Aloha, all! Happy 2020! What a difference a year makes. This time last year, we were still reeling from having lost our home to the Kilauea Lava eruption, and here we were stuck in this small apartment, surrounded by "stuff" that really didn't feel like ours - even though technically it was.

Ribbons in the Holiday Catalog!
Aloha, all! Have you gone through your Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog yet? I've been through it a dozen times or more, and I still find new things every time I peruse it.
