Friends, awards and a week's worth of reds...
Saturday, July 25, 2009
'Gabriela' by Sam of Matou en Peluche. Isn't she charming? Not only do we share the name but she's also wearing my favorite color! I'm truly a fan of Sam's work, it's beautiful and full of character. She has such a talent for conveying subtle expression and emotion:
Our friendly neighborhood Ladybug/Ladybird:
Green tea yogurt with watermelon and mochi:
(yummiest thing I ate all week)
Awards!
Along with snagging her illustration I also want to share the 'Honest Scrap' award that I was recently given by my amazing friend Sam of Matou en Peluche. The award comes with instructions that we are to share ‘Ten things you don't know about me’. Thank you so much Sam♥, there was something slightly cathartic to this tag!
(1) Sincerely believe that when I see a hummingbird I’m going to have a good day. (2) Really lazy when it comes to cutting my finger nails but have to keep them short because of all the work related typing I do. (3) When people tell me what to do I often feel like doing the opposite. (4) Recently had a friend/coworker who is 9 years younger than me ask me out. I said no because of the age thing (mostly) but now have a huge crush on him (which I didn’t have before). (5) Nearsighted but only wear my glasses to concerts so I can see the stage or if driving to a place I don’t know and need to read the signs. (6) I love dogs but am afraid of big ones. (7) Even though I love kids I’m not sure if I ever want to have any. (8) Really like high-strung slightly neurotic people because they make me feel calm and normal. (9) Not athletic at all and have extremely bad hand eye coordination. Please don’t ask me to catch or throw anything. (10) When people ask me if I have kids I want to say ‘No, but I have a cat’.
I also recently received the 'Kreativ Blog' award from the always stylish Kelley Anne, the 'One Lovely Blog' Award from the genius mathematician Christiana and the 'Blog Lovin' award from the fantastically creative Anna♥. Thank you so much girls, I’m a huge fan of all your blogs! Passing all of these awards back to you and also to all of the following friends and favorites…
The Clothes Horse, Sam, Miriam, Carrie, Natalie, Diana, Janelle, Christina, Anna, Francesca, Maddie E., Mondo, Keith, Christiana, Tracy, Kelley Anne, Susann Romy, Elizabeth, Lenore, Cara.
Hope you're all having a wonderfully 'cool' weekend! *bises*

Thank you so much for the awards!! You are so sweet :)
Even sweeter than those delicious-looking yogurt!
I enjoyed reading your 10 things, it's great to learn a little bit more about you. Ooh, a younger crush? Go out with him! Hehe, although my advice may not be best, seeing I can't even remember the last time a guy asked me out, boo..
xx
OMG the yoghurt looks good. Congrats on the award :D
Sam's Gabriela is gorgeous! I like the look of that green tea yogurt with watermelon! I very much enjoyed getting to know you a little better via your list. I could relate to a few of those on there. Hey when people ask if you have kids I don't see a problem with you saying 'no, but I have a cat' :)
Congrats on all of those well deserved awards! And thanks ever so much for passing them along to me. Nice choice of pic you used for me :) You are such a sweetie!!! Tracy xo
Thanks so much for the award - what a great start to my holiday (or vacation) - 10 things about me. I must change my profile for something more seasonal x
Hey Gabbi. Thanks so much. I appreciate it. It was a long night last night. I drank too much beer. So which award did you give me? Thanks. Take care. Enjoy your Sunday. Cheers!
Congrats for the awards...
Hope you have a lovely Sunday, much love: Evi
That is a lovely sketch xxx
Thanks for the info! My Mac was too old for any photo editing programs, but now that I have a new pc...I'm looking into programs so I can play around with collages and borders on the pics. It definitely wasn't too long--I'm interested in whatever advice you have to offer:)
Hi doll...now it's my turn to swing by and say hi! I hope your Sunday was great! I am finally feeling all better-interview at 12 tomorrow!
Without sounding too gushy...you are such a favorite-biggest heart I have seen in the blogosphere and life, actually.
I hope this week is great for you Gabbi! XOXO
you're too sweet, thank you so much. these make my day, i'll be sure to pass them along soon:)
hope you're having a good monday!
Uhm, those ice creams looks almost healthy!
Green tea yogurt... I wanna try that one! I'm a green tea lover :) Oh, the photo of the ladybug is so pretty. lol I tend to do the opposite of what they tell me to do, and I suck at sport too jajaja
Sincerely Louie, Caio!
Thank you! i feel the exact same way when people ask me about kids!
Thank you so much Gabbi, you're such a sweetheart! I loved reading your list. :)
xoxo
Agatha Christie is amazing! I hope you enjoy that stack of books:) I love library book sales.
the ladybird is so cute! :)
That was a fun read! I also love the Ladybug - it's so great that there are a few insects that actually are just sweet.
Number 4 - GABBI! How could you! Now you have to bite the bullet and ask him out. I cannot believe you said no. It's all in the mind ;)
lovely post! :) and i really love the pictures.. LOL
xx
What neat facts about you! :)
Oh, that look so yummy! I love yogurt and fruits:)
Sweet post. I love reading posts like these because you get to know the blogger so much better and relate to common things. I also have horrid hand-eye coordination and answer I have a dog whenever asked if I have kids or am I married. =) I def don't want kids for some reason, I'd love to adopt though.
xo

Hi Gabbi!!!

Loved reading your 10 things about me!
til soon
Francesca

again wonderful design and interesting reading :) i really love to come here :) *bises*
Love the new header Gabbi. I love your ever changing designs. When it comes to kids, I too feel compelled to tell people about Norm. I 'm sure they think I am nuts. Ha!
Love reading your blog and getting to you know more, I just wish you were my neighbor so we could chat and start that non dancing/non cooking Latina support group. :)
Hi Gabbi my darling ~ thanks for all your wonderful comments!
xoxox,
CC
I sincerely adore that illustration. It's simply too gorgeous to resist. I think I should love to have Sam's illustrations covering every bare spot on my bedroom walls. What a delightful thing, to wake up to such elegance each and every morning! :)
