Teresita Blanco the Artsy Sister Recently Got Out of the Baptist Hospital
On Monday August 28, I was rotting away in my bed. For the last week, I had been suffering a mysterious swelling in my limbs. The swelling started in my right elbow before migrating to my left knee. From the left knee, it moved up to my left arm, before traveling back down to my left leg. The swelling in my elbows felt particularly painful. Have you ever been burnt by a cigarette? Well, imagine that painful sensation but spread across your entire elbow. Since the oral antibiotics where not working fast enough, we collectively decided to go to the...
Beautiful Flowers: Roses and Other Cuties
Today, I wanted to write a little short blog about flowers. It doesn’t matter where I go. If I see a flower, I am compelled to photograph it. I didn’t see too many flowers variety when I was down in Mexico. There were a few interesting ones here and there. The entrance to Xcaret also had an interesting looking flower bowl. All in all, I didn’t photograph that many flowers. I suppose that the summer heat did a number on the flowers. The place was practically boiling in some places, like the Mayan Pyramids of...
Sazon Cubano Restaurant Travel Miami Beach Flans and Three Milks
Today, I wanted to write about what I ate this weekend. I went up to Miami Beach with my family. Once the rains came, we got like super hungry. So, we decided to eat at Sazon Restaurant.

You have two choices of dip: mojo and black beans grounded into a fine paste. Mother had pork and my brother had a sandwich. Mine was made of chicken. It was really yummy, with all the elements in...
BJD in Navy Blue Summer Ensemble Photos
Today, I wanted to show you my latest bjd doll photoshoot. I have my tiny doll Mein dressed in a cute blue outfit. She is ready to go have fun by the beach side. I did a bit of photo manipulation in some of the shots. I focused on the color blue. I had a bit of a problem forcing the camera to focus on the close-up portrait shots. I do not know why it has such an issue with small dolls. In any case, it was an interesting effort to try to work around...
BJD Dream Valley Elf Doll in Rhinestone Shirt Cool Photoshoot
Today, I got around to making a new bjd doll photoshoot. After looking at all my dolls, I decided to use my guy doll. It had been a while since I had photographed this cutie. So, it was a good a time as any for him to make an appearance in Doll Theater. Doll Theater is what I used to call my stop motion bits. Doing stop motion takes too long. I prefer to do bjd doll photoshoots. You can still check out my stop motion work in my Youtube Channel Artsy Sister. They are...
