Art Attack! Thank you Marta!

Amy, Maria and Marta 2010 Cuba Nostalgia

One of the joyful aspects of blogging, for me, has been to meet some really interesting people and learn a lot of new things along the way.
Whether they're art, marketing, or human interest related, Marta Darby from MyBigFatCubanFamily,has left a mark in my heart. She's one of the wonderful people who shares her innermost feelings about her life, family, believes, and does it in such an entertaining, thoughtful and endearing manner. She expresses herself so well, and since English was never my strong suit, I learn so much from her process. So you can imagine how pleased  ecstatic I was when she notified me that she was blogging about my art and having a giveaway!

So, again, thank you, Marta! I'm honored that you would blog about me, and grateful!

Go here to enter the giveaway of my pendant in her blog!

Cuba Nostalgia Part One

Cuba Nostalgia 2010

We had a chance to go see Cuba Nostalgia this past week-end. Once again we saw some incredible art and artists, got to meet two of my favorite bloggers and had a chance to eat some great lechon (pork).

California girl, Marta Darby of my BigFatCubanFamily blog, celebrated her birthday in Miami and together with her lovely daughter, Kikita (Amy Hohneker) were at the Babalublog booth. They are both such gifted writers. They share their Cuban-American experiences in a very witty and touching way. Kikita recently visited Cuba for the first time and wrote some excellent and heart wrenching stories of her trip. Marta, who also happens to be married to an Anglo, has such a witty and endearing way of describing her life experiences from the Cuban (in America) perspective. I love her stories. Thanks Marta & Kikita for sharing your life with us and making me feel like a part of your family!

And so it was a veritable love fest when we met!
