Aloha, I know I have not been updating sorry Life has gotten busy but I wanted to share some exciting news with you. I got the word last night that I was able to join this awesome group of ladies from the Deux Shabby Chic. I have been scrapbooking on and off for two years now as making cards is what I like to do, but when I saw how talented these ladies are I thought why not try making a mini scrapbooking album. I was hooked after that. Why not make something that is created with love and btw that is the meaning of my blog. Bona and Arlene mahalo(thank you), I hope to be as inspiring as you ladies are. Until we meet again AlOHa

Hello are you there!Sorry I know it has been awhile well quite awhile but recently I had gotten an awesome RaK and I won some blogaversary candy. The first picture is from the awesome Denise. She is very talented and such a sweetie. Mahalo Denise my dd loves the bracelet so as of right now she is wearing it and showing it off. Mahalo for your thoughtfulness. The second picture look at that yum-0 goodies. Dawne was having her blogaversary and well since I visit her blog i figured why not enter and give her a shout out and to my surprise i won. Mahalo Dawne love all the goodies...Hope all is well i have been crafting but with packing, unpacking and cleaning it has been hectic..Mahalo for visiting and leaving such great comments..aloha for now....

These are a couple of RAKs that i made for some sweet ladies. I got this idea from Teri it is called a CD Holder. This is the first time trying this out so hey it turned out pretty good. I added some images and included some other crafty supplies. The images are from Nancy Kubo Designs and the DP is from Mindy Terasawa(love,love her designs)and the ribbon and CS from SU. The punch is from Martha Stewart.

This is for my July OCS look at that awesome card and all those Himawari Baby images. This is all from the creative Denise. So awesome i adore these images and so glad that she shared some with me. I guess I need to join the challenge huh Denise. I have something in mind just need to take a picture and send it to you. Mahalo for stopping by and until later a Hui Hou(until we meet again)

Hope everyone had an awesome 4th of July. It was awesome to see how the celebration is here as versus in HI. Everyone goes all out here and it was a blast. My DD's had a blast. Well I wanted to share what I made for my husband's niece. I wanted to give her something special from us. I folded the dollar bills back and forth and than folded them in half to make a flower. Her colors were black and gold. I am glad she liked the money lei...Have a great day.

I know it seems like forever since I posted but somehow my cord to download my pictures were misplaced and somehow showed up today LOL..I love these images from InStyle Stamps they are too dahling. This is a shaker card for a birthday girl that had her party at Build a Bear. My girls had an awesome time and I actually did too. The procedure to make the Bear was too cool.(sorry got sidetracked) The flowers were from Roses on paper(Hydrangeas) one of favorite embellies right now. Hmm..what will it be next month. The DP is from Mindy Terasawa and I believe the CS is from SU. Mahalo for stopping by...until next time;)
