About Me

Single mother of two adults daughters.

My first language is Spanish.

I have a total and permanent disability.

Diabetic, open minded, not allergic.

My home is the playground of three old-crazy chihuahuas

USA CITIZENSHIP

I was recently banned from a swap because it was only for the United States.

Puerto Ricans HAVE United States CITIZENSHIP.

If you search on Google and Wikipedia: Commonwealth (U.S. insular area) you will realize that despite the Spanish translation of the term "commonwealth", Puerto Rico's relationship with United States is not a Compact of Free Association (which is the case for the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, and the Marshall Islands). As sovereign states, these islands have full right to conduct their own foreign relations, while the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is part of the United States as a territory.

The United States acquired the islands of Puerto Rico in 1898 after the Spanish–American War. The territory was organized by the Foraker Act in 1900, which was amended by the Jones–Shafroth Act in 1917. The drafting of the Constitution of Puerto Rico by its residents was authorized by Congress in 1951, and the result approved in 1952. Puerto Ricans have United States citizenship and vote for a Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico, with voice but without vote, in the United States House of Representatives.

Also we use the same stamps. One PC only requires one stamp. Don't waste your money!! Here's the USPS stamp calculator:

Favorite Crafts

Love everything: dolls, ATC´s, altered, recycle.

VERY IMPORTANT

I don't have a like or dislike list.

HATE color brown

Everything you make is always welcome in my home. Simple... Fancy... Happy... Sad... Religious... Wicca... Nature...

Health

A mess, but no matter what, aparently who cares but me!

UPDATE

I've been out for several years. Had to deal with a lot of changes of my health, family, my home and a lot of things.

I have three 1's since 2012 and ask if I may Angel someone you will be able to contact me or is me who offer my Angelical help.

I'll start slowly with my swaps till I get confidence again.

Short explanation but right at the point.

Thanks! 🌹

Hurricane Irma

05-09-17 With the imminent passing of hurricane Irma, I honestly do not know what can happen on the Island. I ask for the opportunity to resolve and what will happen in the immediate future.

Comment: Thank you so much for the awesome post cards and information. American History (I guess of most countries) is very sad - the things that have been done. How many people have died? Will humans ever learn? Very sad. take care and thank you, darla

Comment: I've never gotten a Zazzle card before! This is a first for me. My husband and I only moved because the house we were living in (a rental) caught on fire and is no longer safe to live in. We renting a new home now and it's much nicer than the other one. We lived in a hotel for nearly a month while looking for a new home. My cats didn't like that at all.
