Today my family and I did a little activity to help us reflect on what we ate grateful to the Lord for. Each of us wrote several different things that I included in a scene that I made with stamped images from Sister Stamps. (Each of us colored a stamped image ealier thos week using Copic markers that is supposed to respresent each of us.) My hubby drew the turkey and the apple pie.<br />

I added googlie eyes to a package of silk leaces and made a mouth using a punch. I put a magnet on the back. I hope that each of you will have a blessed Thanksgiving. I am thankful for each of you and look forward to meeting some of you in person one day.

Friday evenings are when I have been posting. For the past month or so my family and I have been going to DL Friday evenings so I have not had time to post anything. Even though I have not been posting I have still been doing some crafting. Here is the card that I made for the owner of Lawn Fawn, Kelly Marie. I used a set from one of her newest stamp sets.<br />

She usually has a make and take a few times a year at a local stamp store that my daughter and I usually attend. I try to surprise her with a card and a treat each time. Her last one for this year was a few weeks ago. Unfortunately Kelly Marie was not able to attend the event because she was under the weather. I usually take a picture with her with us holding the make and take. Instead I took a picture with two people from her company that showed my daughter and I how to make the project.<br />

Hope that it cools down soon. A few weeks ago I got to spend some time with a long time friend and her daughter, P. I enjoyed every moment crafting with them and having a fun time of fellowship. P and I had a good time making birthday tags using a cupcake punch, cardstock, googlie eyes, a oval punch for the mouth, and sequins. <br />

My friend, P, and I had fun doing the marbling technique using a kit that my friend ordered online. P did this technique awhile back I think at an event and she wanted to show me how to do it. The technique I super cool and makes very pretty backgrounds. Here are some of the ones that we made.<br />

It's always so much fun getting to spend time together, talking story, and enjoying a nice meal together. (Friends that are sitting next to the window from front to back: Fran, Dori, and Melanie; Friends on the opposite side of the window from front to back: Sherri, me, and Brenda)<br />

They are each holding the a box from Daiso that I decorated for them using paint pens and window cling stickers. I filled the box with different cherry blossom themed gifts (washi tape, origami paper, and a magnet and two clips that I made.), two tea cookies and a cherry blossom tea bag in a little bag with cherry blossoms on them, macaron erasers that I added googlie eyes to,<br />

I am thankful to the Lord for these friends and for He has blessed our friendship together over the years. There are several other tea swap friends that I have not yet met and hope to one day meet. It's always great to be able to put a face and voice to the great cards that I have received. Before I ending the next few posts I will include some pictures of my annual trip with my family to Oahu. Our trip there is always so much fun. We more we go there the more we love it. This is the picture of my hubby and I at Waikiki Beach. We love that beach. The water was always the perfect temperature, so clean, and has a great view. We spent lots of mornings there. We never wanted to leave.<br />

We didn't celebrate until yesterday because various family members have been out of town until now. I am glad that 12 of us were able to get together to honor my dad, my two BILs, and my hubby. I made Hawaiian ties as tags for my dad and BILs and attached it to one of their favorite drinks. I wrote a special message on the back. My family and I included a snack with their drinks as their gift. <br />

I gave her a panda themed gift by make her a tag with a panda on it and giving her two packages of panda cookies. The panda stamp from Lawn Fawn is the birthday stamp that you receive when you place an order during your birthday month. I don't remember if it's from this year or last year.<br />

I can't believe it 's July already. I hope that everyone is having a good summer so far. Mine has been very nice and relaxing. It has been so relaxing that I have been feeling lazy and not really wanting to do much. I keep thinking about posting on here each week but when I am on my lap top I have not really been in the mood to write a post. Hopefully for the next few weeks I will be more in the mood to blog. Today I am going to share with you some gifts that I made to celebrate that summer is here. I made some magnets using pineapple erasers from Target and from Michaels. <br />

As you can see I am still having lots of fun adding googlie eyes to different gifts that I make. I am off to do some crafting for swap. I hope that you enjoyed what I have to share to today. Have a great week and stay cool.

Sorry that I have been lazy with blogging. I hope that all of you have been doing well. Since I have not been blogging I have plenty of fun things to posts. Today I am going to start with what I made with an Easter theme. First is the card that I made for a swap. The flower border is from Fawn Lawn and the stamp of the girl is from The Greeting Farm. <br />

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter a few weeks ago. My family and I had a wonderful one celebrating the hope that Jesus gives to us through His sacrifice on the cross. Hope to post again soon.

I hope that while I was MIA for a bit from blogging that all of you are doing well. I have been able to craft about every other week to make things for different people that I am visiting/meeting and for friends that are retiring, having a baby, etc. Last week I made for a card for Lisa See, an author that writes awesome books with an Asian theme. My hubby and I had a chance to go to her book signing at Vromans a week ago. It was great seeing her again and being able to listen to talk to her about her new book that was just released. Now I can't wait to find some time to read her book. After her talk we got to sample some Korean tea and a cracker while we waited for our ticket to be called for us to meet her and get our book signed. Here are some pictures of last weeks event along with the card and tin of cookies that I gave to her.<br />

A week ago during this time I would be making my Valentine's Day treat for family and friends. I decorated heart shaped frames. I didn't put the erasers that I made into magnets and put googly eyes on the heart. Now that I think about it I should have. </div>

Sorry my wishes are one day late. Well actually it's not technically late since the holiday is supposed to last for 15 days. Every year during this time I make tags or magnets to put on front of rice cracker bags for family and friends as a New Year's gift. I try to order or find in my stash a stamp that represents the Zodiac character for the year. This year I ordered a stamp from Dandelion Designs to use and made magnets. I also purchased envelopes from Daiso and put a lucky candy on it to create a lantern. I filled the envelopes with lucky candy. <br />

The festival got us all pumped up to celebrate Chinese NY. We can' wait to go back to try more try more onolicious and cute food and maybe see the show for a third time. Yes the show is awesome! We saw it twice on the day that we went. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

I hope that you all of you had a wonderful Christmas and is having a nice 2019 so far. My apologies that I have been MIA since Thanksgiving. When I was available to blog I was usually too tired. Although Christmas is over I still wanted to share with you the tag that I made for our gifts. Each year I make a tag that has a religious meaning to it. This year I decided to make a wreath using a scallop punch, a circle punch, and my gold pearl pen.<br />

Here are the handmade cards that I received. All of them are fabulous. I always admire people that make their Christmas cards and get them out on time. I don't make Christmas cards and I am already in a rush to get them out. LOL!<br />

Each holiday I like to surprise family and friends with a little handmade gift. I always pray that God will use what I make to bless their day and to remind them what a blessing they are to me. I am grateful for the people that He has placed in my life each day but especially during Thanksgiving. God has used each o them to minister to me and to help me be the person that I am today. As for our Thanksgiving we had some pre-Thanksgiving fun. We spent a few days in to Vegas. We had lots of fun but are glad to be home to breath the fresh air. There was much so much smoking there.

On Thanksgiving Day my hubby and I surprised our kids with tickets to watch Ralph Wrecked the Internet at El Capitan. We were happy to get fourth row center tickets with purchasing tickets a day before the showing. We were super excited to get to take pictures with Ralph and Penelope since they are only there on selected dates. We loved the movie and enjoyed eating popcorn from our kawaii popcorn buckets. It was great to enjoy a sundae to celebrate Mickey's birthday.<br />

On Thanksgiving evening we had a delicious dinner at my SIL and BIL's house. Before ending this post I would like to take some time to thank the Lord for each of you my blogging friends that take time to see what I have to share. It is my prayer that through reading my blog that you will sense God's love through what I share about family, friends, and my crafting and one day want to experience His love too. Have wonderful weekend!

It was optional to make a card with the theme "coffee" or "tea." Both of us choose to make a tea themed card. I made this easel card for her with a panda because she likes pandas.<br />

I took mini vacation from blogging. :) Well, this evening I am back and would like to share with you what my daughter and I did last Saturday. We went to Stamp Fever for their Lawn Fawn free make and take. We previously met the owner and designer of Lawn Fawn I wanted to surprise her with a little gift. I made her an apple shaped card using one of the apple die from Fawn Lawn and of course put googlie eyes on it. <br />

My good friend just like me loves Hawaii so we got her a HI themed gift. We got her a Hawaii 5-0 t-shirt in honor her turning the big 5-0 (It was my hubby's brilliant idea to get her the t-shirt.), got her a wooden place to put it on, and got her a lei. <br />

I remember it as if I was yesterday. Despite how devastating that day is I am grateful that God has used it to unite our nation. Every year my family brings some goodies, makes cards, and writes messages to deliver to a local fire station. Here is what my family and I came up with this year.<br />

I hope that this post is finding you doing well. I have been busy and very tired lately. When I am not busy I haven't really felt like doing anything besides relaxing or napping. Hope that I have more energy soon and is motivated to do more. Well today I am going to post pictures of my visit with my friend Cindy while I was visiting Oahu. I made this tag for her<br />

a bag with pineapples on it. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the bag with the tag on it. I put several pineapple themed products in her bag. Cindy loves pineapples so I thought that it would be fun to surprise her with only pineapple themed items. :) She made this super cool punch art gift card holder for me<br />

We have chatted online and on the phone but this was the first we have met in person. It is so awesome that we clicked off the bat. It felt like we knew each other for years. Cindy is not only a super creative and sweet person, but also a person that loves God. I look forward to seeing her again one day soon. Well before I end this post I have a few more pictures of our trip in Oahu. Here is a picture of my family and I on the balcony of our hotel room on the last day of our vacation.<br />

Although it has only been about a month and a half since we have been in Oahu we miss being there already. To help us miss Oahu just a little less we while we were at Disneyland on Labor Day we wore HI themed clothes, ate a Dole Whip donut, took a picture of a hibiscus, and purchased a Tiki Room themed bow.<br />

Summer ended for my kids last week. I am thankful that they had a fun summer with family and friends. I am sad to see the summer end, but both of them are happy to be back in school to see their friends. As mentioned in a previous post this post and the next post I will be posting about some the happenings of when we were in Oahu last month. On the Sunday that we were there I had a good time spending the day with friends while my hubby and he kids chillaxed at the hotel. My tea friends and I had good time crafting, talking story, and eating together. Each of us prepped a project for the rest of the group to make. Prior to going to the get together I made a tea themed tag for each friend in their favorite colors. On the back I wrote "Your friendship warms my heart" (Sorry the picture is not centered.)<br />

Before ending this post I am going to share two of my favorite pictures that we took. Here is one of one of my favorite foods that I tried (Mochi donut- We tried 10 different flavors. Just seeing the picture of the donuts is making my mouth water and crave for them.),<br />

My family and I just got back from beautiful Oahu for our vacation a week ago. We had an awesome time visiting with friends, going sight seeing, eating onolicious food, and just relaxing. It was cool that we went to the beach/pool 7 out of 10 days. For the next three posts I will be sharing with you about our trip. Two friends that I got to visit were Michelle and Grace. I made these two tags for them.<br />

We all had a fun time. Besides making the above I made a shaker card. My daughter made a stress ball and my son got to hold a riot shield and sit on and rev an ATV. Both of them got to take a picture with one of the officers. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fun weekend!</div>

Last week on Thursday one of my good friends and I had blast at Candytopia, a roving candy museum. It was funny a few weeks ago when we were talking on the phone I asked her if she would be interested in going to the museum. She said that she was going to ask me if I am interested in going. Great minds think alike. :) Good thing we purchased tickets that night online because the museum will be leaving soon to New York. It was an hour full of fun, laughter, and sweet fellowship. Prior to going to the museum I made her a this tag. I colored it with my Copics and fussy cut the stamp image from Stamp Annie Thing to put on the tag. My friend loves lady bugs so I thought that she would love the outfit the girl is wearing.<br />

It was a fun but exhausting few days. We were packed from morning until 11pm at night. Before leaving for our trip I made cards for the different people that we will be meeting up with. It was relaxing creating these sunset scenes. I write most of the cards at the airport while we were waiting to board the airplane.<br />

In Seattle one of highlights was meeting up with family and friends that we have not seen for awhile. What a blessing it was to see my uncle that I have not seen since junior high, my cousins that I have not seen since I was in elementary school, and two friends that my hubby and I have not seen for at least 5-6 years. <br />

I can't believe that it is so hot! I hope that all of you are having a good summer and are staying cool. We have been having fun catching up with family and friends and relaxing. Unfortunately I have not done as much crafting as I would like. LOL! Today I would like to share with you a Hello Kitty card that I made for a friend that my kids and I had lunch together with this week. <br />
