Birthday Giveaway!

B-Day giveaway
I'm celebrating my 45th birthday today and as Sugar Ray Leonard wisely said 'it's better to give than to receive' so I want to give y'all a chance to share in the joy with this little giveaway. The prize is one of my original watercolors "Peonies", a typical Mexican 70% chocolate bar and a small bouquet of paper flowers. Leave a comment this weekend for a chance to win. I will pick a random name on Monday morning (Mexican time).

***Comments are now closed. I will chose a random winner and announce it later today.
Thank you so much for all the birthday love, you guys are the best!

Gate
Nasturtiums
Beautiful trio
Now all the pretty greens I saw yesterday. 
We went on a short road trip with Manolo & the boys to the nearby town of Avandaro. The countryside was gorgeous and brimming with blooming cosmos & fall wild flowers.
We saw shepherds with their sheep, roaming cows and beautiful horses galloping with their foals. There a few things I enjoy more than road trips during this time of year.
