Aloha, all! And, no, I didn't leave out a word in that blog post title! People around where I live talk all the time about how fortunate we are to "live Hawaii," not live IN Hawaii! But whether I live Hawaii or live in Hawaii, where I live brought me to today's stamp design. One of the online groups to which I … [Read more...] about So Lucky I Live Hawaii!

The Hilo FCE Fair is Saturday!
Aloha, all! While it may seem that advertising Saturday's Hilo Council FCE (Family and Community Education) Fair may not be related to stamping, it certainly is when I'm involved! Believe it or not, there are several Stampin' Up! demonstrators and customers in this group, and there are many craft items for sale made from Stampin' Up! products. … [Read more...] about The Hilo FCE Fair is Saturday!
Wow! It’s a Brand New Look for Robin’s Craft Room!!
Aloha, all! You would be hard put to find any similarity between that wonderfully neat new desk in my new blog header and the rat's nest that is currently in the real craft room. But I LOVE IT!!! Thanks so much to Michelle Laycock who took my ideas about what I wanted and came up with something totally unexpected, and totally delightful!

Aloha, all! There was a question yesterday on one of my Yahoo groups about whether having My Digital Studio would mean that we'd spend less time with paper and ink and real embellishments. As far as my greeting cards go, the answer is a definite, "No!" Although I'm a computer junkie, I still love my paper and ink! So, now it's time to send a Thank You to my son and his … [Read more...] about A Hawaiian Thank You!
Convention Swaps!
Aloha, all! Long ago I decided that I was NOT going to do swaps for this convention. For one thing, I just didn't have that good an experience at last year's convention with my swaps. For another thing, I was getting ready for my Convention Late Night Stampers demonstration, and we have a new puppy (check out his blog!), and DH has not been feeling well. So swaps were not in the … [Read more...] about Convention Swaps!
Simple Pop Up Card – Part IV
Aloha, all! Finally the card that started this whole thing. Ever since I first saw the stamp sets, Paradise and Greenhouse Garden, I envisioned them all in a bouquet. Then, when I decided on a Pop Up for my demonstration project, I wanted this bouquet to be the inside of the pop up card. I used both the Paradise and Greenhouse Garden stamp sets for the outside of the card, … [Read more...] about Simple Pop Up Card – Part IV
A Hawaiian Touch
Aloha, all! One of my favorite flowers in my husbands spectacular garden is the Hibiscus. We have at least half a dozen varieties, and they never cease to catch my eye when I happen upon them. A stamp in one of Stampin' Up!'s brand new stamp sets, Greenhouse Garden, is a 2-Step Stampin' Hibiscus. In 2-Step Stampin, you first stamp the background stamp in a light or medium range … [Read more...] about A Hawaiian Touch
