Business Trip Varna - Collages

When I was working in Freckles, we used to go for business trips around Bulgaria to give presentations in front of our dealers. The purpose was to make them differentiate our products from the rest on the market, make them prepared how to handle end customers and thus help them boost their sales.
It was very educational and great fun!
Here is what else we did during our Business Trip to Varna, a lovely city located on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria...

One quick photo session with the sea behind, before we rushed for dinner :)

Varna... I want more business trips like this one :)

Wallpapers for Alexander

Sometimes when I sit at work and get tired or lost, I make desktop wallpapers. I just take a picture I like and start playing with it. Soon after Alexander's first birthday, I made this wallpaper. It was a symbol of our closeness, stressing that we had more than just aunt-nephew relationship... a real friendship based on Fresh Curiosity!



Here are some summer wallpapers, when Alexander got his pool :)



I love these mosquito bites :)



My little nephew will always be an inspiration for me :)

BG 17 - With Love for Alexander

My nephew Alexander was born on 17 Nov 2005, the first baby in the family after lo-o-ong time. His coming to our world was a big big event for me and I was feeling the proudest aunt. For weeks he was the only topic of my talks, the only thought in my mind and I felt I wanted to do something special for him.

At that time I was doing an internship at Retro Radio, Sofia. This was my favorite station with very cool people, who really made me feel comfortable there. I was working in the sound editing department and I was all day long mixing and preparing programs, jingles and ads for airing. Still, I had lots of time when I could do something on my own, so I decided to prepare a music collection for Alexander with 17 BG songs, which I liked at that time. Before each song I make an introduction in order to explain why I chose each of them.

It turned out a pretty nice product of mine! It made few people cry because at times my explanations were very sentimental :) This was my Christmas gift for Alexander :)

Here is the CD cover, where all the singers are written down:



Later I realized that this CD could serve one more purpose - if a person from another country was interested to listen to Bulgarian songs, I could just give them that CD. It contained songs of different times and styles. For this purpose, I recorded myself in English. I actually like the English version more.

Once in a few months I listen to it and it makes me feel very good while remembering the exact time my nephew was born :) It was one Thursday evening, I heard the big news right after I came out of my hip hop practice at Alfredo Style...
