6 days for Perú! Can't wait to visit my baby nephew Sebas, the family and lots of friends!

The plan is to land in Lima on May 8th
Spend two days in the city and fly to Cuzco during the morning of May 11th.

My friend Hayley (from Oregon) lives in that wonderful place, so we will spend out weekends with her!! It happens that May 12 is her bdayyyyy!!! So we will celebrate!!!

Today the sun came out!!! After a crazy snow storm yesterday.... I got a pic of Monday. Snoop is rocking his new haircut by me ;) and Yesterday (Wednesday) of all the snow we got that day =S.

Take care!

Snow Snow Snow!!

Spring is not here :/ I'm very over with the white stuff..... Cuz I don't get to play in it.... The season is overrrrrrr!!!!

Two more weeks for our trip to Peruuuuu!!! South America get ready!!!
We are very excited to visit my hometown Lima to see my baby naphew that is only 6 days old!!! Later we will fly to Cuzco for some tourist timeeeee {{MachuPicchu}} and then the city where I was born Chiclayo :) where I have some family also.

So lets just be patient....

MUDD SEASON.
Work is very slow this time of the year.... BUT there is always something to do like place the orders for the summerrrrrr. I work in a biiiig souvenir shop and this is the perfect time to restock the shelves! when the tourist are gone... and Breckenridge is a ghost town.

In the mean time I will play with my beads, arrowheads and wireee!!! Lets get crafty!!

Looking for bigger things...

My word of the year is "Growing"
This tells part of why I picked this word:

Once someone told me when I was taking some art classes:

"Don't only focus on drawing on tiny canvases, Don't be afraid of big, try it.... You will be surprise of what you acomplish"

I think all my life I've been afraid of big things! And my art was limited because of that too....

Growing up was not easy.....
So much happened in my life...
Now that I'm a big girl I understand why? Life is all about that! Pushing for the big things!!

Did you ask yourself growing up... Why me!??
I was always told "This only happened to you because you are tough enough to push hard and overcome the situation"...... Well it was not easy!

I am who I am because of all the pushing! myself, my family, my dreams! they are all finally coming together!!!

At the beginning I admit i lost it. My path was unknown, forgotten.... I lost myself and I didn't know who i was anymore. My dreams were shuttered by myself, even that I blamed others.... I didn't listen to anybody. I was a "rebel" even with my old buried dreams. I didn't caaaare..... Life went on without path... Just work to survive, to keep you alive but not to "grow"..... That I called a dark time with myself. Until someone came and slowly brought me back! And the spark gave me a real reason to leave that stupid routine... I married that guy :)

The storm is over!
This girl is strong and ready to take over this world. I am now pushing myself.
Life teaches you so much!!
It makes you strong!!
It gives you the tools to go Big!!

So.... After all this :) here I am going big and trying something I thought I wouldn't even try....
SpicyHeart is making new BIG things!! Expanding and Growing with a collection of necklaces. I love making earrings and will keep making them but I am following what my teacher said and I will "try the big canvas". Lets see together what I will accomplish....
