BLOG HOP EXTENDED TO 11 OCTOBER!
It's BLOG HOP time to celebrate International Card Making Day!! You should have come from PAM's page. If you need to go back to the beginning CLICK HERE.
I used a merge of Karoo water and Aloe and a lucky commenter on this post can win the "Karoo water" image. (See rules of the hop below.)
This image is very well known throughout the Karoo (semi-arid area of South Africa). My Mom grew up near a town called Kakamas in the Northern Cape which is known for it's desert-like landscape AND export quality grapes!! It's a sight to behold - desert landscape broken up by lush-green vineyards.
DS4J is also offering a whopping $30 Gift
Voucher to the Digistamps4Joy store
where you can choose any images up to a total value of $30! Now isn’t that a
fabulous prize? But what do you need to do to earn it?

letters and put them together to create a short quotation. Send your answer to
