A brief history of Cinco de Mayo:
On May 5, 1862, 4,000 Mexican troops using machetes, cattle and one really good Calvary unit held off a combined French-Mex force of 8,000 just outside of Mexico City. The smashing of the French troops stopped them from supplying the American Rebel forces and led to the end of the American Civil war 18 months later at Gettysburg.

It's a historical event, not just for Mexicans, but for Americans as well. And - you know me - any excuse for party is a good one!

Yes, I slept through American History in the 9th grade. But no, all history doesn't have to be that boring.

Included in the kit are 24 papers and 101 elements. You are getting 12 frames, 8 bows, 8 flowers, 6 stickers, 4 charms, 4 doodles, 4 dragonflies, 4 flairs, 4 knotted ribbons, 4 ribbons, 4 ribbon wraps, 4 roses, 4 strings, 4 string wraps, 4 tags, 3 cute flowers, 3 fireworks, 2 birdilicious, 2 chili peppers, 2 guitars, 2 maracas, 2 sombrero, 1 cactus, 1 cerveza, 1 chihuahua, 1 Cinco de May mari, 1 margarita, 1 salsa lady, and 1 sun.

Veinte de Abril

I have done very little besides sleep for the last four days and if you ask me, I should be back in bed still. But I figured I'd go in and see how it went for half a day. If I can't make it, I'll go home at lunch time and put myself back in bed.

I did get the Cinco de Mayo kit finished - there's 24 papers and up around 100 elements. I just need to do the previews, and pack it up. Look for it to be released this Friday.

Here are a few tags I made with it...



The Avacado poser is not part of the kit. I toyed with the idea of including her, but Charly's TOUs are a bit ambiguous and given all the up cry over TOU violations of late, I decided not to chance it. The fire works were a bit of an after thought, but I think they fit in well, so...



Mardi Maracas and Salsa Lady do come with the kit however. The alpha does not, but you can download it from Free Digital Scrapbooking if you want it.



I pulled some of the elements I'd done earlier and re-did them, the flowers being one of them.



I'm semi-pleased with the kit. It's probably better than I think it is, but then, I'm my worst critic. Plus I'm just not "up" for anything right now. Anyway, should be fun if you're up for a bit of a party, Mexican style.

Cinco de Mayo, BTW, is not "Mexican Independence Day" as some people seem to think it is. Cindo de Mayo commemorates the battle of the morning of May 5th, 1862, when 4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City.

The battle was important because the French were not afraid of anything at the time, most especially the United States, which was currently fighting its Cival War. Had the French advance not been stopped, they probably would have swept into America, claiming much of the Mexican Peninsula and the western United States as French Territory.

Additionally, Napoleon III had planed to use the egress into the states to supply the confederate rebels, but with the French line held, the Confederate army was smashed at Gettysberg, just 14 months after the battle of Puebla, ending the civil war.

Visit Viva Cinco de Mayo for the full version of the history of Cinco De Mayo. That should keep you busy until Friday when I get the kit released. LOL!

Julie at Bits'N'Bobs tagged me for the 8-things me-me. I promise to do it as soon as I have a bit more life in me. ::Yawn!::
