Still here!

Wow! So I've been gone a really long time! My scrap room had never been quiet this long before... But I'm itching to go back now... and what better way than with Scrapbook Challenges! Yep, I made the '15 Winter/Spring Sketch Crew! There will be a special reveal this Wednesday, so make sure to stop by to see the new sketch and all the pretty layouts. 

I can't show you my new layout yet, but I will give you a peek of the main photo that's on it!



Yes, that's the Machu Pichu in the background! We went to Peru last summer. What a trip!! We came back with tons (I'm not kidding!) of beautiful pictures and wonderful memories. We loved the country and the people. The country itself is beautiful and so varied. From the tropical forest to the high mountains, from Lake Titicaca to the huge sand hills of the coast and the mysterious Nazca lines. It's heart wrenching to see the difficult life conditions that too many of its people have to endure. Despite all the poverty, we found Peruvians to be friendly and very hard-working. This is the kind of trip which opens your eyes to what life is like in many parts of the world and makes you realize how very lucky we are.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our trip.

Lima:
La Plaza de Armas

Waiting to meet real ones! lol!
 Beautiful cathedral

One of Lima's parks. In the winter time (our summer), it's always cloudy and misty in Lima...


Tropical forest:





The mountains and Cuzco:







Lake Titicaca and the floating islands of the Uros:






The Nazca Lines seen from the air:



Just to show how huge these things are!!

These are just a few of the many amazing things that we saw and did in Peru! This trip will keep me scrapping for a long time! 

Don't forget to stop by Scrapbook Challenges on Wednesday to see the first reveal of the new team! See you then!
