MRCC: Illustrative Print

This illustration sums up the memories I had growing up with my little sister. We were inseparable and always up to mischief. If one of us got in trouble, we both would get in trouble and endure the wrath of our parents together. We had and still have each others backs, whether being bullied by a 10 year old, being there for deep & meaningfuls, showing each others immaturity, to sharing stomach stitches from laughing so hard.

I admire my sisters strength, independence and creative eye. She can talk your ear off, break out in random dance and be crazy at times.

I love my best friend, my Sis! This illustration is dedicated to you Lil-Sis! Maria, aka. Miss Spill.

TRAVEL PHOTO DIARY: BARCELONA

Exploring the location of Dean & Nat's Wedding Venue - A castle overlooking a panoramic view of La Baronia. Stunning! It was rich in elegance of the old world style.



We also had the pleasure in staying where the Bride & Groom had called their 'home-away-from-home' in Barcelona's El Born. The area oozed of eclectic boutique shopping, a variety of restaurants,  quirky small bars and amazing street art.

We didn't want to leave!

LIFESTYLE TRAVEL: SPANISH WEDDING

Finding out that Dean and Nat were relocating in Barcelona, Spain and getting married there - the whole family planned their massive European Trip!

Come September 2013, the location of Dean & Nat's Wedding in Spain was kept under wraps. No one knew the details, all we knew was the meeting place of where the coach was picking everyone up. It was a 40 minute ride out of Barcelona, weaving through hilltops, then the venue was finally revealed. A castle overlooking a panoramic view of La Baronia. It was stunning!

It was a beautiful venue catering various locations for the wedding ceremony, cocktails, reception to the partying and dancing. It was rich in elegance of the old world style. Well done Dean & Nat!!

We all had an amazing time!
