For many reasons, main being that my life now revolves around digital scrapbooking, I'm moving the blog to my other one here (as I could never access my WordPress for some strange reason) The blog is the one I used to blog in Portuguese, but as my brain is getting totally mushed lately, and I haven't even been able to write in English, and most *my people* now speak English...well, here is where you will find us from now on:<br /><br /><a href="http://scrappinlavidaloca.blogspot.com/">Scrappin La Vida Loca</a><br /><br />hope to see you there ;)MrsPeelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04953387460897929563noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423737395706891619.post-89659433781808412102010-09-28T04:58:00.007+01:002010-09-28T06:18:32.478+01:00The Brave Girls Club.... (and some great news!)...is this amazing website (well, it's a lit more than a website, but) that my friend Rebecca, originally from Scrapblog, set me one day whilst in the middle of the cancer fight.<br />I could spend hours explaining you what the <a href="http://www.bravegirlsclub.com/">Brave Girls Club</a> is, but I will say only that you subscribe (it's free) and they will send you every day some thoughts, thoughts that, in my case, from day one seemed taylor made.<br />But I wont say much, just go check it yourself...the only thing I can say is that we are gonna save, and save, and save a bit more, but will get to go to the mothers & daughters camp. Oh my...all the way to Idaho! yup. So worth it.<br /><br />It's 5am in London which just got cold, like in a click of fingers someone decided it was time,not to get those autumnally afternoons, but to dive into winter. I was going to sleep and then realised it wont be easy, I'm like super excited...why?<br /><br />All the events of the past few weeks are difficult to write down at once, but one of the good things that happened, which in the beginning I thought not to be so good, was one of my favourite designers, <a href="http://crisdamdesigns.com/blog/">Isabel Mendez (Crisdam Designs)</a> asking me to make a page for her CT, then extending to be a permanent CT member and, shortly after that, offering me to help her by being her CT lead...which, as much as I wanted to help, scared me a bit...I mean...would I be able to do something like this? I'm not all that good with techie stuff, I m slow, I get confused at certain times of the day because of my medication....and then my Windows in Parallels crashed...I was more than ready to give up.<br /><br />But, as it goes, life has something planned and in store for us many times...and this one it came in the form of the marvellous Trista, whom you may know better as Scrappyt. She wouldn't let me. So I couldn't give up. She came in to share the lead after I suggested she was a much better person than me to fill the position, but she wouldn't let me, she said she would do it, but with me.<br />We have now the final team and the guest until March. We have been sending invites and I'm sure I can hear some of this girls laughter and the good vibes...it wasn't an easy selection, with so many people applying who are more than gifted, pure talent...<br />but we finally got to the final names :)I was amazingly pleased to see that both Isabel and Trista think in a way very similar to mine, and, let me tell you...this team will ROCK it!<br /><br />I think (as do lots of others) that Isabel's creations are amazing.<br />And I think she deserve a place right on top.<br />I'm glad, happy, excited-insert many other positive adjectivs here- to be be part of this beautiful team of wonderful women.<br /><br />I promise to go visit blogs soon...<br />Stay tuned for more news, freebies and sales ...and maybe a thought or two :)<br /><br />here is my last pages with Isabel's awesome kits..<span style="font-style:italic;">.(click in the kit's name to go shopping)</span><br />with<a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/store/product.php?productid=29914&cat=0&page=1"> What a Pear</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5f54CKocl-PSU2o1I8rRP6gg4_IElFY2QToEbcp4KhKT2INjLeIG7oOTgfAYaMVCcwQoveKp6ubKHTOB4U44bG03rtrQ42yDjRbyVJK6n-JY6j0FC48f1ETJ9O7KerQR34dGQ4LwPdGSs/s1600/whatApairsmall.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Few of these girls have a blog, few others don't, so I will link their galleries here, in case you would like to go see what they do. I need to have time to do these things, and I will do very soon.<br />There are big time changes going on in my life, both because of my condition is deteriorating and because my daughter has reached an age in which she is shaping out her personality, which still has a lot I like, but a few issues I don't. Struggle, struggle.<br />Story of my life.<br />Anyway.<br />I wanted to show something I made which is scrap photos of my little self, and finally use the stuff I bought a while ago at <a href="http://www.deviantscrap.com/">Deviant Scraps</a>, mainly from <a href="http://tumblefishstudio.blogspot.com/">Tumble Fish Studios</a> (the reason I went into Deviant'sScraps and now I see she isn't there anymore?) <a href="http://hollieharadon.blogspot.com/">Holliewood Studios</a> and <a href="http://crowabout.blogspot.com/">Crowabout</a>, and the other page a collab from GeekChick and LaurenGreer, a store I'm not normally able to afford either but what the heck, one can forget about the financial break down of the world and spend a bit once in a while. (said peeps being generous means sometimes you have some coupons to aid in this!)<br />So, that was it.<br />I have to add that, the more I look at what's in my head, the more I want to try spare time and energy to attend Marit's courses,and the more I think about the Brave Girls Club retreat, especially taken it that Sarita was over the moon when I showed her the Mother and Daughter's camp, the more I think of giving up little bits and pieces and asking my family to collaborate (read send money) for us to go. But I'll keep you posted, in case you wanna know, that is.<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Wonderfully Weird, collab <a href="http://geekchicscraps.com/blog/">GeekChic</a> & <a href="http://scrapfasticdesigns.com/blog/">Lauren Grier</a></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8cJ7II82P8wy3tf4UeHXWfolBn30ofQsFZxXL76IPFCAgTWU4BZNugSvBfSLP3pahPMXR4PGKoZY6e7szq94G4RI940CLgHGxPwTzFf3IKE-U-RK-JrFNSnfuGR4s3kCSjCmDDSl_xaYN/s1600/just+the+real+me.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8cJ7II82P8wy3tf4UeHXWfolBn30ofQsFZxXL76IPFCAgTWU4BZNugSvBfSLP3pahPMXR4PGKoZY6e7szq94G4RI940CLgHGxPwTzFf3IKE-U-RK-JrFNSnfuGR4s3kCSjCmDDSl_xaYN/s400/just+the+real+me.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520030696788119026" /></a>MrsPeelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04953387460897929563noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423737395706891619.post-59652306268798262312010-09-21T11:49:00.007+01:002010-09-21T13:56:52.229+01:00News Update! and why I LOVE DSA2 by SerifStar of a new season today..what are you starting? We are entering autumn here, but if I was *home* (the places where I grew up, as home is now pretty much here in London!) I would be starting spring...well, both beautiful season changes to have your camera ready and get out...so, no worries there.<br />I know I haven't been very good at keeping up with my blog, and most definitely not good at keeping up with my friends :(<br />I need a whole refurbishment but, as many of you know, I had some major computer crashes...so now I am trying to get organised and tidy up the *house*, so, expect some new look,new interesting competitions and freebies coming up, stayed tuned.<br /><br />Before anything I feel I should thank a North American gentleman from the <a href="http://forums.serif.com/index.php">Serif Software forums</a>, because without him nothing would have been possible. As many of you know, I'm not keen on PhotoShop or PhotoShop Elements, though I have PSE in my Mac, I find it great for photo treatment, for re sizing and stuff of the sort, but for my scrapping and designing? Well, that will be <a href="http://www.serif.com/scrapbook/">Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 by Serif</a>, the very best program there is.<br /><br />This amazing piece of software comes handy for under £30 (which means just under US$ 50, me thinks) which is slightly cheaper than PSE and...well...far, far easier to use.<br />DSA2 has a CutOut Studio which is an amazing tool that will allow you to extract just about anything from a photo with such presition is even scary....and a very good photo editing tool with all the filters my PSE6 has.<br />You struggle with shadows? well.. suffer no more, because DSA2 will give you the most professional looking shadows by just a twick of the mouse.<br />I could go on and on, but just look at my pages from October 2009 onwards and you will know.<br />Serif people are so proud and sure of the product they have created that they even give you a simpler, <a href="http://www.serif.com/digital-scrapbooking/">compact trial version for free</a>. Of course full version will give you an assortment of tools you wont have in the compact, but I know the people I have shown this program to are totally amazed and needed no more than 5 minutes in the compact to go running to get the full version....is that good.<br />There is also a website called Daisy Trail where you can post your creations without needing to resize, but, though the people over there are marvellous and I was welcomed wonderfully, I am loyal to my scrapping home at <a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/">Gotta Pixel</a> and have, am afraid, little time at the moment for much else than there and my other CT commitments...<br /><br />Now, DSA is a program designed to work on PC's (Windows) and I'm on iMac...so I have had my fair share of suffering to get it to work properly, and this is where the Serif Software Forums come in, and with it my saviour, this gentleman who posts there as webmasternapa, and to whom I owe the peace of mind of being able to run DSA to the best of the program's ability.<br />He has spent time making me a document (idiot proof too, taking into account my little knowledge of technicalities LOL) to re install my Parallels (the program which allows me to have a virtual PC in my Mac) and Windows, and then he also invested a lot of time with me online to make all work to precision... so, thanks so much, Brian, you give me back the trust in humanity :)<br /><br />But I have to say that the kindness of these people doesn't limit to this one gentleman.<br />In the 11 months I have been going up and down trying to get the program to work well, I have received so much help from other users at this Serif Forums, I thought they were Serif employees...well, they are not.<br />These guys are simply people who love the software they use and love to share their knowledge with others and help..which is a rare thing these days....and if you think that, with me, they need to put up with complete technical ignorance...well, they are saints! LOL<br />There are a few whom i should name because it is because of them I am happily scrapping away, they are a wonderful girl who goes as mjh, and two gentleman Alfred & Peter.<br />There is someone who needs a very special mention and she is the one you will absolutely LOVE if you buy this program...because she will show you with her videos how to make things you have never thought possible...<br />her name is Melinda, she is in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/lovemyzombie">YouTube as lovemyzombie</a> and once you have DSA2, she will become your most amazing companion and her voice will guide you through her mouse expertingly moving through the DSA tools in her videos.<br />Remember: you can do just about <span style="font-weight:bold;">ANYTHING with this program</span>.<br /><br />I see I have gone from an update into a review...but without <a href="http://www.serif.com/scrapbook/">DSA</a> I wouldn't have been able to do what I'm doing now. I had to make some adjustments in the teams I was in and stay with what I know I will be able to manage...<br />If you know me, you know I am not keen on people who are in gazillion CTs , no matter how great you are...no matter how beautiful your pages are...you will neglect the community side of things.<br />And to me, if you have no time for the other women who make possible that you would be in the CTs...well...your page become cold and have no more appeal to me.<br />As much as a great CT page made me go mad with a kit I never thought could be of any use for me and I didn't stop until I bought it (full price!), this other kind of CT member can put me of buying from a designer too.<br />So, I m just keeping to the very things I am able to deal with without neglecting my community participation.<br />I am guest for <a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=108">Captivated Visions</a> & <a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=7">Connie Prince</a>, both super designers, favourites of mine, for September, and I'm staying with <a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=67">SweetDigiScraps by Liz</a> and <a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=125">Mye De Leon</a> (another couple of amazingly creative women whom I'm devoted to) and I have now a huge responsibility as <a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=68">Isabel Mendez (Crisdam Designs)</a> asked me to take the lead of her CT.<br /><br />I know a lot of people out there are thinking I am inexperient to take on this role,but I believe there is nothing in this life that cannot be achieved if you have passion, love, dedication...all things I'm proud to say I have regarding Isabel and her designs.<br />But yes,in a way or another some of these people maybe rigt, that's why I called <a href="http://www.busybee-hive.blogspot.com/">my friend Trista </a>(whom you may <a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/gallery/u23601-scrappyt.html">know better as scrappyt)</a>ha wonderful Texan girl, an artist who scraps from the heart like I do and we are helping Isabel with new look, new team, same marvellous designs that captured my love when I first came to Gotta Pixel and I'm sure you will love too.<br /><br />We have a CT call at the moment, the deadline for applications is the 24th, so, if you had not seen the call before and would like to apply, you still have three days. The new team will be announced on the 30th :)<br />I will be refurbishing my blog too, as I had to move my personal blog to Word Press as the site where I blogged (Vox.com) is closing down , still unsure what I will do with that....but my craft work will remain here and I will very soon give it a fresh look and update info :)<br />So, for the latest news on <a href="http://thelatinmrspeel.blogspot.com/2010/09/creative-sweeties-blog-trainand.html">freebies go to my previous post</a>, and you can visit <a href="http://crisdamdesigns.com/blog/">Isabel's blog,</a> and, of course, the <a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=68">Gotta Pixel Store for goodies!!!</a> Today is Pixel Tuesday at GP, be sure to go get yourself some treats!!! <br /><br />Here is the CT Call instructions and there is also<a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/showthread.php?38529-Super-Refurbishment-for-Crisdam-Designs-(Isabel-Mendez)-and-the-CT-CALL-(revisited!)"> a post I made HERE @ Gotta Pixel,</a> explaining a bit better who are we looking for.

<br />So, here we are....
<br />Maybe you come from another stop, maybe you just stumbled upon this blog, so, let me tell you a bit about us:
<br />
<br />We are the <a href="http://creativesweeties.blogspot.com/">Creative Team</a> for one of the most amazing designers of the whole digi scrapping world, Liz Hutchison,who runs <a href="http://sweetdigiscraps.blogspot.com/">SweetDigiScraps by Liz</a> and <a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/store/home.php">Gotta Pixel</a>, which is my scrapping home.
<br />Our CT is full of talented girls, starting by our lead who also makes some of the most amazing Word Arts and extras (like clusters, borders, some amazing work) which you will find in Liz's store but as <a href="http://bygonesscrapbooks.blogspot.com/">SweetDigiScraps by Danyale.</a>
<br />Then comes the<a href="http://creativesweeties.blogspot.com/"> Sweeties.</a>
<br />These women are people I admire and love, extremely talented girls, and we have some marvellous guests at the moment too, so we all have teamed up to give you a little (big!) present with this Blog Train...
<br />If you are coming from another stop, you have seen how amazing these girls are, so grab my bit and carry on, we made them with love for you to enjoy.
<br />If you just arrived here, go to the previous stops as well as the following ones, you wont regret it :)
<br />
<br />My bit of the train is a cluster frame I made with Liz' kit <a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/store/product.php?productid=29164&cat=0&page=2">Precious</a>.
<br />The LO I made with the kit was (is) very special to me because I made it for my friend Lu in Brazil, who just had her baby girl Valentina (we call her Nina) as a present as I couldn't be there for the arrival.Here is the LO I did with the kit:
<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxBH-v8s4xWqsEzr2UF0mpgQqhoBvaym1XSg47QtS9FDGP5JRwr6CutE7Z9a_sifMAnEACDklIj5epoHNMfviMO-Vo1-AWYGsB8RHRA24LX6oGH0s4xpa8MCAuhMwOFkfqo0XfM5AJPs34/s1600/precioussmall.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxBH-v8s4xWqsEzr2UF0mpgQqhoBvaym1XSg47QtS9FDGP5JRwr6CutE7Z9a_sifMAnEACDklIj5epoHNMfviMO-Vo1-AWYGsB8RHRA24LX6oGH0s4xpa8MCAuhMwOFkfqo0XfM5AJPs34/s400/precioussmall.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517897586584019474" /></a>
<br />The kit is great for all those precious little ones,but it's fun, fresh colors make it not only great for girls of all ages,with beautiful flowers and flourishes to help accent your memories, but also the colors are so wonderfully great for any other themes, as it is not a totally pink kit, can be used for boys too, nature or 365 Project are also some of the themes I have scrapped using it.
<br />Created at 300 dpi and 12 inch print quality (as are all other Liz' and Gotta Pixel Products) it'll help you make some of the most amazing pages...I know it did with me :)
<br />Here is the kit preview, <a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/store/product.php?productid=29164&cat=0&page=2">click HERE to go to the store</a>

Like I used to. Nothing much, just making a record of our lives, and I had this project, I was gonna print it all, again, nothing much, just a home printer and cheap paper, but it would be a tangible reminder of what it was, and probably would paint in my daughter's face the same smiles all the stuff my mum has kept painted in mine.<br />Then things got in the way.<br />Like my health, for starters.<br />My energy levels aren't high enough, then I found scrapping and that kinda simplifies the way....<br />But for the past 3 or 4 weeks I have been really, really wanting to document what is going on...only for one reason or another it gets put aside....<br /><br />But today something happened that, though it wont respect the chronological line up at least gets me going...<br /><br />I also want to write about my latest experiences in the (various) scrapbooking communities I am part of, or visit or buy stuff,something that I rather do in a separate post as my feelings are very passionate and don't want to mix things:<br />Where my feelings regarding our last few weeks as a family with my daughter are something beautiful and uplifting... my feelings towards what the scrapbooking communities are turning into are, to say the least, of disappointment.<br /><br />OK, so..we have been to the West End theaters.<br />First we got free tickets to see the newest David Essex's musical, All The Fun in The Fair,through the Mousetrap Foundation, a charity that helps getting children up to 16 years old into theatre, but that also deserves it's own post, promise to write that soon, the Mousetrap team certainly deserves it.<br /><br />Then we saw Hair @ the Gielgud Theatre, to which we got less than half price tickets as we are lucky (in an ironic sort of way, as I get them through my being registered disabled) to get this kind of deal from most West End theaters.<br />Now this was a huge thing for both of us.<br />Hair was the first musical I was on stage,and my daughter grew up listening to the songs in all three languages, Spanish, Portuguese, English, so when I saw that Hair was coming over from Broadway, I started saving money straight away.<br />On Friday, 30th of April, we saw it from the first row of the dress circle, which was quiet a nice seating as the theatre isn't that big...and that was it. The love affaire started for Sarita with the same passionate strength that hit me on that night of 1971 when my parents (after a LOT of begging from my part, I was only 13) took me to see it.<br /><br />The whole Broadway cast is absolutely fabulous, words are not enough to describe the Hair experience.<br />Each and every one of these actors are a hurricane of energy, talent and emotion, and, funnily enough, though there are not many hippies left in this society of ours, the subject of war will always remain the same (unfortunately)<br />I need to point out to a couple of facts:<br />One is that we did not (both times we saw it) saw Sasha Allen perform.<br />I'm not completely sure but I think the girl we saw opening the show with Aquarius & singing the White Boys songs is Phyre Hawkins, and we were extremely pleased to have had the luck of seeing her perform.<br />We saw Sasha Allen in YouTube, and, despite her being really good, we LOVED this other girl's performance.<br /><br />Now...onto the reason that brought me back to the theatre every night until I was on stage in the 70s and has awaken in my daughter the same passion...<br />Hair's George Berger is, undeniable, the most charming character of the whole play, and this time Berger is played by (oh drool, droll and treble drool) Will Swenson.<br />The man is so talented, gifted, such a singer, dancer & actor that you can't help falling in love with him. The fact that he is the most sensual, sexy, gorgeously looking guy i have seen in the past 15 years helps...<br />So, before the play was even nearing the interval, my daughter leans and whispers in my ear:<br />*mum, we NEED to come back: front row*<br />and I, of course, said yes.<br />Why?<br />Because front row gives you the complete Will Swenson experience.<br />The whole time the cast mingles around with the audience, but Berger/Swenson's opening monologue sees him interacting with the front row people...and this involves very, very close contact....who am I to deny my daughter such pleasure?<br /><br />One of my best friends in life, a friendship that dates from those 70s was coming to spend a week in London with us after lecturing in a couple of conferences in Europe,so we thought we wait and take her too...so on tuesday the 18th of May we had another mind blowing evening on the AA row @ The Gielgud...this time very special to Sarita.<br />She got hugged (proper squeeze hug, as she describes it) kissed and then hugged a bit more.<br />Marta got to hold Will's trousers (which he takes of right from the start LOL) and we all enjoyed the talents of the whole cast apart from the beautiful view.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPuKgASkKmWiMX7ZRi3FaZyh5WWP_VElBXlh3TndRMe8i1iQ8nWYvvRp4UQTf_4hGz-558mOBqSE03AgqMdJ99ND7DFgqgpJR0CyvK94I_5WQEWOCNlKuUPRN8NODYpMF8OwITPGgsKSI6/s1600/Hair+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPuKgASkKmWiMX7ZRi3FaZyh5WWP_VElBXlh3TndRMe8i1iQ8nWYvvRp4UQTf_4hGz-558mOBqSE03AgqMdJ99ND7DFgqgpJR0CyvK94I_5WQEWOCNlKuUPRN8NODYpMF8OwITPGgsKSI6/s400/Hair+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475007820598117826" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Credits:again, Connie Prince's</span> <a href="http://www.gottapixel.net/store/product.php?productid=27925&cat=0&page=1">Backyard Adventure</a><span style="font-style:italic;"> plus elements from the INSD blog train, meaning there is something from: Scatcy Carlson,SpinkyDinkyScraps,CreationsbyRachael,Lorie M,CaptivatedVisions,Litabells,Kristmess and LindsayJane.

LOL).<br />Some of them in the land of Oz (read Australia) and these are increasingly getting a deep imprint in my heart, and some in Europe, with my most favorite at the mo being in the Netherlands (that IS Europe, right? LOL I'm getting old and my cultural memory is being smashed by the political changes!)<br />In blogging scenes, I have to mention these women because they are worth reading, watching and listening:<br /><br /><a href="http://miruspeg.blogspot.com">Peggy</a>, whom I had the pleasure,honor and delight of meeting in person and who, regardless of the distance, always finds a way to make herself present and supportive with a beautiful wake up call on my phone. She also has the MOST AMAZING music playing in her blog....<br /><br /><a href="http://soiwasjust.blogspot.com/">Annemarie</a> and here I'm at loss for words...if I ever have found a synonimous for bravery, strength, capacity, talent and multitasking...well that's Annemarie. She also has some amazing music playing, and I'm hoping to be able to go meet these two girls in Norway in a near future (I'm working on it girls!)<br /><br />The Netherlands girl is <a href="http://www.maritscrapworld.com/blog/">Marit</a> (though her blog presents her name in lower case, I think she deserves upper cases, in shinning lights too). This girl I found through Annemarie, who sent me a link to her blog and I got hooked ever since. I m even gonna get my daughter to do one of Marit's courses in summer... yes, she is a master and finds the strength and wonders of passing her knowledge on, with very accessible prices, ones that even I can contemplate in spending!)<br /><br />there is another USA girl whom I discovered lately and my heart was full of joy, not only because she is so generous with her (amazing!!!!) talent as to sharing her kits for free, but also because her blog is what it says on the tin:<a href="http://everydaymomideas.blogspot.com/"> Every Day Mom's Ideas.</a>... and her ideas are not only doable, but in budget and brilliant...plus her way of communicating is one I love....and her kits are original, something I have been getting more and more disappointed with in the more popular, profit gaining designers (but that would a whole new post, right?)<br /><br />There are a lot more I could be naming, linking and...well, there is only a certain amount of time and I need to get on with life, but I have to mention the Brazilian girls or I wouldn't be making justice...I have made a post for them and that was what inspired this post...<br />Through a new, net acquired friend by one of those impulses that makes you click on someone just because you liked the comment they left in someone else's blog, I came across<a href="http://pasionscrapdigital.blogspot.com/"> this wonderful woman</a>, who also has <a href="http://humm-tasty.blogspot.com/">this other recipe blog</a>. Yes, I know, both her blogs are in Portuguese, but her Layouts are universal so, if you like them, go leave her some love, she speaks English :)<br /><br />She introduced me to her scrapping communities which have in turn brought the most beautiful love into my life. But again, this would all be in Portuguese and they have an entire blog of mine for them, so, lets get to the last point....<br /><br />I have no intention of becoming a designer at the moment. If I had any at some point, starting to do CT work for some of them plus my incursions on paying for kits (even if only in the 1 dollar/Euro sales) and looking into their rules and...well, lets say I'm a bit disappointed and don't think it's worth my stress.<br />In looking into their rules, combined with the amazing, wonderful program I use (I'm scared of scrapping with PSE, have I said that before? LOL), the<a href="http://www.serif.com/scrapbook/"> Digital Scrapbook Artist by Serif </a> (which deserves a whole review, I know) I started finding my way to create my own stuff for my own books.<br />Not much, nothing totally fancy, but I finally put together a mini kit.<br /><br />After all the support I received from some of the girls of a<a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Digital_Scrapbook_Freebies/"> freebie group I belong to </a> through my breast cancer adventure, I gave the mini kit away to them, post it in the group.<br />Then when I went to check the amount of downloads and compared to the amount of *thank Yous* I got....well...this wasn't a case in which they would have to (like here, I m afraid) do a word recognition or register or anything costly of their time....it involved only clicking *reply* and typing *thanks*.<br />So I passworded the thing.<br /><br />Maybe not worth the bother to some.<br />Well up to *some*.<br />If you are not the *some* kind, and just happened to stumble across this blog and like what you see in the preview, just leave a comment, tell me you want this, I'll pass on the password :)<br />If you are a Facebook buddie, I'll be posting the password there.<br />If you are a friend of mine but are not in Facebook, email me, I ll get the password out to you.<br /><br />Here are the previews:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIOhD-Kaj5h13ajFm-iEVXubQVE4lQSZENsTSpZm_PxWWqsxJOgTjeJw3IlgyDZfv2vRmwjVwlr0aTfnrHToJn62o3v0yRghX8M7rzocT0cSJLcsarQNzA_t3Opm_uHemityr0jOLZ0oCm/s1600/preview+metalic+alpha+upper.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I would like that to happen, very, very much.<br /><br />On the other hand, there is something that is saddening my happiness, and I am gonna ask now here for all of your prayers/good vibes/thoughts, spiritual strength for the people of the State of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, who are suffering from severe flooding that has taken, at the last count last night, 184 lives....and it isn't only the disadvantaged who are suffering..lots of people who live hill side are at risk, with many having lost everything..<br />Thank you so much, and see you soon!MrsPeelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04953387460897929563noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423737395706891619.post-80818952243886979822010-04-08T15:24:00.004+01:002010-04-08T15:49:41.033+01:00Puppy Love!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh75rn6j0JNFeod7TZ1aNN9-BF6XUn4AJU0Y1Oh8ZQYdLxcJkl9UNTF3TySKGhFEWcHI1QTXTIZG97zR1kN16e-uF8K__STco1727IYXoEkyUXBwIZbHTPQI76jPNIfixpNPidJoBVORgbq/s1600/PuppyLove2.jpg"><img style="display:block;

<br />another book for our library...
<br />we got free tickets to the itisj Music Experience @ at O2 Arena through the <a href="http://www.mousetrap.org.uk/">Mousetrap Foundation</a> and, once again these wonderful people provided an amazing outing. The last time was Peter Pan Royal Gala Premier @ Kensignton Gardens which provided an opportunity to dress up and a marvelous performance, together with a sighting ( very close indeed) of the Royal Family and (to Sarita's excitement) lots of celebrities (including some from across the pond.
<br />That outing was registered in <a href="http://www.scrapblog.com">Scrapblog.com</a>, and you can have a look at the slide show of the scraps <a href="http://www.scrapblog.com/viewer/vw_full.aspx?sbid=1953986">HERE</a>
<br />
<br />This time it provided one of our favorite means of transport, the speedy boats in the Thames.
<br />We took a cab with my <a href="http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/LGNL_Services/Transport_and_streets/Taxis_and_minicabs/Disabled_people-taxi_card.htm">Disabled Taxi Card</a> which has saved us in so many outings as I got to a point now in which public transport is a no no 99,9% of the time...
<br />The taxi took us to the Waterloo Pier where we bought discount boat tickets (again, with the Disabilty discount) and, of course, we were shutter happy...so here is my account of the whole thing...

there...they aren't many, but sure are first quality, amazing friends.<br /><br />Thanks to all of you who came over to comment in my previous post, I have felt beautifully your presence over this

would be proud........of all people who work at the private<a href="http://www.hje.org.uk/page/home"> Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth</a>, especially Dr Wilson, the consultant for the Breast Unit.<br />(well, that taken that it was Hyppocrates who wrote the oath, but I'm sure you know what I mean)<br />Someone else who makes proud medicine as a profession, especially taken that she is an NHS GP, is my own General Practitioner, Dr Sarah Morgan.<br /><br />Making a long story short as my headache is one of those hammering ones:<br /><br />When I went to the Royal Free to get the results of my biopsies, they made me wait for almost two hours only to be vague and go round in circles to tell me they wanted me to come back (again) this week as they STILL had not received the images of the mammogram I had last month.<br />I left in anger, swearing and banging doors.<br />Before I took enough Zopiclone to guarantee 24 hours sleep, I made an appointment with the private Breast Unit at St John's & St Elizabeth, which was today.<br /><br />Yesterday my GP called me with the not so very good news that the Royal Free, though the biopsies came back clear were vague about not being sure if the tissue they took was actually from the problematic area, and that they were considering "removing that problematic area of the left breast completely*...<br /><br />HA.<br /><br />Well, at least, I thought, it is removable and not some stage 4 of something left unattended (by them) from 2006....still a surgical procedure and, giving the Royal Free's reputation, I was not enthusiastic.<br />My Gp mentioned St J & St E had actually contacted her, I said worse coming to the worse, I would probably choose to have surgery at UCH, but that was also a tricky option: there was were they failed with my *straight forward hip replacement* and the 3 following surgical procedures in which they try to fix it...<br />No point on stressing, I thought.<br />Lets go see what the power of money can do, right?<br />Right<br />Wonderfully right.<br /><br />This guy saw me today.<br />Gobsmacked to the fact that they (the Royal Free) had not explained the results of my core biopsies, had a good look at me (well, my breasts, of course) and when I repeated what my GP told me to tell him, about the others contemplating the slicing of my breast, he says: *Oh...you don't wanna do that*.<br />He said he will be seeing me at the Whittington (an NHS hospital where he has a clinic, meaning I wont have to pay) in probably 4 to 6 weeks, but that he will still talk to the people who did the initial mammogram, give me a call. but that he sees clearly that these problematic area are calcification deposits, and that this is what they showed in the core biopsies under the microscope.<br />He says chances of cancer cells being inside this calcifications are remote, but all the same he will be getting me to have another mammogram in 6 months time, just in case.<br /><br />So, there.<br />There are still people who practice medicine ethically, people who think of the whole picture apart from the pure scientific outcome.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive, especially <a href="http://miruspeg.blogspot.com/">Peggy</a> , my friends Cristina (another Brazilian in London, whom we have kept a beautiful friendship alive for 20 years) & Franceska, a most wonderful soul I had the blessing of coming across sometime in 2005 and has already seen me through some other difficult times, my carer Lizzie, and of course, my daughter, my beautiful, amazing, mature, intelligent, out of this world child.<br />These are people who have been giving me more than amazing support in *real life*. There are, of course, all of you online who have given me beautiful words and encouragement through the optical wire, and it would take me the whole night to name you....but you know how much I value your presence.<br /><br />Lets just get a huge smile in our faces and the next post will be full of scraps, as I can feel my hands itching to get on doing something :) See you soon....MrsPeelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04953387460897929563noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423737395706891619.post-25083283720182906652010-03-06T11:29:00.004+00:002010-03-06T11:47:23.150+00:00Status Update....I have to admit I am in no mood to write, but I have proved to myself many times that this helps.<br />And also to keep you up to date with events...but will be brief.(well, I can but try!)<br /><br />When I went back to hospital on thursday, they STILL didn't have the results of my mammogram done at the health centre.<br />Something the surgeon who examined me found may have alerted them, so they decided to risk the budget and repeat the mammogram, but only on the left side.<br />Then they ultrasound me.....or should I say *knitted my left breast like some pizza dough*?<br />anyway...<br />After some 20 minutes of this skquessh and squash, he tells me (not ask me) he will do a *couple* of biopsies.<br /><br />He assured me this procedure is almost painless, that the anesthesia would probably hurt more than the actual procedure.<br />How would you know, I say.<br />He starts trying to explain to which my reaction,through a curtain of tears and hiccuping,was, in my best authority accent<br />*you are not a girl and have no boobies*<br />(I swear I could see a faint forming of a smile there)<br />*well yes, you are probably right ion that one*<br /><br />He was right on the painless.<br />Even when he warned me as to: * this maybe a bit more painful, ok?* it wasn't, really.<br />Not to the levels of pain I am used to 24/7, but maybe (and only maybe) the high dose of Tramadol Hydrochloride I permanently have in my body helped.<br />He did warn me about the anesthesia wearing of in 4 hours and to brace myself then.<br />Right.<br />He also warned about the bruising and swelling, but instructed to leave the bandaging (which resembles the akenatom's) until tomorrow.<br /><br />Results next thursday.<br />All good will actions most welcome.<br />Have a great weekend.MrsPeelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04953387460897929563noreply@blogger.com2
