got back from Brazil...

...yesterday evening and I am still on Cloud 9...

Can I say I fell in love with this country, the food, CACHACA, and most of all, the PEOPLE there?

I didn't want to go back so soon and honestly, I even cried when I realized I was there. :)

Everything was so perfect, Brazilians have a sense to make you feel welcome, they made me cry when I thanked them at the end of the classes! :)

I would like to thank Lilian from Scrapnet for being the BEST hostess ever, I have no words to describe how happy I am right now and I'm counting the days til we meet again! Ale, Ana Rita, Lu, Vivi, and all the other girls that took the classes : muito muito muiiiiiiiiiiitooooo OBRIGADO! :)

I'm already living tomorrow for classes this weekend, which will be my last classes until september (phew a break...) but I 'll post pictures on tuesday I think :)

You rock °°°Prima°°°...and bye bye!

Hello everyone!

Today has been such a good, relaxing day... damien and I had lunch with his parents, then we drove to my parents' house and took my mom and Azzia the dog out for a walk, by the sea (I only live 5 mns awy from the Mediterranean Sea), in Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, it was good to smell the salty air there.

and tonight, I'm going to finish packing my suitcases and clean the house a little bit.

I've been realizing that I'm getting better and better at organizing :) I'm not that GREAT, but I'm getting better :)

Knowing that end of May is going to be super busy (I get back from Brazil n the 21st, and have to drive to Nice, on the Riviera, on the 23rd, and on the 22nd, make about 200 kits for my classes), I made myself a schedule to follow.

And it worked! Within a week, I managed to get THIS WHOLE LIST done :

 

2 layouts for kit #1 from SIStv : OK.
2 layouts for kit #2 from SIStv : OK.
2 American Crafts layouts: OK.
1 100% American Crafts layout : OK.
3 Prima layouts : OK.
interview for the SIStv Ezine : OK.
get all the paperwork done for {EA} Nice and send them : OK.
tutorial for SIStv (written, project done, already pre-posted the whole tutorial on the blog): OK.

Well I have to admit that Damien helped me out a little bit on certain things :)

So, I only have my suitcases to get done now.

I don't think I'll have time to post tomorrow, and to post from Brazil either, but I wanted to show you a layout that I made yesterday, just for fun!

I would also like to THANK YOU ALL for reading my blog, leaving such sweet comments. I get all comments via emails, so I read them all, sorry for not replying to all of them, but please know that I DO read them all, and you are just the best to make my day! THANK YOU!

hugs!
