Believe it or not, I didn't choose to co-sleep, my husband did it for me. During my pregnancy I read several books that talk about co-sleeping and I was decided to put Allison in her crib. I talked about it with V and we both agreed.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then she was born. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We fell in love with her.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And our plans changed.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If I was putting her in her crib, she would start crying. Val couldn't handle it and asked me to let her sleep with me. I did it but telling him that when we arrived home it would not be like that. I was still decided to put Allie in her crib.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then I loved feeling her peacefully sleep.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And my mind changed. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How would I reject that incredible feeling? How would I destroy the bond that was being created? I couldn't do it. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Besides, having a baby is tiring. Not the fact of giving birth, but the fact of taking care of her -specially the first months. A new mum needs to sleep too to be able to give the best of herself to that tiny creature. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, I co -slept and still co-sleep. I have breastfed my daughter and, leaving aside the sentimental part, co-sleeping has allowed me to sleep "through" the night. Nursing her half-awake-half-asleep and both falling asleep together is great! I don't think I had been able to get up every two hours at night, sit on the rocking chair, nurse her, put her back in the crib and fall asleep again. That must be tough!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now I'm thankful to Val for making me discover all the precious moments that I have shared with our daughter.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now that it's coming to an end.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Allie is one and things are changing. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm breastfeeding her twice a day only: for her afternoon nap and at night. Soon it will be only once a day. And then it will be over. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am sad. Maybe more than her. She will probably forget and continue with her life, but I will always remember those moments.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Our</i> moments.</div>

On May 5, this is what my mum ate for breakfast. I cooked it for her -it was Mother's Day in Spain. Since this is typically an American breakfast, I will post the recipe in Spanish. However, for the quantities I will use their <a href="http://homemadefoods.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/measure-cup-11.jpg">Cups and Spoons</a> measurement utensils. </div>
<br />
<u>Ingredientes</u>:<br />
3/4 Cup Leche<br />
2 Tbsp Vinagre de vino blanco<br />
1 Cup Harina<br />
3 Tsbp Azúcar<br />
1 Tsp Levadura<br />
1/2 Tsp Soda<br />
1 Huevo<br />
2 Tbsp Mantequilla derretida<br />
1 Tsp Extracto de vainilla<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Preparación</u>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
En un bol pequeño mezclad la leche con el vinagre y dejadlo reposar unos 10 minutos, así conseguiremos leche agriada (no agria). No os preocupéis que no notaréis el vinagre en el producto final. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mezclad los ingredientes secos en un bol mediano.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pasados los 10 minutos, añadid a la mezcla de leche y vinagre el huevo, la mantequilla derretida (no caliente) y el extracto de vainilla. A continuación, lo vertéis sobre la mezcla de ingredientes secos y mezcláis hasta que no queden grumos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
La masa quedará espesa. Dejadla reposar unos 10 minutos. Entonces veréis que aparecen unas burbujitas, no remováis. Sacad la masa en porciones de 1/4 C y vertedlas en una sartén previamente engrasada. Deberéis darle la vuelta cuando veáis que empiezan a aparece burbujas en la superficie. Un minutito más en la sartén y listas para comer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Nota</u>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aquí las van apilando para que no se enfríen las primeras y las comen con sirope, nata, chocolate, fruta, mermelada... Vamos, que las podéis comer con lo que queráis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

One month since we landed in Houston. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The flight was good, but way too long and tiring since we were traveling with the baby. Allison is such a sweet girl... she didn't cry! I have to admit that that was our biggest concern.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As per the month itself, we have spent at home most of the time organizing stuff, cleaning, cooking... and we have tried to adjust our internal clock to the actual clock, which has been difficult but we made it.<br />
<br />
In between some cool things have happened:<br />

Since Allison was born it has been just the two of us. We had to wait for all my legal paperwork to be accepted to be able to join my husband in Texas. But the waiting time is over: we'll be reunited as a family in October 7.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although I've had my parents around all this time, in certain situations it would have been very helpful to have him near. Sometimes it has been hard, sometimes tiring, sometimes frustrating, but always satisfying. My baby is the cutest (as all babies are for their mums) and I would do anything for her to be happy so she can give me her best smile. That's all I need to forget all the hard, tiring and frustrating times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know adapting our just-the-two-of-us life to the just-the-three-of-us one will not be easy, but we will make it. We will be happier, stronger and... busier, specially Bi Zan and I. But we cannot wait to see Allison grew together, to share the same moments with her, and to love her and let her amaze us every single day of her life. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We cannot wait to be just the three of us.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Before
being a mama, I tend to look at women who were breastfeeding in public, but
with an innocent look. When looking at them I was imagining myself doing the
same in the future because I think it is the most wonderful thing on earth, and
we don’t have to hide it. I believe it creates an unbreakable bond between
mother and baby. It is a unique moment just for the two of them. Now that I am
a mama, I can say that I would never change that time with my baby for nothing
in the whole world. I totally love it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Currently
doctors recommend mothers to breastfeed when the baby demands it, and to forget
about the old theory of doing it every three hours. It isn’t only used to feed
them, but also to calm them down when crying, to relief their stomachache, to
help them sleep… I confess I follow my doctor’s advice: every time I feel she
wants <i>teta</i>, I am more tan pleased of giving it to her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is true
that I have only been a mama for eleven weeks; but since I am breastfeeding
Allie when she demands it from the very first minute she was out of the womb, I
have been able to hear lots of comments about it, comments like “are you giving
her <i>teta</i> again?” or “why don’t you cover her head?”; apart from weird looks
from strangers in the street that make me want to yell at them “I’m not showing
you my <i>teta</i>, I’m just feeding my baby”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Anyway, I’m
happy with the way I’m doing and handling it. No matter where we are, I am
always ready to open my shirt and feed my baby looking at her with a huge smile
on my face. Those people will never make me feel uncomfortable when doing
something so natural. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Since May 17th I am a busy mama. The blog will be on standby mode. I will be concentrated on giving Allison all my love.</div>

I said in January that I'd be making coasters for my friend and my cousin, but February has been a very short month, it went by very fast! So I decided to postpone that project.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead, this is the project I accomplished:</div>

It will be hanging in Allison's bedroom when we move to Houston about three months from now.<br />

I haven't blogged for the past months and I apologize. I've been very busy with school and getting everything ready for our baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This doesn't mean that I haven't had time to SMILE. Here you have the most important moments:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip9RXV8FDJFho_K4ks7ybHLjbfOHu1Ft-KYB8YeOAmAFfTA9caVQ-rg_7rv1WbVN7PzaKD4MxLLf9QuKRf3rCetHBYDvtInpys0_VdyfCMaLp6ykv_Xd4vAAiHx1J9mZkFFsJ9eSOG_Z1n/s1600/Smile03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip9RXV8FDJFho_K4ks7ybHLjbfOHu1Ft-KYB8YeOAmAFfTA9caVQ-rg_7rv1WbVN7PzaKD4MxLLf9QuKRf3rCetHBYDvtInpys0_VdyfCMaLp6ykv_Xd4vAAiHx1J9mZkFFsJ9eSOG_Z1n/s400/Smile03.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">snow | sunset | st. valentine's | coffee with </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">friends and happy news (Maria is pregnant </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">again) | Allison's teeny tiny clothes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apart from those moments, there is a very special one: we get to see Allison in 4D. That was pretty exciting!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It was kind of a challenge for me because that was my first quilt ever! I think it has turned out pretty nice. Although it's not perfect, it's made with love and that's the most important :)</div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QCl8lUNBBmA/TyxG2Xe2AVI/AAAAAAAABOo/DVAhE8OHIR8/s1600/Quilt008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QCl8lUNBBmA/TyxG2Xe2AVI/AAAAAAAABOo/DVAhE8OHIR8/s400/Quilt008.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The documentation phase involved reading some blogs of really good quilters! They make such amazing things... The two of them that I liked the most are: <a href="http://quiltingintherain.blogspot.com/">Quilting in the rain</a> and <a href="http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/">Crazy mom quilts</a>.</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">This are the steps I've followed: </div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"> 1. Cutting the fabric</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2P7Z4P5Jog0/TyVN9GA_7eI/AAAAAAAABNc/jizWNtAfoKU/s1600/Quilt1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2P7Z4P5Jog0/TyVN9GA_7eI/AAAAAAAABNc/jizWNtAfoKU/s400/Quilt1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div> 2. Assembling the pieces</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oscfDtlWyHY/TyVOQvr5swI/AAAAAAAABNk/ssRHoH8a4u4/s1600/Quilt2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oscfDtlWyHY/TyVOQvr5swI/AAAAAAAABNk/ssRHoH8a4u4/s400/Quilt2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div> 3. Putting together the three layers</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jVbQNz0BCPo/TyVOieXRI7I/AAAAAAAABNs/idUrN9-Uwjc/s1600/Quilt3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jVbQNz0BCPo/TyVOieXRI7I/AAAAAAAABNs/idUrN9-Uwjc/s400/Quilt3.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div> 4. Machine basting<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZJhuYqTOqFc/TyxGp5uZaLI/AAAAAAAABOg/0vWbhY3heMQ/s1600/Quilt009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZJhuYqTOqFc/TyxGp5uZaLI/AAAAAAAABOg/0vWbhY3heMQ/s400/Quilt009.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"> 5. Sewing the binding (machine and hand stitch). For this step, I followed <a href="http://quiltingintherain.blogspot.com/2011/05/binding-blind-stitching-tutorial.html">this</a> tutorial.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HsrRaFIwHlE/TyVOzTzwJdI/AAAAAAAABN0/UnKkU8DeLpE/s1600/Quilt5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HsrRaFIwHlE/TyVOzTzwJdI/AAAAAAAABN0/UnKkU8DeLpE/s400/Quilt5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Really happy with the result, I can't deny it. Challenge overcome!</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next month: I'm planning to make some coasters for one of my cousins and for a friend. They have recently moved to a new place and I noticed they didn't have them. Hehe! Documentation phase starts NOW!</div></div><div><br />

It was my father's birthday and we went to a restaurant to have lunch. He was really happy that day and his happiness rubbed off on us that much that on our way to the car we took some silly pictures...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e82UO-v7T_0/TyVJ2hS1HpI/AAAAAAAABNQ/uKwwF9KzyJA/s1600/Smile2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e82UO-v7T_0/TyVJ2hS1HpI/AAAAAAAABNQ/uKwwF9KzyJA/s400/Smile2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">This weeks SMILE was caused by the fact that our baby girl's nose is going to look just like her father's. The doctor did another ultrasound and we could clearly see it. It was sooo cool! I can't wait to see her again. Sorry, but I'm not posting any picture of our baby until she's born, that's how we decided it to be, I hope you understand. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Yesterday I worked on my project: a quilt for Allison. I have already all of the pieces for the back and front and the next step will be sewing. I'm so excited that I'm going to finish it on time!</div><br />

I had a lot of reasons to SMILE last week but the one that I felt the most was the one you can see represented in that picture.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">He opened his Reyes gifts with the excitement and innocence of a kid and I loved it. That’s the way gifts should be unwrapped. He really wanted to get that F. C. Barcelona T-shirt and his face mirrored it. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Some other moments that made me SMILE were watching Valéry feeling Allison’s kicks, meeting Cristina and Germán for lunch, watching Maya playing in the sand, spending Reyes’ eve in the theatre putting smiles on children’s faces or unwrapping my own gifts. But the most important moment was spending the whole week with my husband after three months of being apart: I really missed him. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Let’s see what moments this new week brings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Duniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00982012655568857534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648839522466284369.post-47595443137085714662012-01-08T08:00:00.003+01:002012-01-08T11:42:23.134+01:002012 goals<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G4ulpItVoAI/Twly1AHVFaI/AAAAAAAABMI/FUpmfVBebIs/s1600/2012GOALS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G4ulpItVoAI/Twly1AHVFaI/AAAAAAAABMI/FUpmfVBebIs/s400/2012GOALS.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Since setting a lot of goals stresses me out and I end up doing nothing, I have decided my goals to be kinda flexible. Let me explain myself. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Last year I wrote a list of 28 things to do during my 28<sup>th</sup> year. 28 things? These are too many things to accomplish and four months later I decided not to follow my own list. All those goals overwhelmed me. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">So, as a solution, I have decided to reduce that list to 3 big goals. It looks way easier to me, having in mind that I am still a student and a momma-to-be. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The first one is called “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">12 months -> 12 projects</i>”. The last week of every month I will come up with a new project for the following month and I will post the previous one finished. The January project will be sewing a quilt for my baby girl. I have to say that I have never done a quilt before so it is also a challenge for me. I have been reading several blogs of quilting women and I think I know how it works. We will see how it will turn out. This does not mean that I will not create anything else apart from those 12 big projects, I will, I promise I will. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The second one is related to “<i>Sew Yellow</i>”, the brand that I started with my friend Maria. More info on that very soon. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">And, the third goal will be posting regularly. I must create a habit because when I update my blog I feel happy and good and it really makes me smile. <o:p></o:p></span></div>Duniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00982012655568857534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648839522466284369.post-54211605436217657322012-01-07T10:59:00.004+01:002012-01-07T11:02:00.565+01:00My word for 2012: SMILE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-didgjE44nvw/TwgW2NlmGRI/AAAAAAAABL8/VMvLjzcGa-c/s1600/PinkWhite_TeresaQuote.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-didgjE44nvw/TwgW2NlmGRI/AAAAAAAABL8/VMvLjzcGa-c/s400/PinkWhite_TeresaQuote.jpg" width="308" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

We all participate so somebody puts all of our names in a bag and each one of us pick one paper with the name of the person that they have to give a little gift. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And today is the day. We have to bring the gifts and after classes we will open them and try to guess who has given it to us. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This what I got for my "amigo": </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vUwIwe7iKiY/TvLvAnSKQmI/AAAAAAAABLI/Y1I2rbSTCUo/s1600/AmigoInvisible.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vUwIwe7iKiY/TvLvAnSKQmI/AAAAAAAABLI/Y1I2rbSTCUo/s400/AmigoInvisible.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

Here are some of the pages:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq-bnAvmxr-B9Gm7zWve714f8v92JQ9DXqoX5LQ5En6picYNU2LUcz6De_0LnpfCw2ZJbajsIBROEccSQD2scPscuxNRTGzkHOYXOaAFqol28i8Snz_UkaKJ1bbl4Tjy7EBBuS7rCZ_qC0/s1600/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq-bnAvmxr-B9Gm7zWve714f8v92JQ9DXqoX5LQ5En6picYNU2LUcz6De_0LnpfCw2ZJbajsIBROEccSQD2scPscuxNRTGzkHOYXOaAFqol28i8Snz_UkaKJ1bbl4Tjy7EBBuS7rCZ_qC0/s400/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q-JkVP-1NZY/Tts-a4sOjBI/AAAAAAAABKc/GaLBfj1z6bg/s1600/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q-JkVP-1NZY/Tts-a4sOjBI/AAAAAAAABKc/GaLBfj1z6bg/s400/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cIhvyaVKSrU/Tts-cxbg7nI/AAAAAAAABKk/0Ch7V4B847A/s1600/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cIhvyaVKSrU/Tts-cxbg7nI/AAAAAAAABKk/0Ch7V4B847A/s400/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TPHAEHMty8w/Tts-fAS84bI/AAAAAAAABKs/rwwyLJ-gMOc/s1600/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TPHAEHMty8w/Tts-fAS84bI/AAAAAAAABKs/rwwyLJ-gMOc/s400/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is the first time I decided to do something on a daily basis and I succeed. Just to make sure it hasn't been something temporary, I'm going to start a Winter one. I haven't bought it at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/elisejoy">Elise's shop</a> like the Fall Minibook, I had some Christmas and winter look patterned papers and I'm going to assemble it myself, let's see if it works... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Xh7RhFG8oV9uOITxzj4pKLN9zeZZCJUzE2aoknziJgPOmSZTECJxpcntR4AoqSBhMjbW7UAZZkXSOm75Om1OHy692PKwj2_EOeqPj_SjA0LkFxPm62j4dJWMYw7OeklKx4DAQ5PzH6KF/s1600/PapelesInvierno.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Xh7RhFG8oV9uOITxzj4pKLN9zeZZCJUzE2aoknziJgPOmSZTECJxpcntR4AoqSBhMjbW7UAZZkXSOm75Om1OHy692PKwj2_EOeqPj_SjA0LkFxPm62j4dJWMYw7OeklKx4DAQ5PzH6KF/s400/PapelesInvierno.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My purpose is to document a whole year using four minibooks. So, three to go :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apart from that, I have had an idea for a while in my mind now. Valery wanted me to do it by myself when I definitely moved to the US but I need somebody to tell me: "hey, this needs to be done by friday!"So I called my friend Maria, I explained to her my idea and she loved it! She actually had that too but she also needed somebody else, ha! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, a couple of weeks later we started this:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0gQPurLasr8/Tts7nyiDJBI/AAAAAAAABKI/p14QtNdqutk/s1600/Logo01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0gQPurLasr8/Tts7nyiDJBI/AAAAAAAABKI/p14QtNdqutk/s400/Logo01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Right now we are in the "making stuff phase", we are going to start uploading pictures on our page in Facebook and trying to sale it to retailers. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Busy like crazy at this moment but I'm going to make it, definitely! I'm motivated and excited. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">World, there we go!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">P.S.: Another tiny big announcement will be made soon :)</span></div>Duniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00982012655568857534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648839522466284369.post-61689596604815482812011-10-07T09:05:00.003+02:002011-10-07T09:15:02.696+02:00Fall, Fall, Fall?<div style="text-align: justify;">I got up this morning and... surprise! The sky was all grey, it was cold and windy! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iQIy1Xy_Gjk/To6lMmQlBEI/AAAAAAAABBk/Zr2tTt2W250/s1600/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iQIy1Xy_Gjk/To6lMmQlBEI/AAAAAAAABBk/Zr2tTt2W250/s400/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-4.jpg" width="362" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What does that mean? What is that sky bringing? Is Fall coming back? </div>Duniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00982012655568857534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648839522466284369.post-38194159321818166582011-10-07T08:58:00.000+02:002011-10-07T08:58:21.768+02:00Quick Update<div style="text-align: justify;">Lately, I have been working on the Fall MiniBook that I bought at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/elisejoy">Elise's shop</a>. Here is the first page, more on that this weekend. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0c_VQ8CMKFE/To6i-k1i5_I/AAAAAAAABBY/7mUdOQ98Gz0/s1600/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0c_VQ8CMKFE/To6i-k1i5_I/AAAAAAAABBY/7mUdOQ98Gz0/s400/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have also finished the CD and Thank You cards for all the friends and relatives that came to our wedding, they should be receiving that by now. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W3SLtzlX0OU/To6iYt6huxI/AAAAAAAABBU/MIJWVTA45U0/s1600/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W3SLtzlX0OU/To6iYt6huxI/AAAAAAAABBU/MIJWVTA45U0/s400/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And I have also started our mini honeymoon album...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mrzAiKRbpxo/To6hvRU1PsI/AAAAAAAABBQ/jgGgekXsVfY/s1600/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mrzAiKRbpxo/To6hvRU1PsI/AAAAAAAABBQ/jgGgekXsVfY/s400/Sin+ti%25CC%2581tulo-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm totally busy with my classes and work that I can hardly focus on my hobbies. Anyway, I always find a little bit of time to work on it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Oh, quick update on the previous post. It looks like Fall went back to where he was before appearing a few weeks ago... it's sunny and hot all day long :(</span></div>Duniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00982012655568857534noreply@blogger.com0
