Modern Toy Boxes

Just recently I wrote a post over at designing moms blog regarding modern toy boxes. I figured I'd share here as well... Enjoy!

"Fuji Toy Box by Argington"

Working with a limited living space I've had to rearrange furniture 100 times since my son was born to accommodate everyone but primarily to preserve my sanity! Key to keeping this place looking organized is having workable storage/toy boxes. Here are some modern toy boxes that would compliment any modern nursery and/or living room and some also have the Green Factor plus! Check them out:

My little big man is 3 today and I can't believe it! Here is a picture of him at 2months old. He has always been the cutest baby you have ever seen... OK perhaps I'm a little bias... but just a little ; P.

Happy Birthday lindo!

September Birthday

On Sept 9th we celebrate our son's third birthday and since he's too young to have his own mycharity birthday page we decided to start one for him. http://mycharitywater.org/Emmanuel

Here are some facts you ought to know:

$20 means one person can get clean water for 20 years.

$250 means two families of six can get clean water.

$5,000 means clean water for a community of 250.


With your support, we can help charity : water continue to bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations!

Please join us in helping and remember no gift is too small for those in need!

Know anyone born in September, ask them to join charity : water's September Campaign.

Ok once you are done drooling over the rock pictures in the post below please proceed to check out our new Fall 09. To celebrate the new season I will be extending our BACK TO SCHOOL END OF SUMMER SALE until Sept. 12!!! Take advantage while it last. My apologies to those who tried to access our e-boutique last night. I have redesigned all my pages to accommodate fall. Make sure to clear your cookies in order to view our new face-lift site.

With all the turmoil taking place in my personal life I am truly happy I had this artistic outlet to keep me sane. Hope you enjoy it as much I have making it. Thank you for your support and for continuing to grow with us... Cheers!

Earthy Beginnings Commercial

Yeah you read that correctly!!! I have been extremely lucky to have crossed paths with a gentleman by the name of Chris Lee, the director behind Onward Films. His story, truly inspirational and a definite must read! We decided to join forces and capture a true celebration of childhood through a mini rock video using my Musician's Corner Collection! And as if that was not HUGE enough, his wife, a photographer extraordinaire, decided to join in. Below are pictures taken the day of the shoot by Gina Lee (Gina Lee Photography). The video is still under production but when its ready I'll be posting it up for all of you to enjoy... for now I leave you with this...

Onward Films : MISSION
Part of my personal work as an artist is to utilize the art of film as a vehicle for social change.
In doing so, I set out to promote and preserve the e belief that every child should be afforded the opportunity to live a healthy and happy life, as well as raise awareness about social issues that directly, or indirectly, affect children.

... yes, there are actually people out there that genuinely do care. Hopes this inspires you today...
