ATC's :: Artist Trading Cards

❤ ENGLISH: 2 mixed media ATC's I did for a swap with Mary Z. from Willowing's  ATC Swap. I wish I had time to do more!! They're so much fun to make! Mary was a sweetheart and waited for mine - I took ages to get them finished because of crazy baby-twins-husband-try-to-make-some-art-in-the-middle-life... Anyway, off they went on their way... 

Plus my children's musical is now on stage! My Rainbow Fairies® have taken flight and are doing their magic!*** Thus the weak blogging :-)... Please forgive me... but it was for a good cause... will post about it soon. Promise!

❤ PORTUGUÊS: 2 ATC's que fiz para a troca do grupo da Willowing. Gostava tanto de ter tempo para fazer mais- é tão divertido! Mas esta vida louca e atarefada não me chega para tudo!! Tantos projectos a decorrer e eu a querer fazer tudo ao mesmo tempo :-)...  Tantas coisas mágicas a acontecerem!

Estreou o musical infantil "Mundo dos Sonhos", baseado nas minhas Fadas do Arco-Íris® no Tivoli, produzida pela Plano 6 e com direcção musical de André Sardet! Está em cena até Janeiro e podem ir ver todos os sábados e domingos às 16h. As Fadas e as músicas estão lindas!!! Obrigada a todos por me ajudarem a realizar este sonho!***

Estou ainda a preparar os meus workshops online - estão um pouco atrasados mas estão quase a sair do forno! E a fazer coisas para a Feira de Natal da Novo Futuro, no final do mês na antiga FIL, em Lisboa. Como vêem, estou bem ocupada :-)...

Love the animation effects in this!!

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events - End Credits | Movies & TV | SPIKE.com

I love the animation effects in this 'coz I'm really into animation these days and the wonders you can do with it... More magic! Yay!

My baby's first crush!***

We had a baby-friendly pool-party this weekend and the whole family was invited, so we took the babies... And T. fell in love with this magical doll...

He followed her around the whole party and kept on showing her his little magic world... He showed her the stars, the smoke (there was stage smoke involved, it being a massive party with concerts and fireworks and the whole shebang!), the colors in the laser lights, the feathers that fell from her pink hair and that he picked up off the floor...

My baby was falling in Baby-Love!! And I got to watch the Magic happen... And I melted inside watching him follow her around and showing her the stars. He's never like this - he's usually very kept to himself and minding his own baby-business. But he won't stop talking about her...

Now he says he's going to buy a horse so he can go get her and bring her back with him.

And so I got my baby's crush's mobile number (thank God for modern Dolls :-)!) and called her to cast her in the children's play we're doing in October... It's about fairies and magic and I think she's perfect!

Plus, that way T. can see his lovey again!

Here's a picture of us with her when we arrived (he wasn't in love yet :-)...)

Mad Tea Party!***

Here's my Queen of Hearts, ready to go to tea at A Fanciful Twist... The party is so beautiful! You should really peek at tha magic taking place there...

Wanted to do so much more, but didn't have enough time... (Better than nothing, I guess :-)).
