Being Inspired...

A lovely woman who works in my office came by my desk and complimented me on my necklace. She then asked me if I liked her necklace of various wood beading. She then proceeded to tell me the necklace was originally an ugly necklace she purchased at the thrift store then took it to a bead store and walked around the store being inspired by the different types of beads and metals and then went home took the thrift store necklace apart and recreated her necklace restructuring it with the original wood beads and the beads she purchased at the bead shop. After her story I was amazed for one at how pretty her necklace was but how she took something that wasn't so pretty and allowed herself to be inspired to re-create it to something so beautiful. I was inspired just with that story alone!! I thought that was so amazing.

What inspires you? Who inspires you?

Weekend Fun...

This weekend the weather was rainy and cold. My son's t-ball game was cancelled on Saturday due to the heavy rains. I talked my husband into organizing the garage. I was happy to get rid of alot of stuff I was holding onto and donated it to the Goodwill. Now my garage has alot more space and I feel alot more better.

On Sunday the rains had subsided but it was still very cold outside, but the kids were in desperate need of getting out. We decided to take a walk to the neighborhood park. So we bundled up our two little kiddos and put Sofia on her tricycle and Cristian decided to practice his skateboard skills.

Headed out for our walk!

Its The Little Things....

This morning started out kind of rough but as the day goes by and a pleasant conversation with a friend I'm starting to feel better. As I'm sitting at my desk feeling the sting in my eyes from staring at the computer I happen to glance up and noticed the plant that has been sitting in front of my desk is growing so big and gorgeous! I sat here just looking at this plant for 5 min admiring how beautiful it is....and how a plant like this would look great in my house! Haha!! Don't know why they stuck a pencil in it....never noticed that before...but then again didn't notice the plant either! Sometimes it's the little things that help brighten your day.

Birthday Time with Retro Barbie...

This past Saturday my very good friend's daughter turned 6 years old. My friend is a super career woman and a busy mom and she needed a little help putting together her daughter's sixth birthday. I suggested doing a Retro Barbie theme. My friend loved it and ran with the idea. I helped put together a birthday banner similar to what I did for my daughter's birthday. The birthday was a smashing hit and Miss Bianca had a fabulous time!
