Pink speaks to me today. Found this beautiful photoshoot here:http://community.livejournal.com/mixologies/ a long time ago. It’s a photshoot called "Heavenly Creatures" by Benjamin Alexander Huseby. I so love this editorial. I´ve been planning to play with the scans for sucha long time so i ended up doing this today.

Found sucha amazing set of dried flowers and plants (from the 50´s and 60´s!) at the fleamarket and i felt so inpired and created this collage. [this is available at my etsy store yes i created etsy account but been too lazy to add much there :o].

and last a little digital collage i made to cheer up my day. I stick it on my wall at the office ;)

Beautiful Kelly

2008-04-15T00:23:00.000-07:00

awwww this sunday was so amazing!!!I met miss Kelly Clarkson on sunday when she finished her tour in Helsinki, Finland. I was one of the lucky ones to win a pass for her meet and greet (there were 5 of us who met her). She was sooooo sweet, happy and truely darling. The meeting lasted few minutes but it was so worth it. The show was the most beautiful thing ever. Her voice sounded so pure and beatiful, you never would have guessed it was the final tour date since her voice sounded so perfect. Loved all her ballads, she performed Patty Griffin´s "Up to the Mountain" which I never heard before..I´m still so very happy about the show and meeting her!!!

One world - One heart

2008-02-10T22:39:00.000-08:00

One World – One heart is an event designed to connect bloggers and allow them to share a little something special with their blogging friends. Click here for more info of this project.

This year is the first time I have heard of this event and I thought it’s a wonderful idea! So here is my little give away: a little painting size 8 x 8 (20 cm x 20 cm) I made with acrylic colors. I haven´t done much painting but when I saw a picture of that dancing lady in a magazine I knew I had to paint her. Unfortunately my scanner hates this cos its painted on canvas panel so the image isn´t perfect at all. It does look much better in real :)

To enter: Leave a little lovely comment in this post, along with a link to your blog or email where you can be reached. On February 14th, I will draw one lucky person to receive this little gift.

2007-11-22T01:22:00.000-08:00

PAY IT FORWARD : handcrafted gifts :)

I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this Pay it forward exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.
So basically, if you comment, I’ll send you something crafty that I’ll make!
Once you sign up, copy and paste the above paragraph on your blog, and three other lucky people will be recipients of your handmade work.

I found this here and really like the idea.
