Hawaii/beach theme

As you can probably figure out - I am doing a Hawaii/Beach theme with tropical colors. I found jen's beachy theme goodies at Theteacherscauldron.blogspot.com, her stuff is so cute. Then I found Corinna at surfinthroughsecond.blogspot.com. I can't wait to get to a regular computer and printer so I can download all her goodies. Sorry, that I can't provide direct links from my iPad.

I am making some things for my classroom while I am here in Hawaii, so come back and see what I am up to.

I did find this cute duct tape yesterday, not sure what I am going to do with it yet. But when I figure it out - I will be glad that I have 2 rolls of it.

Crafty

I wanted to make a sign to hang outside my classroom, so I went back to the craft store and found some wood letters. Then we headed to the scrapbook store to look for the perfect paper. I was so excited to find this Hawaiian/beach print. I sat on the patio, listening to Hawaiian music while I made my letters. I, seriously want to mod podge everything now -so much fun. Tomorrow I need to go to home depot to find a big piece of wood to glue the letters. I think I might need to make another trip yo the craft store for another project. I love when my mind spins with ideas.

Paradise Day 3

I messed up my back a month before I left, lots of pain. So I treated myself to a Hawaiian lomi-lomi massage. One of the ladies that I do feathers with is a licensed massage therapist. OMG, it was wonderful. My shoulders are a little sore, she said she had to work out the knots. I plan on having another one or two before I leave. Her house is this little tranquil place. Local fruit and flower tress surround her house, cool breeze with the sounds of birds chirping. Heaven It has been raining a lot, but the breezes are cool. It looks like the sun might just peek out for a bit today. We are having breakfast at my favorite place -crab omelette. I am hoping to do some school planning this afternoon or maybe some quilting, depends on my mood.

Test

I found an app for my iPad so let's see if I can post a picture. My little pineapple patch.

Aloha

I am trying to post on my iPad because my mother I law doesn't have Internet, man I depend on it. Any hoo, so glad to be in Hawaii. These Are the reasons why I love being here. 1. Hubby is here, miss him a lot 2. I get to eat fresh papaya every morning for breakfast 3. I have a group of friends that I can quilt or make feather leis with, so much fun 4. The rain, it rains almost everyday in Hilo, which I love 5. The people are so friendly 6. It is absolutely beautiful 7. My little pineapple patch in my mother in law's backyard. We have 9 plants now. My dad and I planted one of them a couple of years ago. One of them is about ready to be picked I am trying to post a picture but I can't figure out how to do it with my iPad, darn I am sitting on the patio, working on my quilt, watching my hubby weed my little pineapple patch, listening to Hawaiian music. Just a little bit of heaven. Have a wonderful and safe 4th of July.
