Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I made a great photo gallery for our wall at home, that was really easy to make and very effective. I think that if you are looking for a very personal gift idea for someone, this a great idea!

It didn't take long actually! It was done over two nights, once children were settled I'd get going but I was going to midnight, I'm not tired but I look at little haggard! I work fast though, that's just me, very focused, sort of a focused frenzy, you might say!

The thing is, it is very, very simple. Get your photos together in a folder and all the coloured photos are greyscaled and saved. Then I print to size (that was probably the most time consuming bit.) Then I coloured quickly with coloured pencils a very easy medium to use. I roughly cut around the photos because I sticky taped them on the back and the rough edges are not seen and it's done, pop the whole thing back into the frame and hang...and it is now, nicely on our lounge wall.
