room crush

I imagine this to be in someone's beach or lake house.  Siblings or friends running in after a day out in the sunshine.  Lots of laughter.

Big old crush.  That's what I have on this room.


I realized last night in all of my excitement of introducing madre y hija, that I didn't mention when the giveaway deadline was.  Sunday night it will close, and I'll announce the winner on Monday.

And thank you to those who either left a comment, or emailed me directly....lots of lovely words and support.  :)

the new little venture + a giveaway!

Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to.....

It's a new little venture that  I've started with the help of my daughter Ryan.  We love making bracelets together...love it, and have gotten numerous compliments on them....so, we've decided to start a business...a tiny one. :) 

The name:  If you know even just a bit of spanish, you'll recognize that madre y hija means mother and daughter.  I thought this was fitting for a couple of reasons.  The first is pretty obvious...as we're mother and daughter, but the second is where my mom comes into play.  You see, I have this pretty amazing mother...who is this fiery woman who came to the United States from Mexico in her mid-20's...with the determination to do something, become someone, contribute something.  I would have to say that she's done a wonderful job of accomplishing all of that...and she continues to do so everyday.  Growing up, I remember her always being very crafty, and even as an adult, she and I have worked on numerous projects together.  In fact, she's made me some pretty cool bracelets herself.

So in a way, madre y hija is symbolic of both my mother and I.....and now me and Ryan .  Which is pretty cool.

The logo:  I had this image in my mind of what I wanted the logo to look like.  I mocked something up and then shared it with my dear friend Matt, who perfected it for me.  A huge thank you to him. :)

The bracelets:  They are all handmade, and no two are exactly alike.  We are in constant search of new color combinations and new beads, etc. 

How do you make one yours?:  I'm in the process of setting up a shop on Etsy, but in the meantime, you are welcome to email me at: cherylpisha@gmail.com.  I'll let you know once we're officially up and running on Etsy. 

Pricing: Simple...one for $6...or two for $10. 

To kick-off the start of madre y hija, I'm doing a giveaway of two bracelets.

Here's what you need to do in order to enter:

1.  Become a follower through Google Friend Connect (choose to follow publicly so I can see you!) :)

2. Get a friend to become a follower through Google Friend Connect.

3. Tweet about the giveaway:  @cherylpisha

For each entry leave a separate comment.


I'd love to hear what you think.  Fingers crossed that people like what they see and want a little piece of madre y hija.

spring

The sun was warm but the wind was chill.

You know how it is with an April day. 

- Robert Frost

 

 

I love walking out of the house in the spring and seeing all of the vibrant green.  The grass, the plants...the promise of warmer days ahead.  It's like a mini-mood lifter every morning. :)

 

 

Some fun non-plant green for your enjoyment.....

I wish....

this was my stuff.  And that I was getting ready to jet off to a beach....so I could lay out and bask in the sun.....



but....instead I'm in my office at work (taking a 5 minute break ), running around like a complete moron.  Ah, I love today.

Thankfully, my team makes me laugh......on a very regular basis.  I am beyond grateful for them during days like today.

Everyone deserves fantastic work peeps, they make the work portion of the day more bearable ;)

dr. says.....

Happy Monday everyone!

I saw this quote by Dr. Seuss and loved it.  In this world where everyone wants to fit in and be like everyone else, I thought it was a lovely sentiment.  Be true to yourself!
