A few hours ago distributing prints from the photos taken on Sunday. Sure was fun passing these out!
A requisite "bunker" photo -- once a common 'eyesore', these guys are becoming harder and harder to locate!
Up at Petrela castle with Mandi and Tiana
Here I am channeling my inner 'Anne Lowe.' Some of the women in the village are producing hand made cards to sell in the capital city. One bookstore owner wants a hundred by Thursday! I tried to do my part to pitch in by cutting 'Christmas trees.' The ladies are going through paper supplies faster than you can spell 'cardstock'. Thankfully, Melissa is replenishing our 'red' supply when she arrives on Friday!
some samples of their work!
Here's Tiana with a few of the ladies (and one of their sons)! Tiana is a recent Asbury grad who is helping them get their product marketed so they can hopefully supplement their income with the proceeds of the sales. Tiana has an amazing heart and determination to help, and the women love her!There are several more photos on my Facebook album, unfortunately I can't get the link to post! Maybe another day...

Cydil, I absolutely love the cards!!! The women are so talented!! God bless the girl who is helping them and You also.
This summer we bought some cards to help missionaries in Kenya.
PS The writing in the beach sand reminds me of when you were in Albania to get your precious daughter.
Ha, ha. I really did laugh out loud when I read this. I'm glad a tiny part of me could be with you in Albania :). And the cards look really great by the way. I may have to steal some of the ideas.
Now, too bad I can't channel my inner Cydil Waggoner when I am taking pictures.
Great photos Cydil! Good to see some sights of Albania...wish we could visit again one day...just a bit tricky from Uganda.
