Happy Birthday baby Brother!

Today is my baby brother's birthday! He's turning 18! I can't believe how fast he grew! I remember being so happy when he was born and had someone to play with. I love him very much even though he's always staying on his computer and has all these awful moods...I'll share a few pictures of him, when he was a lot younger (because now we can hardly take any pictures of him, he doesn't like it) and a few from the past 2 years.
 I love pictures, they keep your memories alive, moments like:

                        Precious times with our dad...

                                     with our mom...
 
moments we shared together...

    remembering his huge appetite and his messy way of eating...
 
the times when he was chasing baby chickens...


 the times when was falling asleep in our uncles' lap...
(he's not really our uncle but a close friend of our family)


                         and seeing the way he turned up growing...









He's among the smartest people I know and he has a great personality.I'm proud to call him my brother!
 So Happy Birthday Alex!

Hello 2012!

via orihashi
2011 was a year which had its good parts and its bad parts. Among the good things I find the fact that I've started my blog, begun working on the on-line shop(haven't finished yet due to the lack of time thanks to college),and I've accomplished many other things;but also the not so good things like seeing the hardships of reality, dealing with the lost of special ones and learning to keep the best memories and keep them alive in your heart...
I've never made New Year resolutions but I've always looked at life in a positive way and kept in mind some wise words(which of course were perfect for me) people said throughout time. With this occasion I will share some of them with you...who knows, maybe they will mean something for you to.

New Post on The World of Animals and Nature

Christmas is a celebration of joy, giving and sharing with loved ones and even with people who do not have the possibilities of having a wonderful Christmas, a meal on their table or a roof above their heads. But there are also thousands of animals who need our help. If you're an animal and nature lover, follow my other blog The World of Animals and Nature.

And now it's time for a great DIY Snow Globe

What you need:
  • A globe with rubber base and plastic stand
  • Epoxy
  • Ceramic or plastic ornaments
  • Distilled water
  • Liquid glycerin
  • Glitter
How to Make It
  1. Look for 7- and 8-inch flower aquariums, which include a globe, rubber base, and plastic stand, at floral shops or online.
  2. Use epoxy to attach ceramic or plastic ornaments and figurines to the rubber base, which also serves as the lid.
  3. Fill the globe with distilled water to just below the opening; add about 1 tablespoon of liquid glycerin (found in soap-making sections of hobby stores) to thicken the water.
  4. Sprinkle with glitter.
  5. Working over a sink, slowly invert the decorated portion of the rubber base into the water; stretch the seal of the rubber base over the lip of the globe.
  6. Attach the plastic stand, turn the globe upright, and watch the snow fall!
  7. For extra sparkle, stand the snow globe in a silver wine bottle coaster.
