Here’s more she made yesterday- I’m fascinated by her color combinations and it makes me happy to see she’s having fun again 💕 I help start the string and closing it. Other than that, she threads and picks whichever beads she likes 🤗 coming to my shop mid Oct- here’s hoping! We have made about 50!

I’ve been working on reopening my shop for holidays. And I finally found a fun activity for my mom and she has been helping me make these purse charms. She has early onset Alzheimer’s and seeing her find joy in this makes me extremely happy. The funds from these will go towards her future care 💕

I was asked to do a couple of pieces for Disney Parks Wonderground gallery 😊Ernesto De La Cruz original painting sold, but there are prints in both California and Orlando Disney parks! The original painting of Up I think is still available. Hope you get a chance to visit and see them in person!💕

Watched it with my family in Spanish so my mom could understand. And I’m extremely grateful there was that option to watch. I really loved the Spanish translation! They matched the characters so so well. And the jokes landed just as funny as in English. Go support our film opening weekend! #smurfs

Bird experts! Haha, are these two boys??
Not a boy/girl right? They’re about a year old. My Mom has had em since Aug 2024. If we wanted a girl, what can I do? I can put 2 girls in same cage, right? It would be so cute to see babies! 😆💕 #birds #parakeets

Yall. I have a confession to make. After calling labubus ugly, I caved in when I saw legit ones randomly at the mall 🤣 I clowned real hard to the point of painting the pink one and buying them clothes at the Mexican flea market. My people never miss LOL 🙈

I always try to make it out here in the presidio every time I visit my old stomping grounds. The cold wind shuffling around my hair, seeing the flowers swaying with the wind, and taking a bike ride along the coast 🥰🥰🥰 video doesn’t do it justice!
