First, scrappy stuff,
Sandy over at The Creative Type asked me to be a Guest Designer this week for the prompt "Lyrics." I just adore her and love her funky humor and so naturally I was thrilled. You should take a peek over there and play along. The gals there are a talented bunch of scrapcrafters!
All my own Lyrics
Waiting for Spring (so patiently, oh so patiently...) god, I love gnomes!
And I just wanted to share these super cute little gifts I got last night over at my friend Ana's house. The girls and I went over to eat Indian from this place that has hands down the best Indian ever! We've heard Indian people say that it's better than most of the restaurants they eat at in India! Agh! The saag paneer, the chicken vindaloo, masala, and homemade naan, the aloo jeera, veggie samosa,and the chutneys, mouth-watering!!! Oh, makes me hungry just thinking about it! Maybe we'll go there tonight...I truly, truly, truly love it. Next to Mexican, it's most delightful! Anyhoo, where was I, oh, these cute matroyshka pretties...Ana had just gotten back from Asia doing a buying trip for clothes and textiles for Free People and Urban Outfitters (um...how do I get a job like that???) Anyhoo, aren't they so cute? She knows I collect matyoshkas and she said he saw all this and had to get them.

we're redoing our kitchen in a year and I'm saving these to display then, like Tupperware, only WAY cuter!
my own private set of chopsticks!
{and about the Mexico move}Just wanted to let you all know that my hubby and I have decided that I (and my girls of course) are only going to live in Mexico part of the year. He's going to be traveling a lot for work and we decided after a couple problems with the current apartment we have, to find another...he's found another one, smaller and very Spanish-y Melrose Place-ish. There's a Starbucks literally next door. It's across from a very cool park (Lincoln Park) that has a huge playground and walking trails. The violence everyone's seeing on the news hasn't reached Mexico City, it's more up along the border towns. Yet, in light of Dave's new traveling schedule, the current violence happening with the Mexican government and the drug cartels, our homeschooling life, our house in Philadelphia (blah, blah, blah), we'll be staying here. We'll go down to Mexico every few months for a month, then back up here. My husband will travel home every couple weeks (not ideal, but he'll be traveling anyways...) I'm not too terribly upset, of course I'll miss him, but we love it here. And staying 4-5 months out of the year there will be good, we'll spend the winters there, escaping Philly cold...and I'm sure a month here and there throughout the year. Like a nice vacation 4-5 times a year,eh? We already have booked our Thanksgiving trip here. The Maya Tulum resort looks magical! 5 days and nights, sandy white beaches, massages, margaritas, yummy food, yoga,..awwww...so happy!!! Our friends Ana (and fam) and Kristal (and fam) are joining us, too!
Looks luscious, huh? Can't wait!
Hope you're having a great week!
