About Me

Hi! I live in small town near Porto, the second biggest city in Portugal. I work at an accountants office...yeah, yeah, I know what you are thinking...boring...But what can I say "numbers speak to me"! Every free minute I have I am reading, watching a movie/series, listening to music or crafting! I love papercrafting: pocket letters, flipbooks, mini albums, layouts, travellers notebooks, cards, project life, embellishments, countdowns (for Valentines Day, Easter, Halloween, Christmas...it's so nice to receive a little gift every day:)... Traveling is something I really enjoy doing too, although I haven't done much of that lately:( My favourite color is pink! But I also like green, black, gold, white, teal...yellow, orange, red...I think brown is my least favourite of all... Oh I love using color schemes too! I have something to confess...I have many addictions...I'll name some, so you won't think I am too crazy:) So, washitape, puffy stickers, enamel dots, shakers (love my FUSE:) A don´t think I have a favourite style like vintage or shabby chic or steampunk or...I may have a tendency to maybe make some more "girly" stuff, but what I really like is a good challenge!

Favorite Music

Right now I prefer to listen to radio. But I think I have a very eclectic taste in music...I like Adele, Muse, Ed Sheeran, Nightwish...and so many others.

Favorite Books

Two words: HARRY POTTER The HP books taught me so much...I grew up reading them...and today is the day that I find myself saying "Oh, I know that because I read it on Harry Potter!" I also like Jane Austen very very much:)

Favorite Movies

Well I love going to the cinema! I like comedy, romence, action, supernatural, super heroes...anything but thrillers:)

Favorite Crafts

I have experimented a bit...but papercrafting always wins! A long time ago I made some things using FIMO, I also tried drawing and a bit of sewing... But my true call is paper: pocket letters, flipbooks, mini albums, embellishments, layouts, project life, travellers notebooks, cards...anything with paper really. I like making shadow boxes too and some scrap decor!

Private Swaps

I love countdowns!!! I enjoy making them for "special days", like Valentines, Easter, Halloween, Christmas (Advent Calendars), Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter, Birthdays, etc. And in any form or shape: pocket letters, mini albums, decorated envies, banners, tag album....... It feels so good to receive a little surprise each day! If anyone is interested in this kind of swaps just contact me:)

Comment: Oh my goodness! What a wonderful set of art cards (I will use them on cards and add a few things, but they are amazing and I cannot take credit for them) and generous gjifts in the back of the pockets as well. How special that you took the time to make so many special ATCs AND send them international at such cost. You made my day, my week and my month.
Response: Oh, thank you! I am so glad you like! And thank you for your kind words, I can't swipe the smile from my face:)

Hey there from TEXAS,

Swap: Profile Quote # 6

We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone. Ronald Reagan

Love and Hugs, Michelle

wittlecat on Feb 20, 2018:

"When it's 3am and you can't sleep, open your window or step outside your house. Feel the crisp, cold air on your skin. Take a deep breath and watch as you create clouds when you breathe out. Look at the dark hue sky that sits above your head and marvel at how beautiful it is. Try to find the moon and the stars that guard the night sky. Whisper all your uncertainties out into the universe, it's okay if you let the stars carry the weight of your worries for awhile. When it's 3 am and you can't sleep, make a cup of tea, grab a pen and paper and write all the things you wish you could say in the form of a letter and address then to the people you wish you had the courage to tell. When you're done, seal them in an envelope and keep them in the drawer of your beside table. Maybe one day you're show them the words you wrote but for now, it's out in the world and thats all that matters. When you start to shive, step back inside. When your hand starts to cramp, stop writing. When you crawl back in bed and try to sleep, I hope you feel a little lighter."\

Profile Quote #6 I hope you enjoyed it :)
