sharing stories :: happy holidays

hello there, how are you doing? are you having a nice saturday? we woke up to a lovely sunny saturday, there was a long walk early in the morning and an orange and chocolate baked cake! and i was so happy because it came out just right and fluffy! i have one of those traditional ovens, so it’s hard for me to figure out temperatures other than regulating between minimum, medium and high temperatures. and as we have our orange tree loaded with oranges, i have to figure out ways to use the oranges! more pictures on that cake next week!

so it also seems we have landed in the last month of 2012 and there is something free for you – wallpaper backgrounds for your desktop and iphone for free, with a december calendar! i hope you enjoy this! red berries always make me think of the holiday season, so this was special to me!

i hope you enjoy this wallpaper and that this month goes as you thought it would go. though i’m not much of a new year’s resolutions kind of girl, i like to look back and think about the last year, what happened that was good, what i have accomplished, what i have changed in my life… thinking about this gives an overall look of how my life is and makes me think about future goals. and though those resolutions may not be written, i may think of a thing or two! happy december!

ps. as the holidays are coming and a new years approaches how about a photo calendar for you or someone you know and love? there are three editions on my fine art shop!

sharing stories :: joy to the world

hello again, i’m back for a little something i prepared this week for you! i thought that since christmas is my favourite time of the year and i absolutely love everything about it, the fairy lights, the decorations, the homemade cookies, the family get together around the table for hours, i needed to prepare something for you. i started with an idea of designing something to put on my designs shop, but then i figured out that you have been so nice and faithful to this blog, that i could give it away for you! so here it is, a nice and free christmas greeting card!

well, actually there are two! yay! you can download them both for free or choose only one! it’s up to you, as long as you promise to be writing a lot of these greeting cards to your friends and family, ok? it’s a folded card, so that you can write something lovely inside. on the back i wrote “twiggs designs” and “www.hellotwiggs.com” in a small font on the bottom. each sheet has two cards with the same design and you just need to print it on a heavier sheet or cardstock (i used a beautiful textured sheet), and fold it on the thin red lines.

note: these greeting cards are for personal use only, not commercial use. you may not edit, sell or redistribute these as a file, without my written permission. feel free to share these on your blog or facebook, as long as you link back to this post, do not put the file to download from your own blog.

sharing stories :: let’s say thanks in november

yes, halloween is right around the corner… but to be honest, halloween is not one of my dearest celebrations. one that i wish we had here in portugal though is without any doubt, thanksgiving. asides from christmas, which brings us together with our families around the table (for me, this is already a winner characteristic), cozy rooms, fairy lights in our houses, fireplaces and candles, red stripes and peppermint patterns, felt decorations and baker’s twine around the candles and gifts… thanksgiving is about a dear thought – saying thanks for what we have. and as i can only thank you to be where i am today and also to prepare you to think about what you have to thank for, i want to share this november desktop wallpaper with you. it has new york on the background, seen from the rooftop of our airbnb apartment in brooklyn!

and it features one beautiful quote by epicurus:

“do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not. remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”

you can either choose with november calendar on the corner…

make sure you choose the right size, because if you don’t fonts will probably look all distorted and that is not what you want to see, right? new york is too gorgeous to be ruined like that! i hope you enjoy this new resource from a place for twiggs!

sharing stories :: let’s have some fun in october!

yay, i’m late again! but guess what? not as late as september! it’s that time of the month again and this time i decided to mix the calendar with some motivational quote, a quote that i had to search for quite a while until i found it… not! it’s an easy motivational quote to remind you of having fun every day! it doesn’t mean all day long, i get that we all have some boring things to do, even if very small, but those things are there! but other than that, try to enjoy your day and do something that is fun to do, that you enjoy a lot to do, ok? like eat that cake, or that drink you simply love, or buy that magazine today to read on the train while you go back home at the end of the day! pinky promise? nice!
