Hello dear fellow friends! This week is going real slowly when it comes to catching up with my pile of letters. I have started to focus on a new collective" project - linked with photography works - so, as you might imagine I'm not having much time for my own.
Nevertheless, I managed to end two letters that were on hold for reply since what it seems forever. One for Luana, a dear friend from my days in Coimbra that has moved. I miss her no-matter-what kind of joy, and felt really good to let my heart out with her - finally. She sent me a letter some time ago, but due to my family's present situation I was not prepared to write to her, since we are very close and it would be inevitable to talk about some specific (yet not so easy) subjects.
And the other letter I wrote was for Denisa, from Czech Republic. She is a very nice girl, who is always so thoughful with me. I was failing with her for quite a time, and I only hope she'll forgive my huge delay. I made her a small parcel filled with love and cuteness.
I'm still behind on so much more letters. But I'm doing my best to manage all of them, and get back to each and everyone as soon as possible.



I've been having the most fun making new craft supplies, and postcards. Since I'm more focused on my photography jobs lately, I've been taking some of my breaks to find nice images to share with my dear penpals. I've also been skeeching some new letter sets that I'll probably be giving to all of you, throughout the freebies section. (if you behave nicely! eheh) :)

I've been absent for a while, and failing with some of you - I know. Anyhow, things haven't turned out the way I expected along the beginning of the present year of 2016. I didn't asked for too much, this time. All I ever wanted for this year were all the simple things and getting + enjoying my life on the right track, for good. But life also happens sometimes, and soon I knew this year was going to be scarred, and leave me broken at some point.

Day 4: Leaf

I started by sending one to Maggie, the most lovely girl I've had the pleasure to meet via instagram, actually. But turned out to be the most nice company for coffee and treats. I had already sent her another postcard recently, but since we both thought it was forever lost, I prepared this one.


 Meanwhile I also answered a very short but most kind letter from Ana Lucia, from Brazil. She asked me a few nice question, so it was really joyful to reply to her. And also, I prepared another letter for Mariana, since the one I sent along with the first postcard for Maggie seems to still be in an uncertain location. At some point I decided not to send those pretty postcard alone, so I've made a few envelopes with some stationery goodies for each one of them.

I like to start every year by doing some good. There's something motivational on giving away smiles and love. Besides letters, I now some of the participants of my project are very much in love with crafts and decors. First kit packages are ready to fly to their awesome future owners. I hope everyone find this modest package a useful resource for 2016 first sendings :)

This were busy times in my routine. I had some unexpected orders for handmade items in such short notice, that I almost felt like I would never be able to finish everything on time. Well, in fact that would've happen if I actually had taken some time to myself.
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?
