Juliya...RAK giveaway here!!



I'm honored to be part of the memories leading up to the adoption of this precious little girl. This family is blessed to be adopting her all the way from Russia. They needed help making a memory book for her to keep until she gets to come "home". Some of the journaling is in Russian to help her caregivers read the book to her. Juliya is about 28 months old...so we have laminated a copy for her to keep. Thanks for visiting!! Leave me some love and good wishes for this family on this post and I'll draw a random winner for an acrylic "house" album from Pageframe Designs! I'll draw a winner on Sunday April 6th!!!!
Credits: I've used PSE 6.0 and digital elements from Nancy Kubo: So Sweet Papers, Totally Sweet Elements, & Totally Sweet Doodles at Primahybrid; Dale Ann Cubbage Three Wishes at Little Dreamers designs; Michelle Coleman Wild Sorbet at Little Dreamer Designs.
