Happy Quilling

I am soooo glad to announce you all that starting from this moment I am the proud owner of an Etsy Store! I am so excited!!!

Ever starting following blogs and blogging myself I've seen crafters from all over the world selling and showing their work on Etsy, but I always had the idea that it must be a very complicated thing to manage such an online store. Lately, though, at the proposal of more friends, I've been encouraged to create such a store myself, in order to facilitate people from everywhere to be able to purchase my cards, if wanted. So, here it is!

The Shop's address is:

For the moment, I've only posted 6 cards, but I plan adding more in time, so stay around to follow my work there, too!

Also, I will post here soon too, so stay tuned!

But,
Until next time,
Behave And Quill!

First of all, I am sorry for not posting this earlier, but during the last two days I've been very ill and today has been the first day I was able to get off the bed and do a couple of chores.
The first time I received this award from Loredana I was quite surprised and happy. Then, a couple of days later, the second nomination came from Helen, and I got actually excited - two in a row?! But when I found the third nomination (!!!) this morning from Clara I said Wow! I couldn't believe my eyes! Girls, thank you all so much, I am sincerely impressed by your nominations and by your compliments and consideration for me and my work!
So, to summarize so far, I received "The Versatile Blogger Award" from:

• Loredana from handmade ( http://mayabijoux.blogspot.com )
• Helen from Let's create ( http://helenmade.blogspot.com )
• Clara from Clara's Origami ( http://cridiana-origami.blogspot.com ) You can view her other nominations here: http://cridiana-origami.blogspot.com/p/tags.html

This virtual award goes forward to 15 wonderful bloggers, as the award asks. These would be:

I intentionally left the 7 things about me in the end, because honestly it's quite hard to find 7 interesting things to say about me, but I have to try. So, wish me luck and here they are:

1. I have discovered Quilling less than a year ago, during the summer exam session, accidentally, but my passion grew so fast on me!
2. I chose to come to college to Cluj-Napoca (450 km away from my home), although I could go to Bucharest (only 60 km away from my hometown) only because I wasn't big fond of the latter city. I've never regretted my decision.
3.A couple of my other "sinful" and crafty passions are Gobelin tapestry, Stamping and, when I was a little girl, Painting and Paper Cutting.
4.I have been singing in a gospel choir called "Voces" for 2 years now. You can listen to us on our Youtube channel here. Enjoy! :)
5.I have been obsessed with shoes all my life. I still love them, still look at them when I go shopping, but my "obsessive-compulsive disorder" (:P) moved now on stationery, papers, strips, card stock, inks, adhesives and stamps. Could I consider I've been healed or got worse? :))
6. Although I have a driver's licence, I never drive. I consider myself desastruos in front of the wheel. Believe me, I am not exagerating!
7.And last, but not least, my ultimate dream in this life is a big, white, bright and full-of-supplies craft room! I could give up everything in this world for that (well, almost...:P)!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I promise that I'll come back very soon, because I have a couple of sweet things to show you!

Until then, don't forget,
Behave And Quill!

I just entered my first Stamping competition with what is actually my first ever made stamped card! The Challenge is being held by Gina K. from Gina K. Designs, on stamp TV, her website. You can come and see my card here, and, if you are a member you can leave your comment there. Or, if you want, you can see my card here...

...and leave your comments in the section.
I must admit I have fallen in love with Gina K.'s stamps ever since I've first discovered her Youtube Channel, which is simply amazing - you should check it when you have time. The stamps I used for this card are not from her collection (because, sadly, I couldn't find any of her stamps where I live) - but I hope I'll be able to stamp soon with her beautiful designs. So thanks for visiting and I'll be waiting for your opinions!

Until next time,
Behave And Quill...or Stamp!

I just discovered the most amazing giveaway I've seen so far! Ann Martin from All Things Paper, one of my personal favorite artists when talking about Quilling, interviewed another GREAT artist: Diane Boden Crane, from J. J. Quilling, my favorite supplies site (from which I didn't have the opportunity to order paper...yet!)
You can imagine my awe and my delight when I saw her work on Ann's blog! She's making this awesome, incredibly beautiful things, that most of us only dream about when talking about Quilling! If you don't believe me, watch
And, because Diane is such a wonderful person, she is giving away 12 (!!!) packs of quilling paper from her site, through Ann's blog! Does it have any sense to tell you HOW MUCH I'd LOVE to win this giveaway? :)) Guess not. But I am totally thrilled about the idea! Wouldn't you be the same? ;))
Wish me luck!
Until next time,
Behave And Quill!
