A wonderful gift for you~Brought to you by meliannaa
This month were doing are giveaway a little different.First off we wanted to introduce you to a wonderful etsian by taking a walk through her shop as well as giving you our personal opinion on an item she kindly sent to us.
So without further adieu
Welcome to the wonderful world of Meli Anna Anastasiadiswww.meliannaa.etsy.com
A native of the little french province of Canada called Quebec.From a young age she has always been creative and to this day still loves to re-shape,revamp, or think of her own ways to create just about anything. Its great to see a person these days that is inspired by love and not money.
Because it is her daughter,her husband,God,the city,nature,angels,and more that keep her creative wheels turning.Here is a quote from Meli her self." When I just feel peace and love inside, most of the time i go and make a necklace...it is like meditation to me".
Meli is loving her life,and is content living in the now to see the beauty of her future.She want's people to know that life is a love story.First about our self and after that with others and after that with things...and it never stops.
We asked her what advise she would give to other creative individuals?
She said "the only advice I would share is trust yourself because it is only from inside that something unique come's out. If you feel stuck, go and learn a technique...then forget it a little and mix it back in your own way with what you feel inside".
As we browsed through her shop we loved the fact that she made so many inventive creations out of a similar medium.From circles to flowers ,
from earrings to necklaces all very fun and easy to wear.
My wife knows from experience.lol..
She even ended up wearing them all day during a photo and video shoot then ended up falling asleep with them in.That's how light they are.
Perfect for a night on the dance floor or for a mother to do her everyday chores.
These lovely shiny pink earrings will also be featured on my wife in our promotional video,
that will be released on our website later this month.

Paypal & US Bank Statement Update for funds raised for the HOUSE OF IMAGINATION
As of today--- we are sporting the grand total of $272.27!!!
Although, its not the full 500k--- it's nothing to scoff at---
it still means we're going up. :)
Wine & Dine Me Baby! 5,000 flyers. Pizza. Movie and a Kickstarter video.
We've been married a year and a day.
July 21st is our "wedding" anniversary.
I quote the above due to the fact we didn't really have a wedding as so much to oppose to just popping into a courthouse and laughing "I will.", as Gabi straightens out my glasses.
Don't get me wrong now---- we love each other deeply.
But just as we are married to each other, we are also married to our dreams, goals and ideas.
We celebrate success.
So yesterday, for the 7th day in a row.
I awoke at 5 am to work on our Kickstarter video.
Now for those of you who don't know what Kickstarter is THE new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors. It gives the little everyday person -with an idea of course- to announce it to the internet world.
Not only that, you can get friends, family and complete strangers to fund it!
You'd think my favorite part would be the funding, right?
No, it's the ideas. I love when they are successful.
To see goals in their conceptual state and becoming reality.
Changing the life of that person between 1-90 days!
Changing the world as we know it!
It gives me shivers.
See the full view here.
Also yesterday, we had our flyers come in.
Thank's to the generosity of our local hydroponic store In and Out Gardens.
Gabi has the gift of gab. Note the name Gabi.
So he truly enjoys the fact that he get's to pass out and flood all of Oregon with these badboys.
As for me, I'm nerdy and can be found either hidden behind a barricade of books,
behind laptop---
Or covered in paint at 11 o' clock at night, while listening to reruns of Roseanne.
I'm cheap.
Lol. Seriously, I run like $9.00 a bottle!
I ended up making my "wow, this is tart!" face each time I took a sip.
Even though Gabi and I still carried on with our day-to-day routine of work & baby Anastasia-
we still did a little something to commemorate our 1st year of marriage.
Before it hit the oven:
Behold the Train Wreck
After a little too much of myself to drink, this menagerie had manifested in my kitchen.
Made from scratch. Because I don't believe there isn't anything I can't master on the first try.
Made without a specific recipe in mind, measuring and pizza tossing skills, our pizza had:
WOW!
Our little mess turned out to be an actual deep dish pizza!
The crust had a slight crispness on the outside and the moist, fluffy goodness within.
The sauce was sweet and savory and our choice of veggies married beautifully.
Oh! And the cheese....SO creamy and rich----so in the end
we ate half of the pizza.
And watched a movie about us. With friends. :)
Sincerely,

Made without a specific recipe in mind, measuring and pizza tossing skills, our pizza had:
Homemade Crust Infused with Butter, Oregano & Coriander
Fresh Homemade Basic Tomato Sauce Saturated with Wine
Spinach
Oyster Mushrooms
Baby Bella Mushrooms
Garlic
2 bags of Parmesan & Mozzarella Blend
Chevre (Goat Cheese)
Red Bell Pepper
It weighed an estimated 8-12 pounds and about 3,500 calories.
Mr. L would have eaten the thing alone.
But something magical happened in that oven.
