trying to slow down and rest and enjoy the days.

We have a hard job and it is very hectic but wanted to

show some images of what has been going on.

My birthday....

I had a great one, we were

doing a photoshoot that day and

It just made it so much more fun.

My husband brought a

nice cake for me and delicious ice cream.

I got to spend my special day surrounded by great people!

I got few birthday gifts and some other non-birthday gifts this past month

I am just  smitten!

if you follow us on instagram  you have probably seen them!

That day....

We were also so excited to  collaborate with Jessie Kenney

and Heather Rome

for the Fall 12 photoshoot .

I will do a sneak peek very soon!

oh...and we got a new Kitty named

Lula!

We are just tweaking some things and it will be live!

I feel really blessed for the collaboration of 2 great photographers,

Ica and Christian,

Thank you so much for the great work and for your time!

Also Special thanks to

Ruby, Heather and Citlali for

Styling, props and support.

Also Ruby open up her house for us to have the

photoshoot, that was so nice.

And last but not least to our beautiful models!

Be on the lookout for a great giveaway!

Our newest obsession is Pina Baush.

Wim Wenders  did a documentary about Pina

and when the movie came out

I wasn't able to see it since we were busy with work.

We just saw it this weekend and we were

mesmerized.

If you don't know about Pina,

She was a German choreographer who passed away in 2009.

She had a unique style that influence dance in

the 1970's. She was remarkable!

We took Bela and we did not know what She was going to think of it

since her style is very avant and portrays a lot of pain in a very

surreal way.

She loved the movie, the music and the dance so much plus the movie was made in 3D !

We thought the movie was magnificent!

I don't know too many people who saw this film,

if you did what did you think?

I hope you have a beautiful day!

and to celebrate this day we are doing a giveaway over

at  Cakies!

Bela enjoys art so much that she picked up a book about Picasso

the other day at the thrift store

to read for one of her reading projects from school.

She did a collage of Picasso and a drawing of him.

I loved the way She drew his shirt stripes...so cute!

On another more serious note Suzy is still looking for a match

for her sisters bone marrow, She really needs you wherever you are,

if you are Philipino or Mexican you might be able to help.

Her life depends on this.

If you would like to help please contact her  via email

suzydelgado1@gmail.com

or visit her facebook page dedicated to her sister

https://www.facebook.com/groups/236990236381569/

I just updated the surplus store with

some Spring items!

Check it out!

And for all you crafty ones

Wallpaper fabric

is also available .

My name is Suzy and I am writing on behalf of my sister Krystle Delgado Felten.

Krystle, who is 27, got married in April of 2011,

after returning from the Navy. In mid November,

she moved from Eagle Rock, CA to Yuma,

AZ to set up her new home and await her husband’s return

from his deployment in Afghanistan.

One week later, she found herself in the emergency room

due to what she thought was a bad sinus infection.

She was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and was flown by helicopter

to the U of A Medical Center in Tucson, AZ.

There, Krystle went through one round of chemotherapy,

and a one-month stay in the hospital.

Currently, she is receiving care at City of Hope, in Los Angeles,

undergoing continued chemotherapy treatment.

The only cure for the leukemia is to find a bone marrow donor—this is where you come in.

Being a bone marrow donor involves marrow compatibility all the way down to the genetic level.

As Krysle’s sister, I had a 30% chance of being a match, but unfortunately, I was not.

So now we are turning to the National Bone Marrow Registry to find an unrelated donor match.

There are 10 million people on the registry yet only 25% are of ethnic decent and only 9% of mixed ethnic decent.

We are Filipino and Mexican American and because bone marrow is inherited,

her bone marrow donor will likely be someone of similar ethnic backgrounds.

So what am I asking?– I am asking everyone to join the National Bone Marrow Registry.

By joining the registry you consent to taking a simple test that consists of swabbing the inside of your cheek

and filling out a consent form stating that you are willing

to donate your bone marrow in order to save Krystle’s life or the life of another if called upon.

If you are Filipino, Mexican or a mix of Filipino and Mexican,

aged 18-60, you have the highest chances of being a match for Krystle!

Please join us at 8:00am on February 25th, 2012 at Eagle Rock City Hall for our first of many bone marrow drives to find Krystle’s match.

Visit Krystle’s Facebook page at

https://www.facebook.com/groups/236990236381569/

to find a list of additional bone marrow drives being held for her.

Go to bethematch.org

where you can find a local bone marrow drive near you or request a kit via mail.

Visit: forthecommonwealth.wordpress.com for updates

You can email me to

suzydelgado1@gmail.com

We will not stop until we find her lifesaver! You could be the one. Please get tested now!

Pretty soon we will have our new website done with new photos and surprises!

I am so thankful for all the friends and people who

help us and make all this possible.

More to share later!
