A very FUN day with Joy!

Happy Hump Day!!! yes, i'm still under the weather... can't seem to kick this cold fast enough... i'm still feeling a little blah blah and hope that it GOES AWAY soon!! =) atleast i can still smile... hehehe! i am glad that the cold waited to visit me after this past saturday or else i wouldn't have been able to enjoy my small time with Joy and everyone at BFC... see!!
Joy, i can now post this on my wall and tell everyone i know a local celebrity!! hehehe!

anyway, so i atleast see Joy once sometimes twice a year, whenever she can come and visit Maui for the BFC Craft Fairs... this year i've gotten to see her twice so far... but it seems every time we get to see each other we are super busy with our craft things that we can't get a picture together or just simply forget to.... this time we got a chance to do just that! as mentioned before, i had the privilege of helping BFC Kahului celebrate their 60th Anniversary here with a make n' take and demo and i was luckily enough to have my table next to Joy's... we both were super busy with our crafts but at the end of the day we were able to take this pix together!! i had so much fun, got to chat with Joy before the day started and met some awesome customers of BFC who stopped by my table to do my make n take and watch my demo... time flies by so fast when you're having fun and before i knew it Joy was heading home! Hope you had a safe trip back Joy!!!

look at this CUTE bag i got from Joy!! yummmmy cupcakes, i love cupcakes!!! inside was a GREAT and yummy surprise too!! sorry no pix, i've been nibbling on the sweet treat and i think i have a few left... =D it was sooo ono!! yum-yum Cookie Corner Nibblers!! Thank you Joy for the goodies!! i have to hide this bag from my kiddies, they've got their eyes on this...
here is one of the make n' takes Joy was doing at her table... DD1 was able to make one with Aunty Joy.... so cute yah!! too bad my girls missed out on the limited edition bag Aunty Joy made too, they arrived late from their weekend activities, but if you didn't see the bag Joy had as her other make n' take, go check out her blog because it is reallllly BEAUTIFUL!...

Thank you so much Joy for a great time!! Hope to see you again in November!! and once again, Happy 60th Anniversary Ben Franklin Crafts Hawaii!!!

a big MAHALO for a big SURPRISE!!

Happy Thursday peeps!!! i'm on the slow boat today as i was up til 430am crafting and then awoke again at 8am... ooooh, someone want to send me some strong coffee... i feel like i'm hangin' and i didn't even take the drink... LOL... funny words of expression huh?!

so i know i said i would share my other Island Paperie card, but i'm gonna save that for tomorrow because i have a FABULOUS SURPRISE RAK to share with you...

funny story actually.... Joy of the Joy of Crafting did this awesome make over project that she posted to her blog on Tuesday... this project among some of her other fabulous recycled creations was using a 2 liter soda bottle that she used for packaging/boxing... what is that right?! just wait... this project is SO COOL and topped other recycled projects in my eyes... who would have thought to do something like that... and to make it even more exciting, she mailed it... anyway, yesterday, hubby went to get the mail and said the mailman was sorta smiling and giggling when putting the mail in our box... he didn't know why until he went to get the mail and saw this....
hubby came in the house and said "what is this?".... i can't even explain my bright eyed, ear to ear smile i had on my face when he brought it to me.... i was so shocked to see it come to my house!! WOWZERS!!! MAHALO plenty Joy for the fantastic surprise RAK!!! it is SO SO COOL i didn't even open it yet.... i'm still in awe with how fabulous it is to see it in real life... it's really different when looking at it through pictures and then seeing and touching the creation... i really like the unique-ness of the packaging.... very creative!! wanna see how Joy stuffed this bottle up?? take this link >here< to check out her post.... i'm telling you, it's so cool!

ok, so whoever left comments on her post that day was pretty much in awe that the postal service would actually deliver something like this right?! well, here's proof that they do!!!! cool yah?! it reminds me of those big balloons that florists and such stuffed bears and goodies into... except i don't think those could go postal... it's just an awesome way to recycle and be unique in gift giving... i LOVE it!

THANK YOU again Joy for brightening my day with this EVER SO crafty surprise RAK!!! =D

okie dokie.... i'm still dragging a bit from lack of sleep but mommy duties call.... come back tomorrow for my IP creation... and thanks for spending a few minutes with me... hugs!!!
