Spending time with family

I finally started working last week! :) I am so happy. I actually missed working with kids a lot. Today was a half day. I worked in a Kindergarten classroom. It was a really good class. I had fun. After work, I came home to visit my baby Yuliana. She is getting so big. I just love her so much. Here are some pictures I took of Yuliana and I. I think this first picture is such a cute sweet picture. It seemed she was smiling and looking at her beautiful aunt. :) She was falling asleep as you can see in the second picture.



My mom went to a women's church meeting today. She took a while baking this cake. It looks so delicious! It only looks delicious (I say) because we didnt get to taste it. :( Since she was taking it to the meeting, we couldnt taste it. My mom is good at baking. She decorated the cake really nice.

Who likes sushi?

Apparently my family does! My aunt Mary came from Mexico to take her daugther back. My cousin has been staying here with us for about a month and she has been having the greatest time ever. She doesn't want to leave! They will be leaving tomorrow, but before they left they were all craving sushi. So we went to the Pacific Buffet. They have good food. We all ate like crazy! Funny story, my mom likes sushi but its funny how she eats it. She gets her sushi rolls, takes all the rice off, takes the seaweed off and only eats whats left! We tell her thats not eating sushi. Ha ha ha.. We tell her poor guy who does the sushi takes for ever making the rolls so you dont eat them complete!

Here are some pictures of my niece Yuliana who is getting bigger every day. She is so beautiful. My sister bought her some tiny headbands, as you can see in the picture. She looked so cute. She is a very calm baby. Doesnt cry at all. Shes just beautiful!

Swirly Swirl Frames

It has been a long time I had not done any crafts to add to my etsy shop. Since my computer broke, I haven't really done anything. Today in the morning though, I had some time to create these beautiful frames. I first primed the wooden frame, then painted then added a nice touch with the swirls. It takes time because you have to wait for them to dry completely in between they layers you are creating. With the first frame, it took longer time to create because I did different techniques. I loved how they turned out! My favorite one is the first one. I will post them on my etsy shop. The first one is $15, and the other two are only $10 each. I have also done custom work. If you like these frames, but would like them in different colors just let me know!

Best of Friends

Today, our good friends that we have known since high school decided to come visit my sister and meet Yuliana. We have known each other for 10+ years. We usually meet around once a month at a restaurant, but today they came over. They all brought food and had a great time. Between us, there are 5 kids, and one on the way and only 4 out of the 7 have kids. Imagine how many kids we are going to have between us? I can just imagine when we get together when all of us have kids! Yikes! It is so fun when we get together. They are such great friends! I love them all!



Here is a picture of Yuliana with both of her grandmas. They are both so happy to have finally met her.
