Hello Friends and Happy Half Birthday to me! :) haha, it’s a made up thing for little kids, but I’m embracing it. I went off prompt today and captured one of my favorite snacks.

we don’t have a Krispy Kreme here on Oahu, so I bought this at Sam’s club. It was flown in from the Maui Store. Can you guess how much I paid for this variety box of KK?
are you sitting down?

12.78 + 4% sales tax.
but it was worth it, we all really enjoyed it. and yes, I DID eat a donut after eating salad, rice and sugar snap peas for dinner.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Friends! This morning we went out to the USS Missouri Memorial to attend the commissioning ceremony of a friend of our family. The prompt was the photograph someone wearing red. I have very few red items of clothing and most of the people I saw today had on white, khaki or blue uniforms. I opted for a shot of me with my red lipstick.

Here are some other pictures from our day on the USS Missouri (camera phone shots)

Hello Friends! No matter how many times I type the word friends, everytime I type it here, I type Fir and then have to backspace to fix it. Maybe it’s the uppercase messing with my typing. Also, in my short attention span head, I’m thinking the numbering of the posts may get more challenging as the year goes on. but anyway, here we go with our regularly scheduled post.

Today’s prompt is about what takes your breath away. Of course my family makes me happy, but so many other things make me happy too. Blue skies, white clouds, clouds colored by the sun, the sun, flowers, lighthouses, old buildings, wood fences, textures like canvas and burlap and lace and yarn, glitter, washi tape, rainbows and I could go on and on and on. Do you know what else makes me happy? This tower on Ford Island. They rebuilt or refurbished or whatever, they fixed it up, good as new. isn’t it pretty? and if you look up on the right side, you can see the moon too. :)

you know I took more shots. one that included my shadow. and one from the other side of the tower with the sun peeking around. and the bottom shot is just the sun in the sky. no power lines, no buildings in the way. just happy sun. :)

Tell me, what makes your heart happy?
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy February, Friends! :) it’s 2.1.12, a palindrome ;) ha ha, it’s the little things that make me happy. Today’s prompt was fast shutter speed. I did not get a chance to go outside to play with a fast shutter speed so when we came out from eating dinner and I saw the sun glowing all big, orange, and beatiful… I had to snap this shot. I like it even though there are power lines and cars.

I also wanted to share, I moved Jordan back to his shorter table and let Jalen stay with his tall table. Today was the second day of working on separate tables and there has been much less chatter, more focus and work getting done much more quickly. I also had more time to do some laundry, make up beds with fresh linen, vacuum, fold laundry… and boys to help me with these things. and for the most part they were cheerful helpers. It has been really happy in our home the past two days. same kids, same mom, same work. slightly modified work environment and the difference is wonderful. I just wanted to share.

Thanks for stopping by!

on inspiration

joscie — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:32:00 +0000

Hello friends! You know, I see inspiration everywhere. Not only on pinterest and in magazines and online scrapbook galleries but also in ad design, tv and movies, nature, store displays and everywhere. They say that there are no new ideas, only recycled ideas and that is probably true to some extent. In scrapbooking when someone is inspired by a project and creates something from that inspiration, it is called scraplifting. Scraplifting can be anything from color scheme, product choice, style of pictures, layout design and in some cases copying every detail. Creative Team/Design Team members create layouts and projects for designers/companies to show off their products and show you how you might want to use them. This can lead to lots and lots of scraplifting. In my opinion, scraplifting can be a harmless compliment to the original source. In some cases however, it just leads to yucky feelings. It is NEVER okay to save someone else’s work and then put your pictures over their and present it as your own work. It is also not okay to copy every detail of a project and also present it as your own work. Lots of grief can be saved by 1. asking permission and 2. giving credit where credit is due.

Thank you so much friends for reading my rambling! Lets go forth and do the right thing.

Hello Friends and Hello end of January. Today’s prompt was tiles, like scrabble tiles. I played a bit with my scrabble tiles:

and two other faves from today. Jalen and Jordan doing a magnet/compass experiment

and some yummy macarons we picked up after dinner today: coconut, vanilla, guava, mango, key lime.

the boys, on how to identify macarons:

Jalen- The coconut ones have little things on them.

Jordan- I hope it’s not bacteria!

those are so my boys. ha ha.

I hope you’re having a great day, thanks for stopping by!

Hello Friends, today’s prompt was catching yourself in a reflection. I pulled out this framed mirror and propped it up on a chair on a stack of phone books… and then aimed and smiled. several times. ha. I think this was my fave.

Hello Friends! Today’s prompt was the written word. We spent our Saturday big fat day of fun at Bishop Museum. One of the displays was about Japanese immigrants to Hawaii. Here’s the my #p366 shot, the written word. A payroll book from 1909

we also saw a shave ice machine and tray, a miniature plantation store, type for a japanese newspaper, a mochi pounding bowl, a pocket watch, a notary seal and whip, and a kendo mask. Outside the Science Center where Jordan sat on a nene goose, inside with Jalen in front of the silver discs. the planetarium, oh yeah and the death star, hee hee. science on a sphere. click any of these photos for a larger view.
