Candles make life prettier.

If you want bring a little Christmas cheer to your house, or simply warm your heart, think candles. I love my new luminaries that I bought from Gold Canyon, although my favorite order is the Sugar Cookie scented candle. My house smells sweet and warm and just lovely.  Find your favorite candle scents and enjoy the emotions they envoke.

Red Heart Sunglasses.. from China.

I ordered these super oober cute  sun glasses from China  23 days ago. Etsy was where I found these bad boys and am super excited to finally have them, I think they were sent snail mail, but I understand, China is pretty far away. The package came in a small box tightly wrapped and kept safe with Chinese newspaper.  It's really fun getting packages from other countries. What do you think?

Light it up.

I'm definitely in the Christmas spirit. I put up my Christmas tree and by Christmas tree I mean five small trees that make for a happy little tree village. I think I left my hand-made decorations with my sister, so I just trimmed the trees with lights and the decorations I managed to hang on to.
I can't wait until the day after Christmas, so that I can stock up on Christmas tree decorations at a deep discount. 

Remember no matter how small your Christmas set up is, it's still Christmas as long as you feel it in your heart.

Bacon.

Yesterday was very eventful. I worked for 8 long hours, then headed to my friend Erika's house to work on some paintings. Erika worked on her stuff for her business, doggy stuff. I tried to paint Sebastian, he turned out cute. I also painted this pig. I named him bacon, because I feel that most people only see pigs as bacon.  Stay tuned for future postings of Manguin.

It was a tree.

" Love Grows"

I have been randomly doodle-ing this painting for over ten years, I've sketched it with charcoal colors and with colored pencils, pens, everything but oil paint. I finally painted a permanet picture for myself. It's always so much fun to draw, painting this signature drawing  was fun too. I always finish my flower heart with a sharpie marker and write love grows. I think this says a lot about my personality, the more I know a person the more I love them. If you're important to me, I want you in my life forever, because "love grows."

Manguin gets rain boots.

So I got paid today and decided to treat my new friend Manguin, to a new pair of rain boots. He loved them so much that they boosted his self-esteem. I mean, Manguin was on fire, he even whistled and clapped at some blond chicks that were walking by. Oh Manguin. I decided that before I wish for a girlfriend for Manguin, he has to learn some manners, and learn  to treat the ladies right. Just look at his mischievous smile, he's definitely not ready.  Here's a picture of Manguin playing in a rain puddle, in his new rain boots. Enjoy.
