On the first day of last month, I took a 10 hour flight from New York to Buenos Aires, Argentina. My very first real vacation (in years!!!) started on 9/2/09 and it was wonderful. Thanks to my dearest Nico and his family for showing me around their beautiful country and for making my trip a great memory.

Somethings that I LoVe about Argentina:
- Milk (they have the freshest milk!!!!!)
- Medialunas (Half-moon sweet croissants, perfect for tea time!)
- Round street corners (there's always a round-edged cafe or store in every block. so cute!)
- Beef sandwiches (you know what they are famous for - BEEF!! Mucho meat!)
- Flower stands (it's everywhere!)
- Colorful houses (I tried to take a picture whenever I see one)
- Villa La Angostura (A town in Patagonia that we visited - beautiful.)
- Sunset from Nico's balcony
- Felipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Nico's schnauzer)

There must be things that I forgot to mention but overall it was a great relaxing vacation. ^.^

Oh yeah. I've been just drawing lots of Halloween themes lately, which I'm not sure why I never did in the past years (considering I love drawing holidays). It's been very fun!

October 21, 2009

Yesterday I attended a Stampin' Up! workshop host by demonstrator Pat Militello. It was fun learning different techniques and using tools that I've wanted to try long ago. We made the following items, and I used some leftover paper to make the last card on my own. Thanks Pat for the workshop.

I love the HappyHalloween candle holder (don't know what it's called exactly...). It's so cute!
