A couple of weeks ago we went to LACMA. It’s always so refreshing and inspiring. Pablo Picasso’s collection stuck with me the most. There is something about his work that always gets me. Do I need to to say more? Here are some of my all time favorites from this amazing artist. Wish we could own one of his pieces. A girl can dream right?

I found some pictures from the last time we visited the flea Market. It just took me a bit longer than usual to post these. The rest from this day you can find here & here. Flea market pictures are my fave. Visiting one is always fun. You never know what you might find. As always, I wish I took some of these things home with me. Enjoy!

Mother’s day is around the corner. Isn’t that crazy? This year is flying by. This particular holiday I think is always the perfect one to give your mom something you make yourself. It might bring back memories from when you made little projects in school as a kid. therefore it will always bring a big smile to their face, at least that’s what I believe. After seeing this picture on Pinterest (here) and reading this post from Clever Charlotte, I got inspired to create some notes to send to those special ladies in my life. Spoiler alert Mom and Debbie! HAHA The materials you will need you probably already have at home. The final product is simple, cute and handmade! What else can you ask for?

Materials:

• Scrapbook paper (I used a cardboard looking one)
• Felt.
• Scissors.
• Needle and thread.

Start by cutting a little heart out of felt. Cut the paper whatever size you want to make your note. Sew your heart into your card. That simple! Aren’t they cute? You can write something on them, or not. Up to you!

You can create these for any occasion. I’m sure they will make any gift more special. Do you like making things for your mom & friends too? Do you prefer buying them?

Hope you get inspired!

As I was taking a walk with our puppy the other day & I suddenly found myself staring at some pine trees. Am I crazy? Maybe a little. Let me explain… Growing up there were a ton of pine trees at this little park I used to play at, and these trees reminded me of that. The trunks are huge, wide, simply gorgeous. Of course, I was drawn to take their pictures. Then, I remembered a poem my grandpa wrote in Matarile, one of his children’s poetry books. Then this was born…

Yes, my grandpa wrote it & I love it! The poem, titled “Pine Tree” translates to something like this:

The sky creates green nuts,

that the little squirrel unties

with the help of her little teeth.

Pine tree:

A long and wide road

halfway to the sky.

- Efrain Subero

I like to get inspired at random places, as seen here and here.

Do you like Pine trees too? Do you find yourself inspired or traveling with your mind to random places too?

Hope you get inspired!

Who doesn’t love popcorn? It’s the perfect snack! Sweet or salty. There is a special kind for everybody. I particularly love, love, love caramel popcorn. I have to admit, I have also dipped popcorn in “nacho cheese” sauce and it’s pretty darn good. Yes, you can judge me, but only if you try it too! Anyways, popcorn is one of my faves and there are so many cute pictures out there that I thought it would be nice to share a few. I found so many cute theme parties while looking for these that my brain is kind of fried.

Isn’t that popcorn bar the coolest? One day I’ll have to make one. Do you like popcorn too? What’s your favorite kind?

Yes, I mentioned him before on one of my Friday picks (here). He is everywhere nowadays. From SNL to every radio station in the world, to California. On that last place is where I found him. A couple of weeks ago I got a chance to go see him live and what a show it was. The whole experience was a bit surreal. The animations on a screen behind the stage for every song were amazing. His voice was just like in the album. That’s a big thing for me with live shows. When you can tell an artist has been way over produced on a track and the live version sounds nothing like the album. Yeah, he wasn’t even close to that. At one point the live versions were way better than the album. At the end I fell even more in love with his songs. Here are some of my favorite pics, once again they were taken with my phone but I still love them. If you want to listen to my favorite song, while looking through the pics, just click here. Disclaimer: it isn’t “Somebody That I Used To Know”.

Are you a Gotye fan? What’s your favorite song? What shows have you been to lately?

Hope you smile!

I’ve been really into stamps lately. I’ve been packaging away necklaces from my shop and I always like to add a little detail to each package. Stamps are the perfect solution to take your “gift wrapping” to the next level. Some stamps are even easy to make yourself using foam sheets (tutorial coming soon). Take a look at some stamps on my wish list.

So cute!

Mondays. The day everyone can’t stand. The day that always brings you back to reality. The day you never want to come. Too extreme? Maybe. True? Yes. I wish weekends were longer sometimes. Today is not only Monday, but it’s my Mom’s birthday. Is a day that makes me wish we lived closer so we could all spend it together. Love you Mom! Here is a print that made me smile and identified with my day.

Do you like Mondays? Or do you hate them? What’s your take?

Hope you smile!
