Dedicated treasuries

When I first started to make treasuries, I promissed Asmoix I would made one dedicated to her. But, as you may know I tend to forget things xD so the unfinished treasury layed down on my non-public treasuries for some time. Recently I remembered it so I finished that treasury last week (haha, I'm a messy mess~). I loved making this, because Asmoix has some awesome taste :3

(Click on the image to go to the treasury)

And she made one back for me :3 and I must say I felt so touched (also, she called me a "pink punk bunny" ♥♥♥♥)!  Every single item is lovely and represents me so much ;_; Thank you Roo!

(Click on the image to go to the treasury)

I've been also featured on some other fantastic treasuries, and I have to make lots of them to thank the curators who included me, so I'm really thankful ^^

Do you enjoy making treasuries? You can show them here if you want :3 just write a comment with your link C:

Have an amazing day!

Weekend with pretty people~

Hi~!

Ahh... I'm so happy because I spent the best-weekend-ever, meeting some awesome people, ones for the first time, and others that I haven't seen in years.

On Thursday I met Pica Pau Yan, for some job related things. She's a lovely person and an amazing crafter, and she's super fun and interesting :3 We spoke about some cute plans to conquer the universe while my kids ate ice cream and played air hockey (and spent some money on mechanic games and such xD). I'm very happy to have been able to meet her, and I'm so looking forward to work with her *3*

Then, on Friday, I met Miki from Miki's Scrapbook because I had to give her the price she won on the giveaway I made last year (that looks like so long ago xD). We wanted to meet at a super cute place called "Felicidad" but it was closed for remodelations so we walked a little until we found a cool place to drink some cofee C: (speaking of cofee, I want to drink some. Be right back....... ok xD). The place is called "Chicha" and as Miki said on her post, it's nowhere as cute as Felicidad, but we just wanted to drink cofee and laugh and chat, so it was awesome :3

Chicha

Miki chan :3

Me and blogger extraordinaire, Miki

We wanted to take a picture of that amazing chandelier :3 I kinda failed xD but the picture is ok.

I love this picture! This mirror is over an amazing wall decall.

Miki gave me one of the cute bags she made and showed on her post here. I'm so honoured ;_;!

Miki is moving to California next month, but I hope to keep in touch with her, trade mail and hopefully, meet her again on EEUU or here :3 Btw, she posted something about our meeting here. Thanks a lot Miki! *hugs*   

And finally, I went to see my friend for ages, Karen. We met seven years ago, when I used to be a member of an argentinian forum called "Harry Argentino". (Yeah, I'm a Harry Potter fan :3 deal with it  xD). The thing is, we've been friends for ages, but she lives in Peru, and though she comes to Argentina once every two or three years we were only able to meet personally once at the bus station, one of the days she was leaving to Peru (I was pregnant, and I wanted to eat fries on a cone, so she walked aaaall over the station with me trying to find some place to buy it xD). Well, this time we spent some quality time :3 because she stayed in my house for two days. I couldn't be happier ;_; We made a lot of things together! I laughed a lot because she was SUPER excited for lot of things like the subway (espacially the subway lol), the city, the shoppings, my kids, Poupee Girl (omg, you wouldn't believe it, she's such a fan now xD) sushi, practically everything xD

 

Me and Jade <3 (Sorry for the blurry picture xD)

Haha, we're awesome, aren't we?

She gave me this Clamp artbook full of old works from my favourite mangakas in the whole world *hearts*

And we both bought this little box of cute rubbers so we can have the same thing (haha, how cheesy is that<3)

Even though she hates Starbucks, I took her there xD This are our drinks :3

I took this last three pictures the day she left ;_; I'm gonna miss her like freaking hell >___< I'm missing her already ;_;

So, this week I'm gonna be busy working my ass off xDD So I'm really excited! 

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Blogs I ♥: Aunty Cookie

I was goofing around some blogs because I haven't cach up with "goofing-around-some-blogs procrastination time" in... days xD and I found this freacking awesome and worth-a-read blog. I present thee, Aunt Cookie.

Aunty Cookie is a little brand created by Shannon Lamden.
She plays with it when she’s not being a total design genius or crafting like a madwoman or pretending to mother. Take your shoes off, loiter about. You’ll like something. Or maybe not. No pressure. Your choice…

Haha, I felt touched by the "pretending to mother" part, I must confess, but OMG, you have to check her out, for God' sake, she's amazing and incredibly funny.

I hope I have been convincent enough xD

Have a nice day!
