HAWAII STAMPIN' UP! STYLE: DAY SIX

Our last day in Hawaii, as sad as we were to leave Paradise we knew that our little Alayna would be born any time and so getting on board the plain for home was a bit easier.  I will share just a few last day photos.  We spent most of the last day walking around the resort and taking it all in.  The beauty and grandness is more than words can express.

 

 

Each night when we return to our rooms, there are gifts awaiting on our turned down beds. Stampin' Up! treats us like royalty and it so much fun to see what will appear each nigh.

 

 

 

My goal the next month is to stamp up a storm of ideas.  It has been fun sharing each day with you and I hope to post at least 3 times a week with some fun stamping inspiration!  Check back in a day or two to see the cards I designed using the new printed window sheets in the Occasions Mini.  Better yet sign up to get the email updates so you don't miss a post!

 

HAWAII STAMPIN' UP! STYLE: DAY FIVE

Each day is filled with special memories.  The Hawaiian Luau is one of them.  We were greeted by lovely little hula girls and they placed Kukui Nut Lei's around our necks.  Men received dark ones and women received light colored ones.  They are wonderful keep sakes.

They had local crafters booths were we could learn to make Lia's, sample Poi (that is one dish I won't be adding to my list of favorite foods), woodcarvers, coconut huskers, quilters.

Do you ever meet someone and it feels like you have known them your entire life?  That is how I felt when I meet Heather, we were on the 12 hour Grand Island tour on the 2nd day.  We have emailed since we got home and I know we will be life long friends.

Most of my life my friends have all been tall, Tom says that's not hard when your only 5'2" tall.  I have always been short next to Tom, but you can imagine how small I felt standing next to retired NBA Basketball player Thurl Bailey.  Thurl Bailey is one of the Board of Directors of Stampin' Up!  Often times we are blessed with his beautiful voice.  You can check out his music click here.

Anyone who placed a Hawaii Sale order was invited to a special make & take night, unfortunately I came down with the flu and for one of the first times in 11 years I had to cancel the event.  I wanted to share the make and takes I had planned for this special evening. You can click on the pictures to make them larger to view.

     

See you tomorrow for our final day in Hawaii!

HAWAII STAMPIN' UP! STYLE: DAY FOUR

Everyone on board.  Just outside the lobby is the tram stop which we took to the main lobby for the bus to the beach.  With all the beautiful water at the resort you might ask why take a bus to the beach?  At first we didn't plan to go, but pier pressure of our good friends and the guys telling Tom  their was a topless beach right next door, we were on the bus in no time!  He did know they were kidding... I think.

Hapuna’s white sands have earned it a reputation as the number one beach in the US and in the top ten internationally.   My favorite is still the beach at Half Moon Kay in the Bahamas.  The water was really nice and we enjoyed playing in the surf.

 

More than the trips themselves reconnecting with friends is always very special.  Miss you Sue and Deb!

The guys enjoy time together too, not worried about their hair getting wet.

I think someone did this sand sculpture of me, do you see the resemblance.

More Make & Takes from Hawaii.  We made these adorable little purses, mine has a "P" on it for Patsy, but it was difficult to capture on photo, so I am using the photo from our handout.  I hope to make these in an upcoming class so stay tuned!

 

Don't you just love this saying!

Sorry I got these posted so late today.  See you tomorrow!
