A very special Tuesday..

So today is our dad's birthday, and in his honour I decided to take a short trip down memory lane. Seeing as he's not a big birthday person, and might actually be offended by my posting of this, I'm going to keep it short, to the point, and not too sentimental!

I was looking through some old photographs and I thought maybe I'd share a few here..

We've had some really hard times in the past few years, but we've had some really great ones too! And I absolutely know that we would never be where we are today without his ability to make us smile, his wonderful coffee and his love for God! (To name a few!)

This is from my dad's birthday a few years ago

During one of our beach holidays..

I absolutely love this photo..

After his performance as a matador!

A traumatic memory, this one..

Dad, I don't believe there's anyone on this planet who has an ability to make people smile like you do! I really feel so blessed to have a father like you. So many girls would die to have what I have, a father who loves God, loves his wife, and also his very rowdy and somewhat annoying kids (obviously, I, Ale, would not fall into the annoying category.. Can't say the same for the others :D ) Jokes aside, so many of my happiest memories have you in them, and I am so unbelievably grateful for everything you and mom sacrificed for us, and how you have both demonstrated to us everyday what it means to obey God.

Thank you so much for everything. I hope that today is really a wonderful day, even though you hate birthdays!!!
Looking forward to a salad and a glass of water with you tonight. (With fillet and some cake on the side.. obviously!)
Lots of love
Ale.

THE ADVERT!!!

We have completed our very first advert. We were given the theme 'Beautiful' and this song by Francesca Battistelli.. This is what we came up with:



A very special thanks to all the girls who helped us make this! We really appreciate it.
Feel free to repost, comment etc!

So you may have noticed...

Our website has gone under a small 'face lift' of sorts. The twins and I had a super busy, super productive weekend making our most exciting stop motion to date, but perfection is hard work, let me tell you!!!

So when we got back from a wonderful day on location, (lake Como if you don't mind) we figured the blog could use a little work too.

WOW!

This funny old guy was chit-chatting with us on his way past!!!

Talking about the video, here are a few of our behind the scene shots from our eventful day by the lakeside!!! Keep your eyes peeled for more lovely still shots and THE ACTUAL STOP MOTION!!!!!! Excitement?? I thought so...

Soaking up a little bit of the delightful Spring sunshine

Como is the most beautiful place EVER!

A nice coffee break by the lake!

This beautiful girl let us take her picture!

The best is yet to come, let us promise you!!! We're really excited about this video! Can't wait to post it. Hopefully really soon!

Another bit of exciting news is that we're going to start working on a bilingual site. In a while you'll see our content packed pages translated or written in Italian.. Can't wait :)

Keep classy San Diego, as our beloved Ron would say!
Ale and the cobblers

Keeping things fresh..

It's been a while, and I apologise for the ridiculous lack of posting happening around these parts. Dim, Mil and I have been working on a really BIG EXCITING project, which we're really excited to share here! As you possibly may have read, we got asked to make a stop motion for some friends in England, it's going to be used as a sort of advert for a conference they're planning and they asked US to do it! So we've been brainstorming like CRAZY and on Friday I eventually had the breakthrough we've all been waiting for!!! We should have photos by this Saturday to share with you, and hopefully a finished video shortly!!

Here's a photo I took on Friday, yep I was HERE!!!!

In other news, one of my moleskine pages got reblogged over SEVEN THOUSAND times! woohoo!!! As a result we've launched
www.moleskinepages.tumblr.com where you can see our own original work, as well as loads of awesome reblogged stuff! Be sure to come and have a little look see.

And then a friend of ours sent me a link to her absolutely gorgeous art and illustration blog, china doll illustrations, which is also absolutely fab, a MUST SEE! Go have a look here

Another friend has a South African blog happening, really cool, be sure to check it out! Elephants and Easter..

Keep it classy san diego :)
More soon!

Acoustic tunes..

Atlantic tides.. I really like this cover!

Christmas time and grain

Lots of grain.
These were from christmas that we never really got around to posting because we had to wait for ale to open her gift first.. (Ale would like to add it was the best gift ever, a homemade coffee table style book made by Dim and Mil!! Awesome!)
