At the Museum

This morning I had the privilege of visiting the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. It is absolutely magnificent and awe inspiring.

I made a new furry friend while having breakfast at the Museum's Cafe :-)

And the Winner is...

Congratulations Anikó!!!

Thank you so much for all the lovely birthday wishes! 

It was extra special because of each one of you ♥

Birthday 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!

Variations of Green

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.

Variations of Pink

Different shades of pink I saw today on my walk with Turbo.

Garden Birds

A very fun project I'm working on for a company in the UK.

Weekend

It's a Wrap!

Love being able to make my own wrapping paper with my hand carved stamps. I think I've loved wrapping presents since I was a teen. I have to thank my mom for that. She always took as much care on the wrapping as she did finding the perfect gift for us growing up.
