It never fails to blow my mind how creative people are in our mutual goal to reach 1 000 000 hand-made giraffes before 2011. Currently about 350 000 are collected. It really underscores the power of the Internet, doesn't it?<br /><br />Natasha - I hardly think you, of all people, is in a position to claim you have done less than me. Try playing my game for a while - focus on what you have done rather than what yet remains - you've done and accomplished so much (and I probably don't know half of it) that I would be lucky to fill my next 14 years with even a small percentage of that. If I in that time have a good education, a successful carreer, a husband and two gorgeous kids, having worked for several NGO's, having finished a marathon (more than once?), and being a wonderful and always thought-provoking writer (to mention a handful of all the things I know you've done), I think I shall be VERY satisfied.Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-11022269780418755242009-10-24T17:51:05.019+02:002009-10-24T17:51:05.019+02:00I can't believe you are not yet 24, Mari.

Or maybe it is just that I have travelled so much less.<br /><br />And that photograph is stunning to say the least.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-55661454658578625382009-10-24T06:50:33.569+02:002009-10-24T06:50:33.569+02:00I love your love for giraffes.
