WOW what great blog candy!
ReplyDeleteAmazing card.
My favorite thing about America. Well, since my folks aren't actually native to this country(my mom & step-dad). I appreciate just how much freedom we do have here in America and even though times may be bad economically I only have to think of my family back home in the Philippines to realize that it could be worse.
Just became a follower.
Happy 4th of July!

ReplyDeleteWhat I love about America is it's people. No matter what anyone, including Americans, says about us we stick together and back each other up.
I've not experienced living anywhere other than the U.S. (but have visited other countries). So, I would say the freedoms and safety that we do have compared to other places.
ReplyDeleteLove your card!
ReplyDeleteI love my country because we have a Constitution to protect our freedoms and rights
