More awards on Valentines

Happy Valentines everyone! Not that I care too much about this holiday, I really don't like how consumerist this "holiday" has become around here, but I guess children enjoy the giving away card and little surprise from someone else thing and I suppose if you are in love it could mean something too. I got my share of Valentine surprises this morning, a couple of awards. First, the arte y pico award from Maddy and Wouter, with such a nice little excerpt about my blog. And then a second award! "You make my day award". This time coming from Carol. Thank you so much for thinking of me, reading me, leaving comments and being always there! This blog community is something else! I do believe, like Madddy and Wouter say, that part of my happiness is coming from the internet! from the blog community and from the creativity and inspiration that are connected to all of this. I couldn't have had a better Valentine's present :)

Feliz dia de San Valentin! No es que me importe mucho este dia, la verdad es que no me gusta lo consumista que se ha convertido este dia por aqui, pero pienso que los ninhos disfrutan eso de intercambar tarjetas y de las pequenhas sorpresas que vienen de otros y supongo que si estas enamoradotambien significa algo. Yo tuve mi pequenhas sorpresas de San Valentin esta manhana, un par de premios. Primero, el premio de arte y pico departe de Maddy y Wouter, con una pequenha descripcion tan maja de mi blog. Y luego un segundo premio! "El premio de me alegras el dia". Esta vez proviene de Carol.Muchisimas gracias por pensar en mi, por leerme, por dejar comentarios y por estar siempre ahi! Esta comunidad blogera es increible! Yo cre, como dicen Maddy y Wouter, que parte de mi felicidad proviene de internet! de la comunidad blogera y de la creatividad e inspiracionque estan conectadas con todo esto. No me podian haber dado un premio mejor de San Valentin!

OK, Having said all of that I just received a heart shaped box full of chocolates, I guess it does feel nice when people come to you and tell you that you mean something to them. Anyways, lets see how the day ends.

OK, despues de haber dicho esto, me acaban de sorprender con una caja en forma de corazon llena de bombones, la verdad es que si que da gusto cuando la gente viene y te dice que significas algo para ellos. En fin, a ver como acaba el dia.

And I have signed up into 2008 CAOK photo pool, from the calculated acts of kindness that Kelli started. I made some cheese bread, like my friend Gisele used to, and I had them given away to all my neighbors, that one by one were swinging by my front door yesterday afternoon. It was great to share something I enjoy a lot with all these good friends.

Y me apunte al grupo de fotos de CAOK 2008 de actos de amabilidad calculados que Kelli comenzo. Hice unos panes de queso, como mi amiga Gisele solia hacer, y los di a todos mis vecinos, que uno por uno se iban pasando por enfrente de mi casa toda la tarde. Me encanto compartir algo que yo disfruto tanto con todos estos buenos amigos.

And I also baked a banana bread for a good friend who is leaving, hopefully to come back in a few months. Have a wonderful trip Saraswati and best of luck with everything!

Y tambien hice un pan de platano para una buena amiga que se va, esperemos que para volver en unos meses. Que tengas un feliz viaje Saraswati y te deseo mucha suerte con todo!

You are the queen of the kitchen! So many yummy things! I wish I was there to get a pao de queijo. They look very good and the banana bread seems from a fancy bakery.
Your Valentine is the cutiest boy! Be careful with your box of chocolate, I heard Luca can eat a lot of them. I think this sweater was Gabriel's. It's so nice to see him with Gabriel's clothes.

yo creo que no es consumismo, sino la oportunidad de recordar y hacer sentir a los que quieres que son importantes.... que rico todo lo que hiciste chaparrita!! Un beso muy grande. Muac
