First Tag class - boy!, I'm exhausted!!
And here's the holder that we made - it can hold 10 tags (one of each tag that we made). Here we used 30" of the Old Olive 5/8" grosgrain ribbon for each kit...yikes!! I also used some Hodge Podge hardware, Dashing DS papers (my fave!), Well worn alphabet set for the word TAGS and jingle bells tied on with the gold elastic cord. I couldn't find any more of the assorted colored bells since I bought this container last Christmas, so for the class, I changed it to gold bells and it turned out just as nice! This holder has a 1/2" gusset in the middle to accommodate the bulkiness of the tags. Will post more tags in the days to follow...still have one more class this Sunday!! P.S. I was so stressed out trying to set up that I totally forgot to take pics of the class in session. Stay tuned for pics from the next class!!

I love celebrating birthdays!
I feel like a Princess!
I just love this card! You know that us girls love the **bling**. I'd like to think that I'm someone's Queen or princess, maybe a Queen "B" - haha! Thanks for thinking of me and making me feel special!
Do you like Make & Takes?
Hey all, Cheryl M. will be at A Place in Time in Kailua tomorrow (Saturday) September 15 from 10 AM to 12 noon doing a make & take with the Sizzix snowflake dies. The cost of the make & take is $5.00 for the projects. Be sure to stop by to say hello and check her out.
I'm so sad
Yesterday (Thursday) while waiting for the bus to go to work, my girlfriend asked me if that was my kitty that got hit and was lying on the side of the highway. OMG! dad and I were in denial at first but then he just had to go across the highway to make sure we were wrong. Unfortunately, he confirmed that Midori had been hit and she was gone. I think the initial news just shocked me and I did not cry. Dad brought her back home to give her a place to rest. Of course, we couldn't tell Nolan. He would be devastated before he went to school! (He found out after school and went to the garden to cry). It didn't hit me until I went to work and saw all of the photos on my desk and the pics on my screen saver. The tears filled my eyes. I had to call my sisters to tell them the sad news so that they could tell the girls (my nieces) who loved Midori so much. Yes, she was an outdoor cat but she never went by the busy highway. we will never know what made her go so close to the road. Thanks for letting me vent. For any of you pet owners out there, I know you feel my pain.

Thank you all for the wonderful titles and for playing! I will post the final page when I'm done.

The 25th Anniversary Okinawan Festival
We also saw a bunch of Bonsai trees on display. They are so perfectly made. So much time and patience put into creating one of these. I know I'm not ready to do one, no patience! Maybe after I retire huh!
After all of that, of course, we were hungry, so we went to check out all of the food booths! We had to buy andagi (donuts). We even tried the andoggie...it was a hotdog on a stick. Actually, only half of the hot dog. It was yummy! We bought the special okinawan plate lunch (Champaru) to bring home to Eric to have for dinner. He said it was good. The shaved ice looked so inviting, but one look at the line and we said, never mind...next time! It was such a fun and relaxing day for us. For those of you who don't live here, it is such a blessing to be able to live in this wonderful "melting pot" where so many cultures come together.
Suggestions for a scrapbook layout & blog candy!

Playing with my new stamps
I'm trying to use up my 6X6 papers from the sampler pack and also the velvet ribbon. I used my Swirl cuttlebug embossing folder on chocolate chip and decided to add some silver brads because I thought that area was a bit empty. Had fun with this card. I'm working on a bunch of Thank You cards which you will see here when I'm done making then and writing my thank you's!
I was just thinking that I usually don't have time during the week to post, so I'm like a weekend blogger - haha! Hope you all have a great week! I know mine will be busy especially since we had a holiday today.
Lunar Eclipse


Even though the photos that we took weren't as awesome as the ones that Dr. Hughes took, it definately was an experience, especially for Nolan. He was so excited that he bought out his telescope too! Eric layed his sleeping back out on the sidewalk right under our picture window. It was so cool and peaceful too! The sound of the ocean made me want to go right back to sleep!
Birthday RAKs!
This clever card and bag ensemble was made by my pal, Jackie. I love the way the swirls from the Baroque Motifs set stamped on the kraft gift bag and the acetate for the card look. Pink Craft ink. Love this! Thanks also for the sweet pink Tupperware too!!
Sending special thanks to my GF Sandy for the generous gift certificate to get a manicure and a pedicure! You know how I love to be pampered!! Thank you ladies!! You're turning me into a spoiled brat! I love receiving beautiful cards!!

aah - here's the wonderful projects!
Here's that pop up card that we found over at Dawn's blog - Dawn's Stamping Thoughts. I love the reaction I get when people open up this card! Thank you Dawn for sharing this tutorial with all of us!


These two cards that used last year's level one hostess scrapbook kit called Friends and Flowers. I loved it so much, I kept ordering it, so now, I have a secret stash of these babies. Hmm, maybe I'll have to break them open in October. Thinking of throwing an Anniversary party for my being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator for five years! Sounds like a good idea! We'll see if there's enough time to do projects!


Now these next great projects are all courtesy from our angel, Jen. She did a TAC demo for us. She brought these three projects for us to make! Thanks sister!
I'm still not used to that "gorgeous" bathing beauty we used for that Joy fold card - haha! Jen said it reminds her of her grandma. I'd like to see grandma!!
One of my favorite holidays is Halloween, so I totally loved this tag! This was one of the projects Jen did at her open house, except I wasn't able to attend because I was working at the Made in Hawaii show. So, thanks for duplicating this cute tag!! I love it!
I love the background on this cute zebra card. We used the cuttlebug embossing folder and then a sanding block. Because the cardstock has a white core, when you sand it, the white shows through. How cool is that? Love the color combo!
Here's Jen doing the demo for us. She is always so entertaining! If you guys think you've got entertainment over the blogs, wait til you meet Jen in person! You are in for a treat! For you island girls, if you haven't been to a TAC demonstration or party, give Jen a call to schedule one. She'd love to do a party for you. The hostess rewards are pretty cool too. I'm glad that she shared with us!
Well, I made it home at about 1:00 AM, tired, but so happy with my beautiful projects, a full tummy, filled with lots of girl talk too! I didn't do so well waking up "early" (7:00 AM) to leave for Nolan's soccer game. Of course, he still cannot play, but we went to support his team members. Thanks for reading this long post!
Girl's Night Out!
