Nícia shared with us her upcoming challenges for this early 2016. I asked her to share "the" three things with all of us, and she took the opportunity.
Snailmail is... to rediscover myself while connectint to others. It is to find myself on others while I find new stuff in me. It's an incredible joy!
I wish to send forward... words of happiness. (Do you know a way which I can do this?)
One story, something good that happened wich was provided by the joy of letterwriting.
Once I messaged a very sweet girl asking to be penpals. When it was my birthday, and we didn't have yet share correspondence, she sent me some small gifts. Along with them she wrote me some words in a postcard, wishing me well. I was very touched by this because we weren't friends yet and I already felt a great love coming her way. She have put so much care on that package that it blew my mind.

Let's hope she'll later tell us what ways she found to accomplish her challenges. Want to be a part of the game? Join in "The Random pen pal" section + Keep tagging your pictures with our hashtag #senditforwardp for a chance to get featured.

Or what I was doing for the past weeks.
Most of you might already seen some of my handmade items, but I decided to show the most special order I've had, wich brought a happy feeling while creating and crafting.
I don't do equals except when I'm specifically asked to. I feel that our place for words must be as unique as the words itself. I love to draw with marker instead of printing, and have the most joyful moments while sketching stickers with ink and aquarelles.
And the best part, because these where Christmas gifts, I has the chance to over-create a little, and decorated the packages with handmade roses and other cuties.
I am a notebook collector, so "having a notebook" of ours is something that I see as a very special connection between us, memory, what we live today and somehow wish to leave for tomorrow. Well, maybe I'm not making any sense, but as notebook addict, trust me when I say it is the best to have a notebook that reflects a bit of who we are, and what we eager to be, I am wrong?
Well, but I'm not here only to show this little word keepers. I'm also here to bring you a new letter set, that I really hope you'll like and find useful. This set includes three examples of letter pages, one of them ruled, and also an envelope! You can download both here and here.
I'm always open to your ideas and tips, feel free to share it with me! :)

The postcard is a painting of Palamós, her summer village and the most lovely heart shaped papercut that reminds me the portuguese typical ones. So beautiful!
Nowadays I'm a bit behind in all sorts of things. I have some letters in my pile, some pictures to be finished and some orders to be shipped. I'm hoping to find the time I need to catch up with this lovely young lady, as soon as I can. And I hope someday we'll be able to share a nice talk+walk, a hug and the delicious treats - that I miss so much - from "la Boqueria" :)
With love,

This was sent a while ago, but I had some troubles with my computer. For some reason we didn't seem to be recognizing my SD memory card - panic situation for any wannabe photographer. Finally, my mum was able to recover my USB cable. Because later is better than never, and because it's the kind intention that matters, here I am showing what I made for our dear Nícia.
