Aloha, all!
Have you wondered where I've been? Well, I've been very near my craft room, but not in it much. Perhaps you've heard of the lava flow that's threatening communities on Hawaii's Big Island? I live in one of those communities.
The biggest threat for us is that the lava may cross the one road that connects our communities (many of them) with the rest of the island. The "rest of the island" is where we go for all normal everyday supplies and services, from groceries to medical care. As you can imagine, that creates some stress. The good news for us is that we have the opportunity to rent another home away from the lava threat. While we don't want to leave our home and garden, we are actively preparing to do so. When the government says we have to evacuate, we'll have to move.
That said, our new, hopefully temporary, home will have enough space for me to have a craft room. Meanwhile, I'm putting everything into boxes. And everything will stay in boxes until we know what the situation is going to be.
I really miss all my crafting and blogging and staying in touch on the computer with all my online friends, including you. The good news is that this is a business that allows me the flexibility to just stop for awhile, and then pick everything up when life is more stable.
Meanwhile, I'll be staying in touch with the Stampin' Up! website and blogs and will be sharing many of the Stampin' Up! blog posts on my facebook page, Robin's Craft Room. I'll also provide updates on the lava flow and where we are in our new adventure. I'd love for you to "Like" my page so we can keep in touch!
Keeping you & the rest of your communities in my prayers

Yes, I had heard about the lava flows! Sorry you're under so much stress with that threat, I just can't imagine, but good to hear that you're preparing for evacuation and have somewhere to go. Take care and be safe 🙂
I hope everything is ok and you can go back to your house. Blessings
Praying that you will be safe! Thanks for keeping us up to date!
Wishing you the best of luck! Hopefully the lava won't get near your home.
Thanks SO much for all your good wishes – whether you've commented here or sent me a private e-mail. It means a lot to me!
Hoping you and your family stay safe. Keep the faith.
