Girl Eats Cupcake Pouches

23 Mar, 2010 by in etsy, pouches 20 comments




Today’s Chile relief giveaway is for one of four handmade pouches from Etsy seller GirlEatsCupcake! Hello there! I’m Kelsey.

My first encounter with sewing was back in middle school. After mama taught me how to use her old machine, my aunt helped me with my first project- a blanket which I still use today!
I slowly started sewing again in high school making book bags and the likes, and I’ve been at it ever since.

Aside from sewing, I love to read and bake, as well as paint and draw when I can find the time.

I love to put smiles on faces, and I hope my shop does that for you!

Find me at these other places!

Photography Friday- Mono Andes

19 Mar, 2010 by in Uncategorized 4 comments

Today’s Photography Friday is from Mono Andes. He is a photographer in Chile who has been capturing images form the earthquake and asking for aid for the people he meets. He also has an amazing photostream of South America and the Andes. Mono’s black and white photos remind me a lot of Ansel Adams.
He has offered to giveaway a photo of choice to one of our blog readers in return for donations to Chile earthquake relief. Here is his profile…
La realidad es mejor. Nada de potoshop y esas cosas…

Allá afuera está mejor la cosa que acá, se ve bastante más que en las fotos.

“Una de las gracias de la montaña es que no importa lo que hagas, siempre te sientes realizado”
Jorge Quinteros

Somos seres llenos de pasión.La vida es desierto y oasis.
Nos derriba, nos lastima, nos enseña,nos convierte en protagonistas de nuestra propia historia.
Aunque el viento sople en contra, la poderosa obra continúa: Tu puedes aportar una estrofa.
No dejes nunca de soñar,porque en sueños es libre el hombre.
No caigas en el peor de los errores: el silencio.
La mayoría vive en un silencio espantoso.No te resignes. Huye.
“Emito mis alaridos por los techos de este mundo”,dice el poeta.

Valora la belleza de las cosas simples. Se puede hacer bella poesía sobre pequeñas cosas, pero no podemos remar en contra de nosotros mismos.
Eso transforma la vida en un infierno.

Disfruta del pánico que te provoca tener la vida por delante. Vívela intensamente,sin mediocridad.
Piensa que en ti está el futuro
y encara la tarea con orgullo y sin miedo.
Aprende de quienes puedan enseñarte. Las experiencias de quienes nos precedieronde nuestros “poetas muertos”, te ayudan a caminar por la vida.
La sociedad de hoy somos nosotros: Los “poetas vivos”. No permitas que la vida te pase a ti sin que la vivas …

(Walt Whitman, No te detengas)
