All Those Christmas Cards–the Photo!
Aloha, all! Here is a picture of a great many of the Christmas cards which I've been working frantically to get into the mail today (mail moves more slowly from Hawaii to the mainland, so we have different deadlines!) I have all my mailing labels printed out, and am spending entirely too much time making sure that the "perfect" card for each person or family. My husband … [Read more...] about All Those Christmas Cards–the Photo!
All Those Christmas Cards!
Aloha, all! Today I finally said, "Finished!" as far as my 2008 Christmas Cards are concerned. It's time to get them signed, stuffed and sent out! I started making the cards we'll send out this year back in August, in preparation for a class I was doing Labor Day Week. With all the various classes and stamp club sessions I've had this fall, there were plenty of … [Read more...] about All Those Christmas Cards!
A Floral Diversion
Aloha, all! The "aloha" is because we live in Hawaii (in case you didn't know!). Today, my husband, who is the gardener in our family, reminded me about why he loves gardening in Hawaii. A flower broke off a bush, and he brought it in to put in water rather than let it die on the ground. By this evening, the wonderful Hibiscus flower he brought it had again come to … [Read more...] about A Floral Diversion
A Bit on the Fancy Side
Aloha, all! Today I continue my effort to get my Christmas cards all done by the end of the week. However, I got a bit sidetracked by a friend's request to make a card for her to give with a "Welcome Home" gift. Of course, it had to be made today! But I'm all about customer service, so today it was. This also gave me the opportunity to use the beautiful stamp set, … [Read more...] about A Bit on the Fancy Side
Diagonals on the Double!
Aloha, all! After posting yesterday's tidbits from Robin's Craft Room, I started making LOTS of Diagonal Double Pocket cards, which will form the basis for most of our Christmas cards this year. Since I was doing so many cards, I started feeling like I really knew how to make these wonderful little cards. So, having created the Robin's Craft Room video monster, I dug out the … [Read more...] about Diagonals on the Double!
Great Use for the Diagonal Double Pocket Card
Aloha, all! Yesterday was a lazy day, and my husband and I capped it off with a quick trip to our local snorkeling ponds. And, yes, our "local" ponds are written up in most Hawaii travel guides! So they are well worth the trip for anyone. But I digress. As I floated on the surface watching all the various, wonderful fish--even a small eel--swim in and out of … [Read more...] about Great Use for the Diagonal Double Pocket Card
Stamp Club Extras
Aloha, all! My stamp club and I just didn't have enough time last week to get into all the projects that we wanted to. For one thing, all the club members are really new at this, and there is just SOOOO much to learn and so LITTLE TIME to learn it!! So I invited them over for a second session this afternoon. And what a blast we had! We worked on two projects that had … [Read more...] about Stamp Club Extras
Stationery is a Great Holiday Gift!
Aloha, all! I just finished completing an order for a customer who wishes to give one-of-a-kind, handmade gifts, but just doesn't have the time to make them herself. She wanted to give the gift of a Stationery Set. I can't believe how much fun I had selecting the papers and the stamps that I would use. It took awhile because I had to consider some guidelines that the customer … [Read more...] about Stationery is a Great Holiday Gift!
