Goddess of .. My Cherry Blossom Girl !

As you know, I recently won the It's Unbeweavable & jkldesign giveaway (Yay!) .. and well, it took a little uhmming and ahhhing .. but I made a choice on the print I wanted .. and got it in the mail yesterday !

My Cherry Blossom Girl

She's absolutely as gorgeous in person, and truly inspiring.

I love her.
 

Thanks again to the wonderful Elizabeth Marie @ It's Unbeweavable and Leigh @ jkldesign etsy shop (and her blog : CREATE) for making this dream come true !

Kisses,

Goddess of .. Inspiration for new beginnings !

• I just saw Julie and Julia. Totally loved it, of course, as most bloggers / foodies did and I feel very inspired at the moment. I must get up and do things. I must start a countdown of something exciting on my blog.

• There is the Martha Stewart's baking handbook that Lolita gave me on christmas 2 years ago .. and I haven't tackled more than 3 recipes in there. Maybe I could try that. Perhaps Martha is the Julia to my Julie, the butter to my bread, the breath to my life.

• Or it could be totally non-cooking related.

• Ideas ???

Goddess of .. a JKL Design piece of amazingness!!!!! Yay!

No matter how much I complain all the time at times, I must ALWAYS remember this :

I AM THE LUCKIEST GIRL EVER !!!

Thanks to Miss Lizzy Marie @ It's Unbeweavable!, bloggie extraordinaire, super badass flirt and totes BFF material (take notes Liz, I am demanding that we be BFFs sooner rather than later).. I won her latest (and bestest) giveaway, an item from Leigh @ JKLdesign (Etsy shop) !!!

Leigh's work has been featured on-
the cover of Dujour Magazine April/March
Forever 21's Blog The Skinny
Will be seen on the set of "The Roommate", with Leighton Meester coming out in 2010.

This post is not meant to rub it in anybody's face .. it's simply me trying to be grateful for what I receive and to share my excitement ! Because I am BEYOND excited !!!

I looooove JKLdesign and all of Leigh's items .. so I think I already know which one I want !

She has many pieces involving the Eiffel Tower, and well, if you'd met me IRL.. you'd know I am a hardcore Tour Eiffel lover ! In fact, I love it so much, I could've been the woman who married the Eiffel Tower (yeah, check that out, it's worth it!!!).

And, I appreciate art, like no other. I paint and sculpt .. although "being a lawyer and all" takes up most of my free time, lol.

Here's a few of my coup-de-coeur design pieces @ JKLdesign

I weave-adore this one !

Paris truly is the city of love..

Simply gorgeous

I love rainy days and the eiffel tower, this was meant to be !

My bed on any given day

Can't pick one ... must pick one ..

P.S. I'll post my reply to Rami's message later and also, what I've been up to lately !!! Yay ! Get excited, life is beautiful !!!
