Local blessings!

Hello peeps!!

well, as many of you know, Hawaii as well as all coastal fronting the Pacific, was in alert for a tsunami... here on Maui we had reports of flooding but nothing devasting... counting our blessings that we were carried through safely!! Heartfelt love and prayers goes out to everyone, especially to those in Japan... this is a constant reminder that ANYTHING can happen!

so a planned night turned into keeping close watch on the news, chatting with some sisters on FB and a bit of crafting.... glad to know i wasn't the only one thinking about crafting at a time like this... but really what could we do during the wait?! not too much production on my end as the footage on Japan and their devastation was mind boggling... being an island chain like Japan, with low areas, we have to plan for the worst! stayed up for the first few surges, way past my normal sleeping time... yes, normal is about 3am, but when nothing drastic was about to occur, called it a night... or morning i should say...

did manage to get something done... and hey guess what?! it's for a challenge! LOL... ATS is having a button challenge!! so bring out those buttons!!! had to join in the fun to get me moving... and well... i paid homage to Hawaii again!

Hula Anya is yet another FAVE of mine from TGF.... hmmm, i wonder why! hehe... while on my cleaning spree i managed to find some of these old fern die cuts i had stashed and some hawaiian themed paper that i forgot i had.... again used raffia and my brown buttons suppose to be coconuts... if you use your imagination... LOL....

so very thankful that the outcome for the rest of the Pacific was nothing unmanageable! Still watching footage on Japan and my heart just breaks each time... the measures are unbearable and we don't know what they are feeling, but we can send them blessings! local blessings from my ohana here in the islands to all! until next time.... be safe, take care and remember to say 'i love you' today!!
