AS you may see, I changed the blog’s layout. I am in a phase of changes in my scrap life. Changing my style without knowing for sure where I am headed off to. So, I decided that a clean and plain white layout would do for now. I like white backgrounds as in my opinion it’s easier to read.

Anyway,I was going to update this blog right after my weekend off but like always I got sidetracked. As you may noticed, I was away from the blog lately. Who visits my DST gallery everyday and was used to see me browsing the gallery too, may noticed that I was away latelly. Well, of course there is an explanation for that. I can’t say much yet, but i can give you a great hint:

That’s the reason I’ve been away I promise to be back soon

How are you all?

Everything is fine here. I am enjoying being a little away from the  digiland and watching the Olympic Games on TV. I am not feeling very inspired to create my pages so that’s why i enjoy my time in front of the TV!LOL

Tomorrow I am going to the beach with hubby and Max! YAY Finally!!! The weather is awful, raining and cold, but I really don’t care!! All I wanna do is get away from this city and relax, relax and relax. Max is not 100% well yet, his stomach is still a little weird but i think he’s getting a little  better each day. I think he’ll have a blast in the beach!

I wasn’t going to take my laptop during this trip, but my hubby asked me to so we can follow the Olympics in case there is not enough tv channels in your tv room! LOL But i won’t take my EHD so I won’t scrap! Let’s hope that will not rain and I’ll be able to enjoy some outdoor time!

Tonight I am going to pack and then that’s it. Tomorrow i won’t go to work. Just to the beach! YAY! See you all on monday!

I am happy with my brand new Dell laptop! Now I have 4 gig of RAM and a great graphic card!!! YAY I confess that in the beginning I didn’t like my new laptop. I think I was not prepared to let my old one go! LOL Actually, my old one is not old at all and it’s a great laptop! My first laptop! You never forget your first! LOL But he is in good hands (hubby has it for him now!LOL) and I got used to my Dell. I confess there are some things I didn’t like in my Dell: the keyboard and the noisy fan. After complaining a little and think about returning it, I am now over it! LOl I am happy and got used to the keyboard and fan.

I also am happy to say that I’m finally going on vacation! YAY! I’ll be on vacation from september 9th to september 29th! I don’t know if I will travel or something, but I know I won’t be working! YAY

Besides that, this week was crazy. Max is a little sick of his stomach. The vet says he must got something when i took him to the park last weekend. That means: no more park for him for a long time! Poor little guy, he was shaking of pain last monday!!! It broke my heart! I am happy that i decided to take him right away to the vet! I took him because I thought he got a fever (the reason of the shaking ) but she told me right away that he had no fever. The shaking was because of the pain he was feeling in his stomach! I can only imagine a pain that makes you shake like that. She gave him a medicine right into the vein ( I hate those shots) and in a hour the pain was gone and he slept until the other day. Actually he got up a 8 pm to eat. I made him his chicken soup and he ate a lot and then went back to sleep!

Just finished reading the third book of the Twilight series. i won’t say anything about the book here because i don’t want to spoil it for who didn’t read it yet, but i must say something. My sister told me that by the end of the book i would suddenly enjoy more Jacob and would want to read the second book again. My point: I don’t like Jacob and i don’t want to read the 2 book again! LOL I need to vet about this book with someone! LOL

Ready for the Olympics? i can’t wait to watch the gymnastics! I LOVE it since I was a kid! Tonight I’ll watch the women volley! YAY

I’ll have some news for you all in a couple of weeks. just can’t talk about it noW!

I’ll be back with my pages later.

I`ll be away for the next month or so. I am really overloaded with tons of stuff to do, like, REALLY overloaded! There are so many things going on right now that I am kind of lost. I can`t find time to chat on msn like I always did, or just browse the DST galleries like I always loved or even make a layout a day as i always did since I first started scrapbooking.

Some time ago I heard about Jessica Sprague`s classes and since then I always wanted to take those classes. I waited for the advanced class to begin and signed up. Well, the classes started monday! Only now (4 pm of friday) i found time to OPEN my emails from Jessica`s course. And I have more tham 400 emails in mail gmail inbox. Really, this makes me sad because I was always well organized with my time and it really bothers me not having time to do all I want in a relaxed-non-stressing way. So, i decided I need to slow down. For the next 30  to 45 days i`ll be away from the blog and slowing down in the digiland too. I`ll not quit as this is something I LOVE to do and i have all my ct`s that I love too. Actually, i think I can’t live without scrapping. I will just slow down a little bit. I hope you all forgive me If I not praise your pages on DST or visit your blogs, but just know that it`s nothing personal! Just a matter of slowing down a bit. And i’ll try to at least visit your blogs, even if I don’t comment.

I decided that because I noticed that my body and my health are suffering with all this crazyness. I have an appointment with my doctor in the end of august (busy doctor who can`t see me before that! LOL) because I feel something is not right with me. I don`t know exactly what it is. There are some little things that I feel that I didn`t feel before. Like, i am ALWAYS tired. I am sleeping late everyday! I am feeling dizzy sometimes and even sick of my stomach. And no, Amanda and Ivana, I am not pregnant! LOL I have a lot of headaches too and i am putting on some weight really easily. Like I have to not eat at all to loose some weight, kwim? And I am sweating too, which I hate! Anyway, I think I must have an hormonal disfuction or something. And stress, of course. Who doesn`t feel stressed nowadays!? LOL

In the middle of august I`ll take a weekend off from everything. Going to a wonderful getaway weekend with hubby and max in a gorgeous beach! It will only be for a weekend but I can`t count the days to this weekend. i think i really need a vacation as the last one was 3 years ago!! since then I`ve been working straight taking only one week off last september when I went do Disney and got more tired there than being home here!LOL And I will not take my laptop or anything! I really intend to slow down and it means not laptop all the time!

I decided I’ll take a vacation in september. A REAL vacation. Like 15 days off . I intended to take this vacation only if hubby could take his at the same time but I thought about that and changend my mind becayse I really need it. So i am taking it anyway! It doesn’t matter if we can’t travel and I have to spend those 15 days inside my home in my pj’s all day! LOL The important is to rest.

First of all, I think we should celebrate! I managed to update wordpress from version 2.5 to version 2.6 all by myself! You had no idea how many times i had to try if until i really got! LOL I think i must be trying to update it for 3 months or so. Anyway, i just got this weekend! YAY So happy that i don’t have to see that alert telling me to update my wordpress version everytime I came here to post! LOL

Lately I’ve been focusing on photography. I am making some google researches to find a SLR camera to buy. I am all about improving my almost zero/nothing/terrible photography skills and the first thing is to upgrade my camera that it’s a simple point and shoot panasonic lumix. I love this camera but i have to agree that it doesn’t give me the same results I would get with a SRL camera. So, I am trying to decide which camera to buy. The brand will be Canon that it’s my favorite brand so far. I already had Nikon, Sony, canon and now Panasonic point and shoot cameras and Canon is the best in my opinion. The worst was definitely Nikon. I don’t know why but I could not get a single picture using no flash that wouldn’t be all blurry. So, for now i am between a Rebel XTi and a Rebel XSi. Any thoughts?

And, still talking about photography, I decided to buy some actions to improve a little bit my crappy photos. It came to my mind that I had saw some actions somewhere that would make the pictures looks like so cool: black and white and very sharp and bright and stunning! LOL I went to my kaboodle (i REALLY can’t live without it anymore) and saw there some of Nicole V. actions. Her actions were in my kaboodle for such a long time that i decided finally buy it.

WOW, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the actions! I bought 2 sets and although it’s a little pricey, it’s totally worth it. i bought the Essential Black and White pack and the Retro Pack. Check it out:

Retro Pack

You check this set and a lot more here on Nicole’s website.

Talking about spending money, I must say that I spent some more. I was tired of seeing my husband watching his baseball games (he signed up online for mlb.com online games and can watch all baseball games of this season through the internet. Really, he actually loves baseball more than soccer and that is really weird considering we live in BRAZIL! LOL) in a crappy desktop pc. He loves it so much and I didn’t like to see him struggling with our crappy desktop computer AND having to watch it alone in our home office. So, i went and bought a new laptop for us! YAY This way he’ll be able to actually watch the games in a good quality video AND be with me! LOL We bought a Dell’s laptop: Vostro 1510 and I can’t wait to get it! Two whole weeks before it arrives!

Changing the subject, I’d like to say I am sorry for not visiting your galleries lately. I’ve been really sidetracked lately and I get to the end of the day without having done all that I wished I had. Days are shorter and I am trying to spend the minimum possible time in my laptop and I am not browsing to the galleries (or anything scrapbooking related) when I am at work. Just trying to separate real life from scrapping life! LOL

And finally, the pages i posted since last time I updated the blog.

Portugês:

Em primeiro lugar, acho que deveríamos comemorar! Eu consegui atualizar o wordpress da versão 2,6e para a versão 2.6 sozinha!! Vocês não têm idéia de quantas vezes eu tive que tentar  até que eu realmente consegui! kk Eu acho que estou tentando atualizá-lo há uns 3 meses ou coisa assim. Enfim, eu só consegui esta semana! YAY

Ultimamente eu tenho me focado em fotografia. Estou fazendo algumas pesquisas no Google para encontrar  uma câmera SLR boa para comprar.  Estou empenhada em melhorar o meu quase zero / nada / terríveis habilidades fotográficas e  a primeira coisa para atualizar é minha câmera que  uma simples digital Panasonic lumix. Eu adoro essa câmera, mas sou obrigada a concordar que ela não me dá os mesmos resultados que  uma câmera SRL. Por isso, estou tentando decidir qual câmera comprar. A marca será Canon  que é a minha favorita marca até agora. Eu já tive Nikon, Sony, Canon e agora Panasonic  e Canon é a melhor na minha opinião. A pior foi definitivamente Nikon. Não sei porquê, mas eu não conseguia obter uma única foto sem flash que não fosse inteira tremida. Então, por agora estou entre uma Rebel XTi e um XSi. algum conselho?

E, ainda falando sobre fotografia, decidia comprar algumas actions para melhorar um pouco as minhas péssimas fotos. Lembrei que eu tinha visto algumas actions em algum lugar !LOL fFi para o meu kaboodle (Eu realmente não podem viver sem ele ) e vi lá algumas actions da Nichole V. Essas actions  estavam em meu kaboodle durante tanto tempo que eu finalmente decidi comprar.

UAU!! EU AMO AMO AMO as actions! Eu comprei 2 conjuntos e apesar de caro para nós que não recebemos em dolar, valeu a pena. Eu comprei o Essencial Black and White pack e o Retro Pack.

Falando de gastar dinheiro, devo dizer que gastei mais um pouco. Eu estava cansada de ver meu marido assistindo seu  jogos de baseball(ele se inscreveu para mlb.com online  pode assistir todos os jogos de baseball desta temporada através da Internet. Realmente, ele realmente ama mais  baseball que futebol o que é realmente estranho considerando que vivemos no BRASIL! LOL)  em um PC desktop. podre  Ele gosta tanto dos jogos e  eu não gosto de vê-lo lutando com o nosso computador podre  e ter que assistir sozinho em nossa  escritório. Então, fui e comprei um novo laptop para nós! YAY Dessa forma ele vai ser capaz de realmente assistir a jogos com uma boa qualidade de video e ainda ficar comigo! LOL Nós compramos um notebook da Dell: Vostro 1510 e eu não posso esperar pra ele chegar! Duas semanas!

Mudando o assunto, eu gostaria de pedir desculpas por não visitar as suas galerias ultimamente. Eu realmente ando meio enrolada, e quando vejo já acabou o dia e eu não fiz nada que queria. Os dias são mais curtos e estou tentando passar  o mínimo de tempo possível no meu laptop e não estou visitando blogs e nem galerias (ou qualquer coisa relacionada scrapbooking) quando estou no trabalho. Mas prometo que vou tentar me por em dia!

Cute or what?

Olá, meninas, estou de volta como prometido. Levei mais tempo que eu desejava, mas aqui estou.

Em primeiro lugar, antes que eu me esqueça, eu gostaria de dizer que o  feed  do blog mudou e é por  isso que vocês não estavam recebendo minhas atualizações por email. Agora o que vc tem que fazer é assinar novamente o meu feed e apagar o antigo. Eu adicionei o recurso de “assinatura por e-mail” também para aqueles que não usam um leitor de feed. Desculpe o transtorno, ok?

Bom, eu tenho algumas boas notícias antes de mostrar os meus los. Na semana passada fui contactada por Alice Koh. Ela é a dona  do primeiro jornal internacional  de digital scrapbooking  e você pode encontrá-lo aqui. Ela me perguntou se eu estaria interessada em escrever um pequeno tutorial sobre blendings. É claro que eu disse sim! Portanto, se você quiser verificar, basta clicar aqui e você será  redirecionado para a sessão do jornal onde está o meu tutorial. Que legal isso, né? Estou tão feliz Eu acho que é o meu primeiro tutorial ! Em Inglês é! Muito obrigado, Alice, por me dar esta oportunidade!

Como se a notícia anterior nao fosse boa o suficiente, eu tenho mais notícias. Eu não sei  se eu já disse aqui, mas estou  no ct da Lili. Ela é um amor e me convidou pro ct dela faz algum tempo. Pois bem, ontem ela lançou um novo MARAVILHOSO/PERFEITO collab. kit com a Kate Hadfield. O kit é maravilhoso e eu não consegui me conter e fiz uma página, logo que o kit terminou de baixar. Mas o mais legal disso tudo é que a Lili e a Kate mostraram minha página nos seus blogs!Nossa, não é legal?!? Já pensou ter uma página no blog da Lili e da Kate Hadfield? Eu estou tão feliz! Você pode dar uma olhada aqui e aqui.

E agora, chega de falação, vamos páginas. Apenas para lembrar, os créditos das minhas páginas estão nas minhas galerias, e vocês podem ver os links à direita aqui.

English:

Hello, ladies, I am back as promised. It took me longer that I wanted but here I am.

First of all, before I forget, I`d like to tell you that my blog feed changed and that`s why you were not getting my posts updates. So, all you have to do is to subscribe again to my feed and delete the old one. I added the feature of “subscribe by email”too for those of you who don`t use a reader. Sorry about the inconvenience, ok? But i had to do that becuase of the domain change.

Well, I have some good news before showing you my pages. Last week I was contacted by Alice Koh. She`s the owner of the first international digital scrapbooking newspaper site and you can find it here. She asked me if I would be interested in writing a little tutorial about blendings. Of course I said yes!!! So, if you want to check it out, just click here and you`ll be redirected to the session of the newspaper where my tutorial is. How cool is that?? I am so trilled!!! I think it`s my first tutorial ever! At english it is! Thank you so much, Alice, for giving me this oportunity!

As the last news weren`t enough, I got more awesome news. I don`t know if I already told here, but I am on Lili`s ct. She`s a sweetheart and invited me to her ct some time ago. Well, yesterday she released a new WONDERFUL/PERFECT  collab. kit with Kate Hadfield. The kit is awesome and I couldn`t help scrapping a page as soon as I downloaded the kit. But the sweet thing is that Lili and Kate showed my page in their blogs! How cool is that? I was so happy and proud! You can check it here and here.

And now, enough babbling, into the pages. Just to remember, the credits of the pages are in my galleries, and you can see the links on the right here.

Meninas, o post está em inglês mas não se preocupem que mais tarde eu volto com ele traduzido ok?

Sabem aqueles dias que você deveria ter ficado em sua cama? Ontem foi um desses dias. Eu levantei e percebi que  a minha casa tava uma bagunça, mas eu estava com tanta preguiça de arrumar a casa que eu decidi  não me estressar por causa disso e tomar longo e quente banho e lavar o meu cabelo. Eu levei tanto tempo, que quando percebi, eu já estava para trabalhar e eu ainda não tinha tido nem almoçar. Resultado? Sem almoço para mim! Eu peguei as chaves do carro e corri pra garagem do prédio. E tinha uma surpresa  me esperando lá. O síndico decidiu fazer algumas reformas na garagem e esqueceu de me avisar que eu tinha que tirar o carro de manhã cedinho. Todo mundo tirou seu carro para fora da garagem menos eu. O que  isso significa? Que eu tive que ir a pé para o trabalho! Nossa, eu odeio isso! O problema não é andar (apesar de eu não ser fã)  mas sim ir a pé para o trabalho! Eu chego lá toda  suada com o cabelo  despenteado quando eu deveria estar impecável, né? De qualquer forma, marido disse que iria me pegar no trabalho até ao final da tarde porque segundo os caras da reforma, tudo estaria pronto até o fim da tarde.

Como se tudo isso não fosse suficiente, eu estava indo para o trabalho com minhas botas  de salto alto, atrasada e suada, quando eu tropecei em alguma coisa (o que não sei! LOL) e caí no meio da rua! Eu sou tão desastrada e patética! haha Eu praticamente torci meu tornozelo , é claro!  Aff é tão típico de mim cair  no meio da rua. Então, lá estava eu: atrasada, sem o meu carro, suada, com o cabelo, despenteada , a roupa toda suja do tombo e um tornozelo torcido! haha

De alguma forma consegui me levantar e depois de algumas tentativas e algumas dores eu cheguei no prédio onde trabalho. Adivinha o quê? Esqueci-me do meu crachá em casa! Sério, o dia podia ser pior? hehe Eu tive que implorar para o  segurança me deixar passar e ele implicou porque como eu sempre vou para o trabalho de carro, entro sempre pela garagem do edifício onde é um outro guarda que fica lá e é óbvio que esse segurança não me conhecia. Depois de implorar ele deixou eu entrar.

o resto do dia foi normal, mas no último minuto da tarde o sistema caiu e eu não pude mais trabalhar! Pelo menos eu pude aproveitar pra escrever esse post pra atualizar este blog! LOL Quando a hora de ir para casa chegou eu recebi um telefonema do marido dizendo que o trabalho lá no prédio nao ficou pronto e eu vteria que voltar pra casa a pé! A sério? Pessimo dia! Pior que isso, só se começasse a chover no meu caminho para casa! LOL

Mas mudando o assunto, estou fazendo algumas mudanças aqui no blog. Minha amiga Amanda não consegue acessar meu blog, por algum motivo, de forma que ela me pediu para  eu assinar o feed do blog usando o e-mail dela, para que ela pudesse receber todos os meus posts em seu email e depois poder lê-lo. O fato é que eu acho (não tenho certeza) que o meu feed não está funcionando corretamente  porque a URL do feed que está no meu  FeedBurner é  do endereço antigo do blog; aquelecom o wordpress.com. Eu tentei editá-lo e mudar o link mas não consegui, então eu apaguei o feed. Na verdade, eu coloquei um aviso informando vocês  todos que o feed será desativado em 30 dias. Depois eu criei um outro feed com o novo endereço URL e estou esperando pra ser validado para que eu possa editá-lo e publicá-lo no blog. Cruzem os dedos aí porque eu nao entendo nada dessa coisa de feed! hehe

Mudando de assunto de novo, quando se está em muitos cts, como estou agora, você pode ficar louco! É algo tão legal mas ao mesmo tempo tão perturbador! Estou falando de  quando as designers lançam novos kits, ao mesmo tempo. Dá pra ficar louca!haha Neste momento tenho 4 novos kits para trabalhar. Melhor eu ir scrappear ao invés de ficar aqui!heheMas, realmente, não posso  me queixar! Eu AMO todos os meus cts e eu não posso viver sem eles. Isso é tão verdade que eu pedi pra  Vibeke me aceitar de volta no seu CT! LOL Estou tão feliz que ela aceitou! Não tenho intenção alguma  de ir em qualquer lugar a partir de agora! hehe

Mais tarde eu volto com os los que andei fazendo, ok? Também vou aproveitar para linkar alguams de vocês que estão faltando.

English readers:

Do you know those days that you should have stayed in your bed? Yesterday was one of those days. I got up  and realized my house was a mess but i was so lazy to do some cleaning that I decided to not stress about it and take a long and warm bath and wash my hair. I took so long that when i realized I was already late for work and I hadn’t even had lunch yet. Results? No lunch for me! I grabed my key car and rushed to the garage to go to work. Then i have a surprise there. People decided to make some construction work in the building’s garage and forgot to let me know, so everybody took their car out of the garage first thing in the morning and mine is stuck there with no way of getting it out without driving by a lot of bricks and sand and etc. What does it mean? That I had to walk to work! Man, I hate that! The problem is not walking, but walking to work! I get there all sweaty with a messed hair when i should look in my best, right? Anyway, hubby said that he would pick me up at work in the end of the afternoon since acoording with the working guys everything would be done by then.

So, as if all that wasn’t enough, I was walking to work in my high heels boots, late and sweaty, when I tripped over something (no idea what!LOL) and fell down in the middle of the street! I am so so clumsy and pathetic! LOL I twisted my ankle, of course! Just SO ME! So humilliating to fell down in the middle of the street and twist a ankle. So now I was late, without my car, sweaty, with a messed hair, dirt clothes AND a twisted ankle! LOL

Somehow I managed to get up and after some tries and some pain I got to my work building. Guess what? I forgot my employee ID at home! Really, can this day be any worse? LOL I had to beg the security guy to let me pass and it was dificult because as I always go to work by car, i get to the building by another entrance and this guard didn’t work at the garage entrance so he didn’t know me. After a lot of begging he let me pass after a co-worker of mine met me there and assured the guard I worked there with him! LOL

They rest of the day passed ok but in the last minutes of the afternoon the system went down and so I couldn’t work anymore! LOL At least i can update this blog! LOL So when the time to go home approched I got a phone call from hubby saying that the work there is NOT ready and I’ll have to walk back home because he can’t use the car yet! Really? Isn’t that a bad day? Worse than that, only if started raining in my way back home!LOL

But changing the subject, i am making some changes here in the blog. My friend Amanda can’t acess my blog for some reason we don’t know, so she asked me to sign my blog’s feed using her email so she could receive all my posts in her inbox and then be able to read it. The thing is that i think (not sure) that my feed is not working properly as the feed url that is in my feedburner is from the old blog adress; the one with wordpress.com. I tried to edit it to change the address but I was not allowed or I could not find it, so I deleted the feed. Actually, I put a notice telling you all that that feed will be deactivated in 30 days. Then I created another feed with the new url address and I am waiting for it be avaible to me so I can edit it and post it into the blog. Cross your fingers as i have no clue about this feed thing! LOL

Sometimes when you are on many cts, as I am right now, you can go crazy. It`s so fun but at the same time so disturbing! I am talking about when the designers decide to released new kits at the same time. Man,  a girl can go crazy! LOL Right now I have  4 new kits to work on. All from different designers and due  to this week or beginning of next! Better get scrapping instead of being here! LOL But really, i can’t complain! I LOVE all my cts and I can’t live withotut them. That’s so true that i asked Vibeke to take me back in her CT! LOL I am so happy that she accepted me! I have no intention of going anywhere from now on!

I’ll be back later with some layouts to show you, ok?

In my last post I forgot to translate it to english, so I came back to do it now. Don`t want my international friends to go away without understanding what I write.  So, I was telling in the last post that I had quit 3 of my cts. It was not something that I wanted to do but something that I had to do. I was (still am) in too many cts. All my free time was going to scrapping pages for my cts, none for me. I didn`t have time to scrap pages with the stuff I bought.  Besides that, being so much time in the computer is not healthy and I got tired. I spent like 4 days without scrapping any page just because I was blocked and tired. That was when I decided to quit. I quit O.N Designs, Natali Designs and  Madame Mim Designs. This decision has nothing to do with their designs and I LOVE what they create and I`ll continue to be their costumers for sure! They are all so sweet and kind with me and It was so painfull to leave their cts, but I know that I did what I should do to not be overloaded with cts.

That`s it! I intend to go back soon!

Tentei voltar antes mas as coisas estavam super corridas. Estando em tantos cts não sobrava tempo para mais nada! Nem pra blog e nem mesmo pra passear nas galerias, coisas que eu adoro fazer! Por isso ontem tomei um decisão e saí de alguns cts. Infelizmente tive que fazer isso porque senão iria ficar louca!! Saí da O.N. Designs, da Natali Designs e da Madame Mim Designs. Isso por enquanto. Vou ver se assim já melhora o meu tempo, senão terei que sair de mais alguns!

Mas vamos aos los que são muitos desde o último post:

Esse foi o meu último lo feito para Natali Designs e usei o kit Countryside:

Esse foi um rak para a Patricia Sampaio e usei o Sweet child of mine collection da Dunia e Loreta:
