Chickens in the DR

Hello again!! 

Just taking a moment to brag on 

my daughter. She has such a big heart, 

and I wanted to share this story!!

This is the lo I did for the occasion:

The story behind the pix:

Vashti is just the sweetest thing!! After Christmas (2011) she decided that she want to send a goat and a dozen chickens to another country through Samaritans Purse. She was so excited!! She used all her January allowance and her Christmas money…$84 dollars.
Which got her thinking about whether or not she could do the same thing for CCS’s sister school in Santa Rosa, Dominican Republic. So, we had a talk with Mr. Krontz, who is in charge of the Sr. Missions trip to the DR to pitch her idea!! She thought we could get them a bunch of chickens!! He was thrilled. He told Vashti that if she could raise $100 he would match it, dollar for dollar!! I decided it was such a good cause, that I would match her dollar for dollar as well. She got right to work looking for ways to EARN the $100. She didn’t want to use gifts or her allowance. She wanted to work for the money. She picked dandelions for Opop at the rich price of .03 cents each. She ended up earning $27.51. So exciting!! Besides that, she cleaned my car, did some outside work for daddy, and helped Opop clean up his yard. She ended up with the whole $100 that she could truly say she earned!! Then to top it all off, daddy gave her $30 and Gram gave her $50!! This meant that when she was all done, she had $380 with which they could buy chickens. But she was so close to $400, she decided to throw in her May allowance to make it that even $400. Off the seniors went to Santa Rosa, with $400 dollars to buy chickens!! They were able to buy appox. 127 chickens, and food for 6 months!! It’s just so exciting!! Each family from the DR school will get 3 chickens. They were so tickled to be getting a means of having food. It’s just wonderful!! Vashti was thrilled to have been a blessing to the DR. Mr. Krontz had this picture made in appreciation of Vashti’s gift. On the back of the picture is the recite for the first 102 chickens!! In 3 years she will get to go to Santa Rosa to see the people and visit the chickens. She’s already starting to save for next years chickens!! God is so good!! May 2012

Thanks bunches for taking the time to read this!! 

There is always room for anyone who

would like to help send chicken to the 

Dominican Republic. If you would like to give

to this project, please feel free to email me!! 

Thanks!! Have a wonderful, love filled day!!

Feet

This LO is for the challenge over at 

Word Art Wednesday and at SB for the 

Monthly Sketch Challenge. 

I know this not the word art from WAW 

this time, but I did save it to use later!!

The story of the LO:

I asked my husband to hold the camera for a minute 

and when I downloaded the pix this was on it. 

So I told him I was gonna scrap it. He thought I was nuts!! 

(Like after 20 years he doesn't already know this!! HA!!)

I showed him!! He was surprised that I ended up 

with such a good lo with this pix!! Another reason I love to scrap!! :) 

The verse is Proverbs 16:9 

"The mind of man plans his ways, but the Lord directs his steps." 

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

I hope that each of you have a wonderful,

love filled day!!

Until next time..................tootles!!
