Hoje ganhei MUITAS coisas novas de scrap como vocês podem ver nas primeiras fotos!! Deve sair coisa nova logo logo!

Aleatórias...

2008-04-18T23:07:00.002-03:00

Estou viciada em Twitter, dá pra ver minhas atualizações aí do lado -->
Mal posso esperar pros meus seriados preferidos voltarem no final do mês: Grey's, House, Gossip Girl... Enquanto isso vou assistindo Greek e The Hills.
Nada como 2 feriados seguidos! :) Abril é um mês bom...

Fiz uma aula com a Anne e a Maísa sábado passado e amei!! Andava meio sem inspiração, mas aquela aula me fez ficar super inspirada, já fiz uma página no meio da semana, depois coloco aqui. Não posso mostrar os projetos da aula porque elas vão dar essa aula em Porto Alegre, mas assim que puder, coloco! São lindos, lindos!!

Vou lá fazer mais umas pagininhas..! Bom feriado a tod@s!!

E por aqui...

2008-04-07T21:04:00.003-03:00

Uma correria só, como sempre. Postando mais pra mostrar pro Rô como andam as coisas por aqui... Rô, saudades!
As comidas que você perdeu, e além disso tinha churrasco e mil doces e bolos. Adivinha o que foi o almoço e janta de todo mundo no dia seguinte? hehehe!
Ah claro, não podiam faltar as afro-descendentes mentalmente perturbadas!! A Mila com seu novo cell phone. E os aniversariantes do mês! Hehehe :D Beijos Rô, vou tentar colocar fotos sempre, tá?? Mas quero ver fotos suas no flickr também!!

On the road

2008-04-07T18:55:00.001-03:00

Hit the Road, Jack!

Onde eu gostaria de estar... Mas logo, logo. :)

Tired

2008-03-14T22:25:00.002-03:00

Cansada, demais.
Esse blog é feio, quero um blog bonitinho pra postar, quem sabe eu não posto mais frequentemente daí.
Ai, abril chega logo. Final de março/abril é a melhor época, e vem coisa boa por aí..!

Nada melhor do que não fazer nada...

2008-02-20T19:48:00.002-03:00

Uma correria, mas muito boa. Queria um tempinho pra sentar e fazer scrap, apesar de fazer um tempinho que eu não me sinto muito inspirada. Ai, que agonia ver todos os sites de kits de scrap lá nos EUA e não poder comprar, porque sai super caro e porque demora pra chegar...
Tenho várias idéias de journaling e de albuns, e nenhuma de como começar... Hehehe.

Heroes e House

2008-02-09T14:41:00.000-03:00

Yay!! Agora posso assistir Heroes e House na tv!! Com a NET, vem o canal Universal!! Uhuuuu! :)

Novas páginas

2008-02-06T20:38:00.000-03:00

Algumas páginas que fiz no feriado...

:)
Boa semana curta!

Moo + Flickr

2008-01-28T20:15:00.000-03:00

Quem tem flickr deve conhecer o Moo, site que revela fotos do Flickr em formatos de cartões de visita, adesivos, marcadores de livro, cartões, etc. Bem legal.
Pedi esses adesivos e chegaram hoje! Adorei!

Páginas novas!

2008-01-27T10:06:00.000-03:00

Esse feriado foi produtivo! Algumas páginas novas:

Pro desafio do blog Overlooked.

Pro desafio da Ashley Wren.

E uma aleatória...

Obrigada por olhar!! :)

Juno e mini de Natal

2008-01-25T12:50:00.000-03:00

Finalmente terminei meu mini de Natal! Cliquem nas setinhas pra ver todas as páginas...

Amei essa música do filme Juno. E amei o filme.... Perfeito!

All Good Things...

2008-01-21T17:23:00.000-03:00

Formada, com um futuro todo pela frente e nenhuma certeza do que fazer...

Ultimamente eu tenho lido mais blogs de scrap do que feito scrap, e tenho comprado mais coisas do que feito. Preciso mudar isso, ano novo, vida nova, certo?
Por isso, tô acabando meu mini de Natal, quem sabe termino a tempo de postar no Scrapdiary.

Bom, algumas fotinhos, que explicam mais do que eu poderia...
Estou formada, e passando pela crise pós-faculdade e pós-formatura. Muitas dúvidas, incertezas, etc.
E a segunda foto são as meninas que fizeram esses quatro anos valerem a pena e serem tão bons... E duas delas foram pra bem longe... Saudades.

Bom, vou atualizar isso aqui com mais frequência, agora que não tenho mais a faculdade nem o TCC pra me deixarem completamente sem tempo...

Férias!

2007-12-17T21:53:00.001-03:00

E sapatos novos!!! Tão lindoooos! Fiquei andando com eles aqui em casa mesmo, de pijama, hahaha. Que dia bom, sapatos novos, scrap... Fazia tempo que eu não fazia uma pagininha, culpa do TCC... Hehehe.

Finalmente, férias! Natal, Ano Novo... Daqui a pouco formatura!

Favoritas...

2007-12-03T22:03:00.001-03:00

Primos à beira da piscina. Falta-me tempo, mas algumas fotos favoritas que depois do dia 10 (dia de entrega do TCC) vão virar páginas de scrap...

Domingo cedo, cantando músicas velhas at the top of our lungs!

Donavon Frankenreiter na Oca. Poucas coisas são tão perfeitas quanto uma música que você ouve no repeat diariamente e finalmente tem a chance de ouvir ao vivo...

Road trip no meu aniversário :)

Brooklin Bridge

2007-10-18T19:51:00.000-03:00

Usei todas as coisas que eu comprei na feira! As letras de chipboard da Les Babioles, fita da Scrappin' Up, papel da Les Babioles também (eu acho).

Just a quick, simple one. Used all the stuff I bought at my latest shopping spree at the scrapbook fair.

School is overrated

2007-10-18T12:39:00.000-03:00

Não fui trabalhar hoje. Gastrite, falta de sono e dor de cabeça me impediram. E pior que eu sei que daqui pra frente vai ser assim. TCC, trabalhos, trabalho e final de ano. Odeio. Não vejo a hora de pegar o meu diploma.

I didn't go to work today. Gastritis, lack of sleep and a headache kept me home. And from here on is downhill. Thesis, school work, work. Hate it. It's driving me insane. Can't wait to graduate and have a good night of sleep.

My American accent

2007-10-11T20:42:00.000-03:00

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

I've been MIA. I know. Things have been hectic, I can't barely sleep because I wake up in a rush like "Oh my god, I have so much stuff to do, I shouldn't be sleeping". But I took guilty time to scrapbook a few pages.

I like that they're really bright and fun. I miss those times.

Another couple of pages

2007-09-09T11:12:00.000-03:00

Couple more pages for my Oswego album. I didn't worry much, I was just playing when I did those. They're really simple and fun.
Well, have a good Sunday everyone, I'm off to my aunt's where we're having lunch and then I gotta prepare my seminar for tomorrow's class.

Good food improves my mood

2007-09-06T13:55:00.000-03:00

I was cranky the whole morning because of my freaking ugly braces. I was cranky and I didn't to smile not to show them. But then we went to this really good natural place for lunch and I totally stopped being cranky. I was actually holding myself not to smile. It was hard.
For 14 reais (which is like 7 dolars) you can eat all you want. Or all you can. I ate salads, soy meat, lasagna, ice cream, juice... Mmmm, so good! I want to go back there!
:)

Hectic

2007-09-03T19:34:00.000-03:00

Sometimes working is really boring, and it gets in the way of relaxing and just chillin. Today we had a really long meeting, which made me stay late. Bummer.
Anyway, the good thing is that this week I don't have classes, only on Thursday. So tonight I get to chill and watch TV, cinema on Wednesday, and Friday's a national holiday. Oh, life is good, sometimes, too!
Oh, there's this scrapbook contest here in Sao Paulo and I'm entering, hope I get to the finalists!
Gonna work on my page this week!

What lies ahead

2007-08-26T20:59:00.000-03:00

(click on the pics to make it bigger)
Poopsies. I like that pic, it's so funny, your faces!
The other one is probably my favorite page so far, it's got all my favorite stuff: stamps, paint and Hambly. It's kinda messy, probably why I like it. And I like the pic of me walking. It almost represents me today: kinda messy, going somewhere, but I don't know exactly where. With graduation coming, I have no idea where I'll be in a few months. So uncertain, but I'm excited more than I am scared.
I miss having time to scrapbook, though. And to just chill.

This is happiness to me

2007-08-12T18:49:00.000-03:00

Lots of paint in all colors and stamps, lots of them! I've been having so much fun scrapbooking that I'm at work and I feel anxious about playing with all my stuff. Or I'm in the middle of class and I can't wait to get home to play. Except, I can't. I'm working 9 to 6 everyday and, don't get me wrong, I love it. It's just the perfect place, nice people, in the area I want to work and all. But then after work I have to go straight to class, and THAT sucks. Class totally sucks! Except for Friday night classes, it sucks. And I don't have the time to read and prepare for class. I can't wait to graduate!!! It is just so much! I miss having time. I don't have time to cut my hair, do my nails or even see friends, sometimes. I can't wait to graduate!! But I still got six loooooooooong months ahead of me. That's why I got this cute notebook, and did the cute tabs, to see if I get inspired to study, or just to hang in there.

Other than that, I try to scrapboook every free time I get (which means weekends) and these are a couple of pages I made. Those remind me of good times. Gee, life was good and easy back then. I just love soho, I could totally live there. And that night at the Karaoke was so much fun!
Alright, be back with some more later.

Harry Potter

2007-07-12T10:03:00.000-03:00

I watched it!!!!!!!!!!! It was the premiere last night and though we decided to go a day after because it would be less crowded, we just couldn't wait! Well, I couldn't. I got there at 8pm for the 9:30 exhibition! So geek! But it guaranteed us the best place, so it was all worth it!
Gosh, the movie is SO good! I can't believe it! But it went by way waaay too fast! I could sit there for another two hours!!
Now I can't wait for the book, and of course I'll want to watch it again! Hehehe.

These make me happy!

2007-07-04T20:37:00.000-03:00

These are my cupcakes!!! I think they're pretty good for my first try ever. I had a little help from my mom, but for the most part, I did it! :) The icing was especially good, so yummy and sweet! Next one I'm gonna try to make is the Red Velvet one, and them I'll try playing with different icing colors and tastes.
In the picture you can't see it, but they are not the size of a regular cupcake. We couldn't find they actual tray with the little holes, so just did them smaller. They're mini-cupcakes! I ate like ten of those already! So much for the spa. It goes without saying. Haha.

Cupcakes and Red Velvet

2007-07-03T11:24:00.000-03:00

I was watching What About Brian last night and the two girls own a cupcake shop. Now, I never been a fan of cupcakes, but last night I was craving one so bad! All the cute icings and decorations, in all colors possible! I want it so bad! But unfortunately, cupcakes don't exist in Brazil, it's just not a tradition, and I don't know any place where they make them.
And then after that came Grey's Anatomy, the episode where they are trying wedding cakes. And they pick the Red Velvet Cake. Now, we don't have Red Velvet either! I never even tried it, but it looks so yummy!
So I googled it and found the perfect match: Red Velvet cupcake!!! I'll try to make it tomorrow, let's see if anything good comes out of it... I don't even know if we have all the ingredients!

Weekend and some pics

2007-07-02T13:40:00.000-03:00

This photo is from the spa! So relaxing, I love to just lay in these things and swing until I fall sleep!

Weekend was really busy. On Friday we ended up going to this bar/club but it wasn't that good, we just had fun 'cause all of us were there. On Saturday, though, we went to this club called Clash which is huuuuge and good music was playing. We were dancing all night long until 6 am, then we went to a diner to burgers as breakfast. Before the club, though, we went to this typical Brazilian party called Festa Junina with lots of typical food, music and games. The best part about being June/July and cold is going to these parties. You can find one every weekend! And the food is just delicious.
On Sunday we had our traditional Sunday lunch out. Went to this churrascaria (a place where the waiters keep bringing all kinds of meat and you eat all you can) to celebrate my cousin's graduation. Can't wait for the graduation party in August!! :)

Back home

2007-06-29T17:43:00.000-03:00

I barely came back from the spa and I already miss the nature and the peace & quiet. Traffic noise annoys me, pollution annoys me and the sound of the telephone ringing annoys me. I was never too much of a fan of phones, I just hate the sound of them ringing. But Paolo Nutini is my ringtone now, so it's not so bad.
Laure sent me an e-mail that cracked me up. Need to send her something.
I guess we're going out tonight for somebody's birthday. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

Going on a little vacation...

2007-06-25T11:57:00.000-03:00

I'm going away for a week, for some spa holiday, hihi.
Hope to lose some weight, read a lot and get some scrapbook pages done.
You all take care and have a great week!

Freelancer!

2007-06-21T15:44:00.001-03:00

Yay! Tomorrow I don't get to sit around all day! I got some freelancer job! They need some help at my friend's job to set up for an event next week, do follow-ups, that kind of office stuff. Boring, yeah. But it pays, and it keeps me busy. And better something than nothing. So yeahhhh, I couldn't be more excited to wake up at 7 am! Haven't done that in so long!
And then afterwards we have to work on our thesis (for graduation). That means hanging out, eating and chatting. All the girls are going, yay :)
T.G.I. Friday!

Wedding and palindromes

2007-06-20T17:57:00.000-03:00

This last Saturday was my cousin's wedding and all my family from the Northeast of Brazil was here. That kept me busy! We would take them to parks, museums, restaurants, etc. All things they don't have up there and we do. All things big cities have instead of landmarks and beautiful landscapes. We basically drove a lot and ate a lot. Traffic is insane here.
The Wedding.
It was so gorgeous. It was beautiful, my cousin was beautiful, I loved her dress. The buffet decoration was the most beautiful I've ever seen. All in pinks and browns. And every little detail worked together. (Oh yeah, the candies were sooo good). We had too much fun! Took too many pictures! Hehehe. It was so much fun that by the end lights were on and we were still dancing and drinking, we didn't want to leave.
Now they're in Paris for their honeymoon, how cool is that? I want to get married! Hihihi.

Now on to the palindromes. Sus, the most famous one (I think) and the only one I know by heart is: Socorram-me, subi no ônibus em Marrocos. It means "Help me, I got on the bus to Morocco". Cute, right? Here's another one "Ame o poema" which means "Love the poem". Even cuter.
I found this list, take a look: http://br.geocities.com/site60aki/palindromos.html
Have fun!
I also found those two in English, have u seen these before?
"Cigar? Toss it in a can, it is so tragic"
"Madam, I’m Adam"
Hihihi love those!

Scrapbooking

2007-06-15T16:26:00.000-03:00

As Patty would say it, I've been playing with my scrapbook lately...
I am doing the Oswego album. Since it was a whole semester, it's probably gonna take me a while 'till I finish, but here are some pages I've done so far.
This one is about the Lake Ontario.

Just a detail.

This one has a list of songs that remind me of Patty. The ones she used to play frequently.

This is for Susan and Patty's 21st birthday!

This is about SUSHI!! Hahaha, actually, it's about the best meal we had there (considering we ate at Cooper everyday...).

Hope you enjoyed it!

Some pics to get this started...

2007-06-12T00:19:00.001-03:00

This is just part of my (big) family. It was last Sunday when we went to this restaurant where they have all kinds of food. Lots of food, actually. And you can actually buy any furniture in the restaurant. It's kinda outta town, but totally worth the trip. It was a nice sunny Sunday. :)

This was last Friday at a bar where we had a happy hour due to the holiday (Thursday and Friday). The extremely cold weather is gone and now we're back to 60s winter! Fuck yeah! :) So nice out. Oh, this is Ce, me and Miguel.

This is me and four of my best friends. They were the ones I missed the most when I was gone. From left to right: Ce, me, Fe, Pri and Carol. In this pic we were at the graduation barbecue two Saturdays ago. It rained the whole day and it was chilly but that didn't stop us from dancing and laughing and drinking. By the end of the day we were soaked to the bones.

Starting this

2007-06-12T00:02:00.000-03:00

Alright, I always had a blog for as long as I can remember (since I was 14 if I remember well) and I went through all those phases: blogging a lot, not blogging at all, etc. But this time is for a special reason: to keep in touch with loved Oswego people.
I'll try to post what life in Brazil has been like and what I'm up to. Some pictures, songs and scrapbook pages too!
Oh, another thing: hey Susan! :) This is for you! Hope you like it.
