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.

Praise with Pink



I didn't know if I would have a card to share today but I was able to get one made last night. Will tell you more about my day later....

The focal point of this card is from Word Art Wednesday #17; the sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches #24 and Repeat Impressions has a Spring Challenge to make a card with pastel colors -- I went with a monochromatic pink and white. For embellishments I have used pearls, satin ribbon, ribbon flowers with pearl centers and a Martha Stewart branch punch. Patterned papers are from Stampin' Up.

Larry and I prepared lunch yesterday for the ladies at the assisted living home where his mother lives. We had chicken gumbo, potato salad, tomato slices and french bread. We also had a couple of friends who played musical instruments (guitar and clarinet)  for a short while before and during lunch. They played tunes like Sweet Georgia Brown, Take Me Out to the Ballgame, Ke Sera Sera, and others, finishing up with A Whiter Shade of Pale. A good time was had by all and there were blessings all around!

As the Word Art on my card says, hope you are all filled with joy because of Him!
