A Snowman Card

Hola everyone!

I've been working on some Christmas cards for the past few weeks.  I love the challenges posted in some groups in Facebook.  It motivates me to create.

Here's my latest creation.  A Snowman Card!

I got the image from here, which also inspired me on the design of the card.  I used sequins for the snow, and the stamp "Let it Snow!" is a clear stamp I got from Oriental Trading a looooong time ago.

Hope you like it and inspires you to create!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Peace and healthy days!

Operation Christmas Child

Hola everyone!

It is that time of the year again, when we get ready to support Operation Christmas Child.  

This year we are doing a box for every month of the year.  Some of my boxes have home made jean dogs,  owls, pencil holders, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes, coloring books, crayons, small puzzles, stickers, wash clothes, tshirts, sandals, balls and balloons.

I hope you are able to join us this year in Operation Christmas Child!  Remember, collection week is this week, from November 17 to the 24.  To find a collection center close to you, click here.

Peace and healthy days!

Ethel's Monologue - American Horror Story

Hola everyone!

There have been a series of things going on in Puerto Rico that have made front news in several news portals... I am ashamed of what is going on, and I really wish I could do something about it.  

I love my island and its people.  My family lives here, my friends are here, I work here... My life is here.  But everthing that has been going on, makes me wonder if I should consider doing what a LOT of puertorricans are doing: moving to other states.

I want to have hope.  I want to see things get better.  And tonight, watching American Horror Story in my DVR, I came across this monologue which touched me deeply, so I decided to share with you:

I agree.  We need to take control.  We need to stop conforming with what is placed before us.  Let it be taxes, criminality, unemployment... We need to take a stand and rebel as a country against all the injustice, against all the wickedness.  It is time.

Peace and healthy days to you all.

Besitos,
