You're My Inpsiration

I dedicate this post to all you gals who have inspired me with your creative projects, awesome coloring, and amazing tutorials. Your generous & loving spirit just impresses the heck out of me.
I've learned much through your blogs and have made many new friendships which I know that I will cherish for many years.
Here's an inspiration badge made by OhioMary at A Latte Inkin' Fun. I pass this on to you - in no particular order:

Teri, Jen Y, Jodi, Kyoko, Linda, Michelle U, Joy, Denise, Jamee, Brenda, Michelle H, Elena, Dawne, Nicky, Enjoli, Jenny V, Janis, Jenny from Hilo, Marisa, *~Joni, Berenice.

Jane N, Naoko, Jacque & the rest of the SU! Pacific Stampers.

There are many more of you whose blogs I visit daily, but, my brain seems to have stalled...not too worry, it happens often!

Pass this award badge on to anyone who inspires you.

Mahalo all for your inspiration!

Awards!

Thanks, Jenny for this award. Linda and Brenda had also honored me with this award. It just really brightens my days! I've met and made many new friends through blogging. What a great way to share ideas & friendships!
Sweet Marisa passed on this award to me. I'm so honored! Thanks, Marisa!!!
I'm more like a collector than a creator!
7 interesting things about me....hmmmm:
1. I watch a variety of shows from cartoons to HGTV to ESPN. Disney Channel is one of my favorite stations. The tv is always on when I'm home.

2. Basketball is my all time favorite sport. I've been a youth basketball coach for 8 years.

3. I LOVE chocolate & Pepsi (well, now I have to drink Diet Coke cuz the body love to store fat at my age!)

4. I am not a creative person, I am just really good at copying others.

5. I lived in Japan for 2 years teaching English. Poor kids only learned basic pidgin English!

6. I am useless in the kitchen! Cooking rice and Spam are my specialties.

7. My 3 keiki were not planned (at all!!), but, I love them more than anything!

I know that many of you have received these awards already and I'm passing it right back to everyone! Thank you all for your inspiration and allowing me to copy your creations!!

Malama pono (take care!),

July OCS From Marisa

After 2 days of stand up paddling, my shoulders are killing me! But, boy was it F-U-N, fun!! We paddled in Kaneohe Bay and the conditions were great! I can understand why it's such a craze! You get exercise & have fun! So lucky we live Hawai`i!! Anyway, onward to the card:

I received my July OCS from Marisa and it's a beaute! She made the tri-fold or accordian card which I have not attempted to try yet because it looks hard. The details are super! Love the colors! Marisa was also kind to include some DP & ribbon as a thank you for a Starbuck's card that I had sent.
Thanks, Marisa!! You didn't have to send a RAK. But, I love the colors of the papers & the ribbons are fun!

I also want to thank Linda and Brenda for sending me awards. I'm flattered, it's so sweet of you to think of me. I send out the awards to all you awesome bloggers out there who inspire me daily. Without your creative ideas, I'd have nothing to craft! So, I dedicate both awards to you!!!

Aloha Friday!

Thanks, Joy and Kyoko for this great award! I'm tickled pink! It's you and all the other ladies you listed who inspire me. I love checking out everyone's blog and CASEing their ideas. I send this award back out to everyone on Joy's list!
I lived in Japan for 2 years teaching English. It was awesome! I got to ride the trains, buses, ferries, bicycles and even drove! Nope, can't speak Japanese. Only the important things like "where's the bathroom?" "what's that we're eating?"

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!
