Aloha, all! One thing I’ve noticed about my attitude towards losing our home and garden to the Kilauea Lava eruption earlier this year is that, when I read of a friend dealing with cancer – of any kind! – I realize how less awful my own loss is compared to what they’re going through. I… [Read More]

Thank You Again and Again!
Aloha, all! Once again I send out a big, “Thank You,” to my sister Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators for all the love and caring they’ve showered on me with the dozens of cards they’ve sent to help me out while I’m in crafting limbo.

I am not a photographer (except when it comes… [Read More]
