Aloha, all! Last year when we lost our home to the Kilauea Volcano eruption, dozens and dozens of sister Stampin’ Up! demonstrators sent me their handmade greeting cards.

A Belated Birthday Wish!
Aloha, all! I have spent the past week just crafting away, not that you’d notice from my posting here. But it was craft or post, and craft won. In the midst of all that not posting, I missed the fourth of the birthday cards that I mentioned last week, but it was actually the first… [Read More]

Besides that I’m not used to all the buildings and… [Read More]
