Scrapbooking and card making


Just wanted to share a card I made for Michell Andrea Berrio Nieto. She is the precious little girl that I sponsor monthly through Compassion International. Michell lives in Colombia. I recently received my first letter from her and was so excited!! She is doing well and let me know that she has a new baby brother. She told me all her pertinent information like favorite color, food, best friend, etc. The girls and I always make her cards and send her stickers the first of the month. Letters take approximately 2 months to get there. They have to go through a translation process. Luckily, I have my own built in translator in my mother-in-law. I send her what I want to say and she translates it into spanish. Anyway, I digress...here is the card.

About Me

My photo
I'm an outside girl that loves horseback riding, hiking, camping,or anything that involves the great outdoors. I from VA though I currently live in Selfkant-Havert, Germany. I drink excessive amounts of coffee. My imagination often runs away with me usually to an awesome horse farm that is self-sustaining where I teach girls how to mesh being athletic, tough, and leadership quality without loosing that gentle and quiet spirit. According to Suellen from "Gone With the Wind," "You can always tell a lady by her hands." I believe there is some truth to that statement. A lady should be strong and capable of caring for her family, gentle enough to quiet tiny tears, ferocious enough to scare away monsters lurking on the bed, and capable of hosting the next ball. I really love having fun doing things on the adventurous side, and the more dangerous the better. I also enjoy drawing and writing some. I absolutely LOVE Traveling and am drawn magnetically to other countries and adventures!!
