Long time no see~

Hi everybody.It has been a while since my last publication and I.m still not back with any quilled work. I haven.t found any time to do that anymore. But I will. Soon I promise. Till then how about I share some of my thoughts?

As I already told I am not a good writer and I am terrible with words. I find soo many of you that can express themselves through words that I am jealous of you. Seriosly. There have been a few days since I kept thinking of writting  but  I still haven.t came up with some concrete words  so I decided to just go with it.What can go wrong??
 Thats the way I have decided to begin my life as a student. It has been 3 weeks already and I feel like I can.t cope with anything and all is too much.  But I just realised that I am making it more difficult. I am making this experience soo awful that I am afraid I won.t enjoy it. I can.t have that.

So today I just signed up to join  AIESEC , an international volunteering organization for students in my town. Thinking of my last 4 years I found out that I didnt do much...I studyied..got good grades..made a few friends in my class but thats about it..I didnt do anything else and I could have done soo much more. I should.ve volunteer..I should.ve sign for competitions.. Soo..like a good girl that I am I decided to change that and learn from my mistakes to make my experience as a student a great one and learn as much as possible. and I strongly believe AIESEC is going to help me do just that.
A few hours ago I was unsure..I would read all about it and try to fill in the registration form but couldn.t find the courage to send it but luckily for me I found this blog, Jacqueline's blog, where she tells her readers how her choice with  AIESEC was one of the best.[she was a member a few years ago] She speaks of all the things she learned from them and all the great experiences she had that she just convinced me..she made me go right ahead ..in the end What Can go wrong?? It can.t hurt right?It can.t kill me thats for sure.
She also made me realise that life is short and I can.t lose the precious time..and that if I want to do something to go all in or not at all.

 So I am full of determination today..lets hope that won.t fade out..seeing my past:)) but I am determined to go all in and to finally go according to my motto : "Shut up and run" heheh.
I am not sure if my thoughts got out the way I wanted but one thing is for sure..after sharing this I feel so much better and I feel like now I HAVE to do everything to accomplish my goals. I also hope that I can inspire those who are still uncertain and don.t know what to do to find theiir way. Life is too short to waste it with things half done. Just do what you do best but do it great.Go all IN~

Till next time take care of you and I hope you won.t forget me and my blog. I promise I will come back with some quilled stuff. i have some ideas. Please anticipate it.


*hugs*

First of all hii everyone~How were you?I know i know I.ve been busy with studying and I still am. I have 3 exams this week.Awful.but I .ve been meaning to post about the award I have received from Susan. Thank you very very much. It means soo much to me.You don.t even know. I feel honoured . to be honest I never expected to receive it. I have made this blog to share my work and to inspire other crafters or future crafters out there just like I have been inspired by many,including you Susan.Thank you alot.








ABOUT THE AWARD


Liebster is a German word meaning "Beloved," "Favorite," or "Dearest." This award is a peer to peer award in which fellow bloggers present the award to their favorite bloggers with less than 200 followers. The origins of this award is unclear, but is believed to have originated by a German blogger. This award was designed to be a blog award in the pay it forward fashion to share your dearest and most beloved blogs that have less than 200 followers.








RULES FOR ACCEPTANCE


Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog. Post the award onto your blog. Give the award to five bloggers who you appreciate that have less than 200 followers. Leave a comment on their blog letting them know that you have given them this awesome award!






PAY IT FORWARD
Now comes the hard part… choosing another 5! Wow not an easy task. What helped is that many of the blogs that I like have received it already so I’m passing on to some that haven’t yet received the award and that have less than 200 followers. And of course all those blogs are some that I really love, follow and that give me inspiration!


Now I know that you ,Susan, got this award already but I have to mention that you are one of my favourite bloggers out there. You always inspire me not only with you wonderful crafts but also with your warm and kind heart. Your visit always brings a smile on my face. Thank you for becoming a great friend.

Cridiana's Paper Garden Now,I don.t know how many followers she actually has buut I believe she deserves this award. She is an awesome crafter and I simply loove all of  her work. It is always a delight to visit her blog . And i am certain that you will love her work too. She does alot of origami combined with some bits of quilling .There is this thing though that  I love about her and her work. She always comes up with a story for her projects . I could talk more buut I believe you better check it out yourselves.

Eileen's Love In Envelope I really admire her and her work. She does such beautiful and elegant cards .She doesn't use many quilled elements but her work still looks stunning. Simple yet elegant. That's how I.d describe her work. Always a pleasure to visit her.

Paula's Chillin with Quillin I know i know she has a bit over 200 followers but I really admire her work. Really. Just go on her blog and you will be amazed of her work. Such amazing quilling projects. She.s such a pleasure to visit.

Cristina Leau I simply loove her blog. From time to time I love to visit her and challenge myself with some of her projects.I mean she has soo much patience to do such amazing works. you will see what I.m talking about if you check her blog.

Cristina's Fun Quilling She is one of my first inspirations I believe. Such beautiful designs and  i just wish I can manage to make at least half as good and wonderful as hers. Always a great pleasure to visit her blog and to delight myself with great projects. Thank you for being such an inspiration.

Now I may not have managed to express my Love for these blog very well but you should definetly take some of you time and visit these incredible people. Have fun ~

Later edit: There is this one person though that I forgot to mention. I am sorry but I hope you will forgive me. I will break the rule a bit and give this award to 6 people instead.
 Pooja's Reusing with Quilling . Her blog is simply beautiful as well as her work. What I really love about her is that she doesnt stick with one technique [like I do. :)] but combines so many .There is this project I saw on her blog once with  these flowers that she  made with dried corn.I mean what??I could never think of that. And they look soo cute. heheh Please visit her too~

It isnt really what I hoped to make in the beginning but that.s the beauty of art. You really don.t know what you end up making untill the finish. So yeah.I.m pretty glad with the result. Can.t wait to frame it and hang it somewhere.  


Here is my source of inspiration:

Back with new stuff~ Martisoare

Hei everybody.How have you been??First of all I wanna wish u a Happy Belated New Year~ I know its been 3 months already since my last update but I really didn.t expect to have soo little free time. I am so sorry.


Anyway..since spring is coming I thought I ought to welcome it with a new theme. I had soo much trouble with deciding which one is best  and after finding one to get it work properly. In the end I stuck with a simple and yet elegant one. I like it alot and  hope you will too.

And..in terms of quilling I am welcoming lady Spring with some little tokens.As some know already it is tradition[at least in Romania] to exchange "martisoare" in the first week of March to celebrate the  rebirth of nature.I am not sure how they are called in other languages but in romanian they are martisoare:)

These ones are my favourite~I made them last year too  and most people liked them as much as I did.


 For now I have made only nuances of red.I.m thinking I ought to make some blue ones,or other colours too.



I have also made some cute butterflies and flowers~














Also I am ready to make some new ones~ As long as I have free time.:)


Have a great day and I promise i won.t take this long to update next time.

Hi there~ So I decided I want to start keeping track of my readings. I started reading just a few years ago and I have to say I fell in love. I love it. At first I mostly read books for school but I found out that it is actually fun and I started looking for other stuff.
Right now I mainly loove books with supernatural stuff and mysteries but I love me some "clever" books from time to time too.
My goal right now is to read all Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes adventures and Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot investigations.

And one of my fav quotes is~

Now I am aware that this has nothing to do with my quilling work but  it is a little project I always wanted to start and who knows?Maybe I will inspire someone else to start it too.

Ok so..I didn.t keep track of all the books I.ve read so far so I.m gonna put what I remember I read separately and start a new list with books I started reading since this year. I wanna see how far I go. Dunno how much I.m gonna read but ...it.s a challenge I.ll gladly accept.:) My goal??to reach 100 books by the end of this year.. 



I am not very good at reviewing so if you.d like me to recommend you something in particular from my list please ask me and I.ll see what I can do.

A new experience!

Hi everybody!! Long time no see. How have you been?
I have done soo many things since my last post but not so much quilling I admit. I only have 1 work done since... March? Wow, that is a while.

The reason I haven't quilled so much is because of my studies but mainly because of AIESEC, the biggest international organization run by students for students. I have joined the organization in Spring and since then I kept busy. I chose to be part of the communication department because I really want to learn more about branding, advertising and copywriting. Like this, my last quilled work has been the logo for my department. Since I first saw it I said: "It looks perfect for quilling!" and so I did it.
This is the end result:




Doesn't it look really colourful and nice? Perfect for quilling.

As a promise, before I end my first post in months, I will start quilling again. I already have 2 projects in process of making soo please anticipate them.

Have a great evening and take good care of you!
Ahh I soo miss this. On my way to visit all my "crafting buddies!".

*hugs*

Hei there. How was your weekend?? I finally got some time to quill. Yay me!
It was my bestfriend's birthday yesterday and I got to make her a present. Because she loves chocolate, as do I;x, I finally got to make a box of quilled chocolates. It's my first try and I think they turned out quite nice.

I'm planning on doing some more quite soon.

What do you think?:p










I'm really proud of the box though. After so many calculations I finally made it!! I;m soo glad. And it turned out soo cute.

Hi there everyone. It's been a while right? I remember how only a few months back I used to come here and write and share my thoughts and quilled stuff. It's been a while but now I've decided to slowly, slowly start again. I actually miss it.
So, first work for this year? Some beautiful butterflies to welcome Spring properly.

Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little sunshine. 
~Jeffrey Glassberg


Look forward to the end result:D
