I just came across these online.  I bet most people remember having these as a toy when they were younger. 
What a great idea by Christian Northeast to put together a couple of nice illustrations on blocks.
Wish I could buy them online, lets see!  

If there is anything that you must be up to today, be up to it! 
Meow is the time to get started!

This is just grand! Love is the most powerful thing in the world.

This is a beautiful Wedding invitation! 
Im going to my first wedding this summer :)  

 Summer is just outside our window, and we have begun another month with a  smile on our face. 
We have been slacking on our blog posts lately. You guessed it right, we have been spending most of our time out on patios, out on our roof,  and around any ice cream truck we could find. 
But its time to get down to business!

We are not only writing this to say hello and thank you for being such an amazing fan base, and support system but also wanted to let you know that we have a contest happening now until the opening of our upcoming event!

We want you to use your imagination, and do something out of the box! This could be something you’ve always wanted to do,  it could be something small that makes you happy, something sad that you have put behind you. Anything!
Send us a photo through the Instagram app and you could win a custom illustration from Uplift inspired by your submission, along with other goodies.

Just for you! 
Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?!

All you have to do is take a happy photo through Instagram, and tweet us at @weuplift! Easy!

So get on with it, go outside, or stay inside but get inspired by everything beautiful life has to offer.

We expect to hear from you! :)  

Our Contest for the Month of April has come to an end. When searching through the many submission, we saw this one from Caitlin Chisamore, a Toronto based painter who sent in a funny photo of her feline stretching. 

Thanks for taking part, everyone! 

This is our cat Leroy. We love him so much! 
Send us uplifting photos of your pets,  and you could win something special :)  

weuplift@gmail.com

Contest ends on Satrdaday.

It was only a week ago that I saw the video go viral on the internet. Everyone was tweeting, blogging,and posting it on their wall. I gave it 30 minutes of my time and was left speechless,  in tears and disturbed. 

That night, I stayed up until 6 a.m. trying to figure out how Uplift could get involved.
After a few hours of sleep I awoke, and started to do more research on the organization. I found out that only 13% of what they raised was going towards the cause. In addition, I read, and read some more about the war, and the ongoing battle that many people have faced over the years. I realized that yet again,  the Western society has displayed those who are poor,  and in need as helpless and hopeless. 
I was not okay with that.

I then,  a few days later saw this video, and was shocked. He not only argued that a High School student’s opinion was not valuable (At 6:00 min)  but also seems to me that he does not know what he is talking about. 

The war has been going on for a very long time, and has a background that many might not know much about, or understand. The kids now living in that region sleep at home, and are not in constant fear of being abducted. In addition, Kony’s location is unknown and rumour has it that he might also be dead.

I admit that I, by no means follow politics, and am not claiming that I know everything. I only am writing this with the  hope that when reading this, you will do your own research as well.

Dream big, do big. 

Celebrate Love!
