It looks like I’ve neglected my photoblog. Sorry pals, I’ve been playing around with a new toy…that’s why!
And just because I can’t wait for Spring…here are some pretty photographs to brighten up our day! All shot with natural light in my living room. Comment - Like

Hello! It’s been a while! In the past weeks I went under a lot of stress that triggered strong migraines and an infection. I am feeling better today and I would like to wish you a very nice Christmas and a wonderful 2012. Also, a farewell. I won’t update this blog anymore. I’ve been thinking a... Comment - Like

Hello there! I can’t believe my last post was week ago! Time goes super fast for me. I wanted to sleep in and do nothing today, but I have priorities as a mom of two amazing boys!

I was organizing my computer files this morning when I stumbled over a folder with photos of my previous crafts. If you don’t follow this blog for quite long, I would like say that I started Pixie Blossoms in 2006 as “Desert Blossoms” and one year later I changed its name to “Pixie Blossoms... Comment - Like

Lately I’ve enjoyed giving my home some attention. I’ve always thought about making a display with some of my photographs and I’ve finally finished this project not long ago.

Heya! I’ve decided that I won’t sell 2012 calendars. As I said previously, I won’t delete my Etsy shop and now I am thinking that I could keep it to sell only affordable gifts made with my photographs: Postcards, note cards, jewelry, small prints, etc. I would like to keep a separated shop to ...

I’m making a calendar from scratch using Photoshop. I purchased a calendar template to make my life easier, because I don’t want to spend too much time on the computer, but the template doesn’t work for me. I had to make my own.
