It's beautiful, has a message and I like it, that's why

When I made all my Christmas cards this year, similar to this one in the picture my friend said but WHY? Basically meaning, or at least that's how I interpreted, why do you bother wasting your time making something that just lasts a few days and that takes so much of your time to make? But you know what, I really wish I had the time and energy to make something special to all these people something more practical anyways, but since I don't have time, I just choose to spend my time thinking about them and making something I like and represents who I am just for them. I think life is not all about being practical, once in a while, unpractical but beautiful things may be more meaningful for a person than just something that has a practical purpose (right, older sister?).

Cuando hice todas mis trajetas de navidad a mano, parecidas a la de la foto mi amigo me pregunto pero PORQUE? Osea, o al menos asi es como lo interprete yo, porque te molestaste en gastar todo ese tiempo haciendo algo que solo dura unos dias y que tardas tanto en hacer? Pero sabes que?, me encantaria poder hacer regalitos mas practicos, pero como no tengo tiempo, elijo hacer algo en lo que paso un rato pensando en ellos haciendo algo que representa quien soy solo para ellos. Creo que en la vida no todo debe ser practico, de vez en cuando, cosas que no son practicas pero bonitas pueden tener mas sentido para una persona que algo que solo tiene un proposito practico (verdad hermana mayor???).

And since Santa has decided to bring me tons of things, most of them for me to be warm and comfy and to relax, like going to a spa for massages and pedicures, I decided to follow the theme and made this eye mask for my sister in law, modeled in the picture by Luca.

Y ya que papa noel ha decidido traerme miles de cosas, muchas de las cuales son para que no me enfrie y para que este comoda y relajada, como un vale para un spa para masajes y pedicuras, he decidido seguir con el tema e hice esta mascara de ojos para mi cunhada, con Luca como modelo en la foto.

And tomorrow I am to North Carolina to meet my two good friends and crafty companions Gisele and Clara, and will be staying away from my Luquita for 2 days, for the first time, will that be a challenge or will I actually rest? Maybe both.

Y manhna me voy a Carolina del Norte a encontrarme con mis dos buenas amigas y companheras de labores Gisele y Clara, y me ire dos dias lejos de mi Luquita, por primera vez, sera un desafio o descansare? Creo que las dos cosas.
