LOVE is in the air
Happy BELATED Valentine's day! I don't know about you but I typically dread this holiday. Not because I feel bad when I'm single or pressured about gifts when I'm in a relationship, its just a stupid holiday that I feel has no grounds for existing. If you're in a relationship, you have an anniversary. Isn't that enough? And if you're single, do you really need to a day to feel sad that you didn't get flowers?
Every year I feel this way but I try to turn it around and stay positive. In recent years I've learned this is a great day to spread the love to your friends! To show those close to you that you love them and appreciate them. It also puts me in a way better mood and excited to hang out with people I truly enjoy. This year my Vday was quite busy with a haircut, coffee with a friend to catch up and THEN dinner with my sister and our friend. I guess it was actually the day before that was so chaotic since I had to prep!
I really wanted to make some awesome gifts for my friends that I was to see on the 14th AND I found some great inspirations online. My friends and I decided to do a gift exchange and I went way overboard...and loved it.
I hope that you all had a great Valentine's day because I really did. And the $3 margaritas at the end of the night made it even better :) Oh and if you live in the Seattle area definitely check out "Pecado Bueno" in Fremont. They have SUPER good tacos and $3 MARGARITAS! One of my new favorite places!
Ok so I really wanted to show you all what I made for my friends. I'm hoping to give YOU ALL some ideas and spread the love since I found my ideas from awesome DIY-craft-mom-blogs. Also all of these crafts I put instructions for or website links in their captions (in the album "US trips)
These were all SO fun to make. And pretty easy too.
So while we're on the topic of love...I should tell you I'm soon destined to the most romantic city on earth- PARIS! Yes people- that's my first on my list of places I will be going. I know the clue was pretty easy but we'll see if you guessed the others right...stay tuned.

Guess where IM going....
As you've probably already read I'll be going back to Spain for a couple of months. I don't leave until March but I've already been planning trips that I'll be making once I'm there. I wanted to clue you guys in on a few trips that I'll be making outside of Spain...now try to guess from my clues:
1. Parlez-vous anglais? will be my "catch phrase" when I visit this city which is home to the Mona Lisa.
2. I will most likely eat some knedlíky when I visit this country that long ago was called "Bohemia."
3. Getting to ride on a camel will be one of my many adventures while visiting this country that's just a ferry ride away (from Spain that is).
OK hopefully those clues aren't too easy or hard. Now if you aren't able to guess where I'll be just stay posted since I'll be reveling them as I get close and closer to being in Spain.
