Hey everyone - in case you didn't know, I am headed to Portugal for a week! This weekend, I will be going to Portugal for the engineer's professional society meetings, along with my kids and my parents. If any of you readers out there from Portugal have advice or info, I'd love to have it. We will be spending a few days in both Cascais and Obidos. We will only have hours in Lisboa, from dinner to the next morning. I would love to find some bead stores, tiles, and good wine! If you know of a restaurant we have to go to in Lisboa I'd love the name!
The AE Theme Challenge this month is Repurpose chosen by Lesley. Great subject, and I wish I had more time to work on it. The day job kind of takes away my creative energy at times, and this month is no exception! However I did manage to do a few things! The first thing I thought of for the theme was something I had been thinking about for a long time. I remembered I had this magazine that repurposed those desiccant containers you get in pill bottles into beaded beads. I set out to find that magazine in my stash. I'm glad I found it, because it was actually driving me nuts as to where it was. Here are some photos of me in the process of making some of these beads. So the first one I made, I liked ok. But noticed on the end that you could see the white container through the ends. So I got a sharpie out for the next one, and colored the ends so they didn't look so white. Then I made a few more of these beads, and quite honestly, I was done with...

Have a safe trip.
I'm portuguese but I live in oPorto, nevertheless I know Óbidos: it's one of the most beautiful and peaceful town in Portugal. There, you can see a very blue sky that seems never to end. You will just love it.
And Lisbon, our capital, is a very good town to visit. If you want a restaurant you may go to the "Café Nicola Retaurante". It has a nice decoration and good food. Your kids will love it.Or you can go to the "Varanda de Lisboa" right in the Hotel Mundial.There you will be able to appreciate an excelent view.
Have a good time with your familly!
Huge Hug.
