It has been almost 15 years since I came to the United States
and this beYOUtiful country welcomed me with open arms…
As many of you know I was born and raised in the Canary Islands.

As many of you know I was born and raised in the Canary Islands.
There I learned about love… about hard work… about tradition…
about family…about finding
joy in the most simple things in LIFE!

After all these years I can say however that my
heart beats at the rhythm of two anthems…
My Spain will always have my roots…
My Spain will always have my roots…
and the USA will always have the fruits of the tree…
There I gave my first steps
and here I have experienced seeingmy children take theirs…
There I became a daughter and here I became a mother…
There I had many great friends and here I found my best one.

Hi Desiree, I love the table you did on your last post! Where did you get
the vinyl sticker with your name in it? Did you make it? Do you use a
silhouette?
And last question… do you sell custom vinyl that large?
Thanks for the info, I found you on Ask Anna and Im your newest follower!
Great project!
