ALOHA!!!

Hello all my friends:) I am on vacation in Hawaii on the beautiful island of Oahu with my family this week and most of next. It has been years since we had a vacation like this where we can all be together and just PLAY! No work for me on this trip which is nice (aside from designing a project for this blog post and a few other details to tend to now and then but NO TEACHING!). It's nice to be able to just do what we want when we want with no schedule to follow... I could definitely get used to this!!!


Anyways, most of you have probably come here from the My Mind's Eye Blog as part of the blog hop we have going on. Thanks for visiting! Seeing as I had limited supplies with me, I did not create a layout but instead I created a mini album featuring the Fine and Dandy Collection. This is for the photos I WILL take on our vacation and it's nice to know that when I get home, I can just drop the photos into place!

This trip for me is about MAKING the memories so that I can continue to enjoy my hobby of preserving them! I have learned that I need to learn to live in the PRESENT so that in the FUTURE I can preserve the PAST. Simple enough, right? I hope so and sometimes I need the occasional reminder which is okay too!


My word of the month:

M E M O R I E S




So all the details for the MME blog hop are on their blog but here is the jist of it:

Start at the My Mind's Eye blog, follow the links to each consecutive blog making sure to make note of each designer's word of the month. Be sure to leave a comment on each designer's blog for a chance to win the ENTIRE Lime Twist Collection and email all words to amber@mymindseye.com for another chance to win! Pretty cool, eh?


From here, you will visit Jana's blog:)


Happy Hopping!


Trisha
