A whole new world?

well....not quiet.
that's just a cool song from Aladin
in our case, you me, the two houses down neighbour, is always pretty much the same one, but changes are allowed and I think it's time for some huge ones in my little world.
I wish I had the discipline to keep up with stuff in order to keep some people I love a bit more informed, but that's somehow not happening and at this point in life I just don't want to force anything....

I had an episode last week, in which I found yet another lump this time in the other breast, ending yesterday without much stress from my part and almost none by my consultant, who just came at me with the needle,aspirated and went: there you go!
so, it wasn't anything, just a cyst, something which apparently I have many.
Of all this I am left with a very, very bad head cold, the reason I m awake at 4 am and doing something I have not done for a LONG time, like writing here...

So...along the lines of wrecking my brain trying to work out why life is so bleeming unfair, I work out that I need some serious changes, as the physichal ailments keep taking hold of my body, I need to have less responsabilities in order to enjoy them more,but you will work out everything that's going on as it happens, because very little of what happens in my life is planned..

For the time being, I am super proud, happy, delighted and over the moon not only to have been selected to do a guest spot this month for Captivated Visions and invited to Connie Prince for the same position, but also somehow, like a magic spell I see myself having a blast @ MyeDeLeon's team, a wonderful Philipinne girl who has waht it takes to make my heart tick, but also @ the Team of one of my all times favorites designers, Isabel Mendez.

The pages flow when one is in love with the designers, so that is not problem whatsoever to me, but on the other hand, the writing lines evade me and that's the majaor reason why I haven't updated stuff here....
There are times in which words are better left unsaid.

I hugely thank everyone who has been messaging me and apologyse for not returning your concern...these are fast paced, weird times for me, where I am the very first one suprised to the fact that I'm more and more withdrawing from public events or even phone calls....but I guess this is what age and illnesses would do to most....

Here are some of my last pages for the Teams, and I really, really hope I will be able to keep up with this responsably...in which case...I'll see you soon! :)

Something about my passion for photography

I'm shutter happy, always have been.
Maybe because I couldn't walk up to the age of 5 (in case youjust stumble upon this and don't know me, I was born with a double hip dislocation and doctors insisted I wouldn't be able to walk, but my parents were the loving and stubborn kind: I had 9 operations up to the age of 8, and started walking aged 5, never stopped until the British NHS decided to give me a hip replacement in 2003, followed by other 4 operations which failed in fixing what they did in the first) but my passion for all things artsy, being that the visual or the performing arts started very, very early.
BUt we are talking pre-digital times (VERY pre digital!)
And thinking about photography as a career was something one couldn't do, unless money was flowing, which, though we were middle class, in my case was not really an option.
If you think about the money we spent in those days just to develop films...well...
But I got given a camera by one of my dad's brothers, who also gave me my first guitar, and taking photos was as important as breathing...though I lost LOTS of photos through my gipsy life, careless *friends* and my own irresponsibility, I still got the joy of my mum keeping some treasures.
Though my daughter was born before digital cameras were something one would have at hand, we documented her life pretty well, which took me into digi scrapping and where I am now...
I was so, so excited when I saw Liz's new kit...it was like made to measure...so don't be surprised if lots of pages start coming up with this kit...is just one of the most amazing kits I have seen in my years in digi-land.
Someone suggested I could start an *all about me* book with my LOs, and I may do just that.
Have a look at the Gotta Pixel gallery to see what the rest of the Sweeties have created, and have a look at Liz's store there too...she has always fascinated me with her kits (she is probably the one I should thank for me being where I am, as it was through a freebie of hers I arrived in the forums) because the material is so versatile that you can create amazing variety of styles...here is a quick peak at what the Sweeties have made.

you can get this kit HERE, there is also some AWESOME word art by just as awesome Danyale HERE, and a cool alpha HERE.

I'll be back soon!

The Sweetest thing.....

...just happened to me this week.
Look at this:

this I made with the latest release by SweetDigiScraps by Liz, Set Adrift, available to buy now @ Gotta Pixel's store, just click HERE to buy
and then there is these


made with Get Your Eyes Checked, also by SweetDigiScraps by Liz, you can click HERE to get to the store again.

so yes, I have to confess I thought for a bit before answering this CT call, after all, the women already in this team are like the Da Vincis or Michelangelos of the scrap world to me... I was over the moon when I got the mail, which incidentally, I almost deleted, as it started like those *I'm gonna turn you down, sorry* email, kinda: *we have received so many wonderful galleries, we were overwhelmed* thing, so I had to read twice to be sure that the rest of the line was *and are pleased to tel, you yours was on the top ones, so we would like to extend the invite to join the team* .
I'm more than pleased.
So, it's celebrating time at the Taylor Girls household, Sarita won the competition of the local Big Dance event with the Dreams family (her after school dance group) even though they only heard it was a competition 15 minutes before performing, so we are both in celebration mood...

I also have the Alpha in the Victoria & Albert Museum LO to give away if you buy the kit, so, if you do buy it, message me @ Gotta Pixel and I will get it to you in no time :)
Now I promise to give some attention to all of your blogs, especially you Marit!!!!! tomorrow for sure :)
Huggzzzz!

Discovering America

Hey guys..long time no see...
I don't seem to have much time to update my blog unless is to show you my CT work....well, lets say these are not the easiest of times, with my daughter growing into a young lady (14 years old, going on 24!) and despite the friendship and love....well, I was a teenager once (probably a lot more of a headache to my parents than she is to me) so I know I need to take one day at the time...only sometimes one does not have much energy to write things down....thank God for scrapping.

So, Karen has a new (wonderful!) kit available, and the kit touches one subject I always like making a point at: the American thing....because I am an American too, right?
I maybe from the South, but American nevertheless :)
So, here are the pages I made with it, some more coming up.
The kit is available now @ DigitalDesignDen and @ DigiScrapsDriveIn
There are super saving with the bundle & biggie bundle in both stores.
Be sure to go to her blog, not only to see the rest of the CT work (amazing!!!!!!!!!!) but also to get your freebie :)

I have some other good news, so I maybe posting soon, thanks for popping in and apologies for not having much time to go see your blogs, the ones of you who have teenagers I m sure will understand, but will catch up soon, thanks for your visit!

Outside my Window

Hi guys...
I know I have been a bit lost in the daily dramas of life (which you will only know if you are or have been mom or dad to a teenager) and have not had much time to visit blogs or email people, not even visit you @ Facebook pages....:(
It seems like I'm permanently trying to catch up, as I am also late with this post....but better late than never, right?
Let me show you what I have done with the newest kit from SnickerdoodleDesigns....

this is such a wonderful kit, with elements and papers so amazing I had to find some amazing, especial photos for it...
so here is my aunt Sarita (shortening for Sara in Spanish) after whom I have named my daughter.
She was one of my mum's sisters, sadly died long time ago, in her late 50s...but she left me one of the best legacies anyone can inherit: the passion for traveling.

In this next LO is my cousin Lily, who has been present in my mum's life since way before she met my dad. She was brides maid at their wedding, and is still helping hugely

Here is where you can find this amazing kit:
@ Digital Design Den
or @ DigiScrapsDriveIn
you can also find it (budles et all!) @ AhhScraps

there is a bundle and a bigie bundle, all worth good savings, the kit is amazing, hope you enjoy it :)
don't forget to keep an eye on Karen's Blog for freebies and remember that if you sign up for her newsletter, you will get some freebies too!

as I said,I'm having some *real life* (is the net life not real then? LOL) problems apart from my health conditions, so I wont promise anything but I will most degfinitely try visiting your blogs and pages.
Huggzzz to you all and until the next one !

All is Smooth & we are Sailing!!!!!!!
