Fourth of the dozen!

April it's been a really fun month with this project. I did miss lots of days in between, and had to "rush" to be able to finish the month in time, but as it gets sunnier and warmer I've been outdoors more often, and it's been a little easier to take pictures in different places and spaces.

Also, this has been a month of discoveries. I've taken the majority of the pictures with my iPhone and I've tried some new photography apps to edit my shots.

I've reached the 100th picture already! I'm so proud of myself, because perseverance it's not that into me.

Here you have the pictures of April. Let's get on with May!

Happy sweet birthday! (I)

Today is the first birthday of this little blog of mine!

One year ago I started Muffins in my backpack as a little "page" for me to write about the stuff I really love. I've known nice people with great blogs and I've found so many awesome things that I've really liked to share.

I hope this is the first of many good years full of great experiences.
Thanks for everything :)

Third of the dozen!

It's been an incredibly tough month to stick with this project. I've been tempted to give up with that several times, but luckily didn't.

I haven't been so creative, I only thought of trying to finish the month with the 31 pictures, because I had missed lots of days in between that had to be shot.

So far, I've completed the first quarter of the whole project!

Here you have the pictures of March. Hope to be better in April!
