I was born in Angola and I live in Portugal since 6 years old. I LOVE and colect cats, anything with cats will please me! My special softies are sock pals, but I can do a lot of other things... I love swaps. (I'm economist, and I work as general manager, I also have a design company with my husband, but I only do the numbers...)

Favorite Crafts

CATS!!! love hand made softies, bags, bijoux (not earings or rings), pincutions, pins... Love fabrics (colorfull, with cats, small flowers, polka dots, rainbaws, ... ) Also love & collect ribbons (mostly embroidered), buttons, yarns, anything to make crafts, because is my hobbie! Love stationary items, mostly kaway and vintage, postcards, note pads, stickers, anything with cats or kaway! I´m allways happy with any kind of swaps, but if it includes a cat item, uhau, I'll increase my cat collection! Vintage stationary, hello kitty, chococat...

My Babies

I have a baby boy (born may 2007) - he is lovely!

And 2 lovely cats - a tuxedo - Nika (13 years); and a striped one - Canita (5 years). Puuuurrrrrr.( I had a beatifull and wonderfull black kitty - Whitie, but she missed since 4th july...)

I allways LOVE to receive

a package made with love and attention to my profile. sometimes in this swaps we only look at the rules, I love when a cat (any kind) is on my parcel! I allways put a lot of love, time and money on my packages, and I hate when I see my partner didn´t did it...

I LOVE to receive: something with cats!!! I´m a compulsive collector, and CATS are my favorite! anything! I don´t apreciate real cats in stationary, but if you can´t find anything else... ist´s ok! I love to receive fabric and ribbon with cats! now I also collect kaway stationary, love it!

the list: - cat softie (any material, any technique)

  • hand made stuff (cats, softies or something for me, like bags tote bags, ...)

  • craft materials - yarn (good quality and bold/bright colors), ribbons (embroidered, jackard ribbon, color and vintage, allways 1 yard minimum, please), buttons, FABRICS (I'm a member of "Fabric addictid"...), socks (I make sock babies), anything related with crafts...

  • stationary, stickers, postcards, anything related (but I don´t do scrapbooking or papel crafts...)

  • KAWAY stationary

  • Hello Kitty (anything, but if is badge, a fabric or stationary... great)

  • Chococat - I love it, and I can´t find it where I live...

  • tea, chocolate (to make hot chocolat or real bars...)

about the colours: now I´m in the mood for orange&yellow or purple&white... allways love pink, purple, blue, white, and the combo with pink (white, brown or black), and combo with blue (pink, brown, black)...

Comment: Very lovely card, thank you! My grandpa will love the stamp if I can get it off the card without ruining either. My mum and dad went to Portugal when I was little, so they thought it was quite neat to see a card from there after so long :)
