Hello Gorgeous

¡Wow! I started my day with this exciting news, Apple's presentation of their iPad. It's beautiful and I believe going to become one of our very favorite gadgets.

Every one has a story

And it's all about that, sometimes we are lucky in life, and we don't even see it. To most of the people it's about being born somewhere in the map, where we're able to have opportunities to survive, succeed, learn, grow, become.

Rosa Loves it's about awareness, and I really love that. They actually take a step forward and do things to improve their surrounding, there are several stories and people they help through creativity and clothing.

¿Wouldn't be nice to have a kind of Rosa Loves in every community around the world?. It would just make it easier, we could educate ourselves by acting, get to discover our humanity and hopefully pass it to our kids.

Such an inspiration.

There it goes

A beautiful way of portraying the tragic end of an idea. I personally think that mine end up like in the second picture.

I could name my little box of wasted ideas "Le guillotine", it's just more fancy than trash. Coincidentally most of my proposals are cute and accessorized with quite a "Marie Antoinette" style (Sofia Coppola's version).

Laguntza Haití

Imagino que la mayoría se ha enterado de la situación por la que pasa Haití, en la web de UNICEF España se han habilitado cuentas para hacer donativos, de poco en poco podemos llegar a dar una gran aportación a los niños que allí representan casi el 50% de la población.

Laguntza Haití significa Ayuda Haití en euskera, he creado este ícono para distribuir el mensaje de UNICEF País Vasco de una forma un poco más gráfica, creo que lo que he aprendido al estar rodeada de pobreza (en Monterrey) es que ante la adversidad y muchas veces el dolor, la gente que menos tiene mantiene una sonrisa, y eso es admirable.

Si puedes colabora.

Christmas Mood

Christmas is here already!! And I still haven't finished the extra little details I planned for this year. Work has really taken all my time.

Lucky for us, Amy Moss, had the amazing gesture of sharing with us this lovely templates, she made downloadable mail gift tags, gift tags and treat bags.

Remember to link to her website or to add her credit on the prints, it's the least we can do if we use them. (I suspect lovely M and K are definitively going to).

Get your printers ready and get into some ¡christmas mood!

Love

I've been reading Carole Guevin's blog since 2003, not only it has an impecable technical aspect and functionality, but also a great deal of commitment with creativity and sharing. I look up to people like her, because of her ideas and personality, her talent and compromise with our humanity, dreams, wishes, art.

I write about her because of the LOVE post she published, she shares with us a beautiful gift, even when she's going through moments of grief, how admirable.

Thank you Carole, LOVE for you and your family.

To all of us, let's spread the LOVE. Above the poster, which is available for free download to share and print.

The Growing Self

As I grow older I keep getting more experiences, more mistakes, more dreams, but with them they come all this responsibilities. Most of the time I get caught in between what I have to do, and what I would like to do.

Being a mother is my top duty and honor, but it takes a lot of what I wanted to achieve aside, so sometimes I get a little down.

But watching so beautiful work, inspires me. We know Tom Ford for his exquisite taste and gorgeus cuts for couture. He's an elegant man, and has accomplished so much as a fashion designer, that it's so breathtaking to see he is a great filmmaker too. ¡So inspiring!, you never know which endeavour would really show what you're trying to say, your soul, luckily some can make a living from it. I wish I can reach that point someday, or at least I'll keep writing, dreaming, and learning...trying.

Here's A Single Man's trailer, Tom Ford's debut film, I can't wait to see it. Above gorgeus pictures of the leading actors, from an article for V magazine.
