Hope House Home for Boys

The cards that I sell here in Chapala and Ajijic, Mexico benefit the dental program for the boys at Hope House in the nearby village of Ixlahuacan. There are close to 30 boys at the home and many of them come to the home having received no dental treatment. If you live here at Lakeside and would like to order a quality, hand crafted card for a special occasion and help me contribute to this worthy cause, please e-mail me at bettyinchapala@yahoo.com Card price is 50 pesos; the entire sales price is donated to Hope House.

This One's For Ashton!


I have to admit that it was much easier for me to make a cute, frilly mailbox for the granddaughter than this one for my 7 yr old grandson! Orange is his favorite color so I went with a fall theme. I love the little acorns on the flag -- those are Martha Stewart stamps. I also found a little acorn brad; I removed its "legs" and attached it to the flag with a pop up dimensional. The acorns that I stamped onto the patterned paper is from Stampin' Up. The tree is also a MS stamp and I used several different ribbons.

I'm busy making valentines for their classmates too. Will have a picture of them in the next day or two!
