More Fun With My Paper Pumpkin Stamps!
Aloha, all! In my last post, I introduced two of the stamps from the set that came with the September 2015 My Paper Pumpkin monthly kit. I just love this stamp set as it has lots of fun little stamps that I can use in so many different ways! I actually wasn't going to use the set again quite yet as I had a customer ask me to … [Read more...] about More Fun With My Paper Pumpkin Stamps!

Pop Ups for Fall!
Aloha, all! Living in Hawaii, I rarely get to experience the colors and scents of a brisk fall day. This year is a welcome exception as we're traveling on the U. S.. mainland at just the right time for a fun autumn experience. In Pennsylvania and Maryland, the colors were gorgeous, and wind took lots of colorful leaves and painted the ground in lush … [Read more...] about Pop Ups for Fall!
Love Those Pumpkins!
Aloha, all! Can you believe that tomorrow is October already??!!! I can't either, except that I'm on my way to the United States mainland for my October trip there, so I guess I should find it easy to believe it's already here!

Scary? Not!
Aloha, all! Tomorrow I'll be "leaving on a jet plane" for a three-week trip to the U. S. Mainland. The first part of my journey is a 6-hour flight across the Pacific Ocean and that, to me, is a lot scarier than any Halloween card! No, I'm not afraid of flying. I started listing the reasons I'm not afraid of flying and it was going … [Read more...] about Scary? Not!

Still a Kid at Heart!
Aloha, all! When I was a little girl (loooooong time ago!) one of my favorite toys was paper dolls. I'd love it when my mom would bring home a book or a box with the doll and her clothes all ready for me to cut out. I was in little girl heaven for days! And here I am at it again! The minute that Stampin' Up! came out … [Read more...] about Still a Kid at Heart!
