I included a gas pump receipt stapled to a journaling card.  I added my journaling by hand, added the orange stickers.   I had to include this shot of Jordan doing his math.  He always touches his fingers to his chin or nose when he counts. I think it is so cute. I also did this week’s dates on a white flag instead of a kraft flag. I am resisting going back to change it to match the previous weeks.Hambly Washi Tape.  Label from a treat we bought at Shirokiya: custard filled fish shaped waffles. super yum. also thickers numbers and smash date stamp in gray.
Date stamp right on the picture. Studio Calico Scrap Pads, machine stitching.  Jordan says: I bet Miso Soup would be really good at the North Pole.  He also called our breakfast Muff-funs.

Also, in case you are wondering, bfdof is our family phrase: Big Fat Day Of Fun.  It is used like this: Are  you ready for a big fat day of fun?  or Oh, there is no whining on our big fat day of fun! OH! No arguing on a big fat day of fun! A big fat day of fun is any day where we are out all day on our adventures. this does not include shopping trips or that kind of thing. only stuff that could be considered fun by the majority of the family members. like the aquarium, zoo, museum, movies that kind of thing.  This week I really embraced the freedom of Project Life. I chose not to include some of my #p366 pics and chose more that had a story to go with. it makes me happy.

Thanks for Stopping By!
Love Love and Blog You Later,

Joscie, rhymes with Bossy :)

Last night was our monthly crop night at church.It’s always fun to see the ladies and chit chat while our hands are busy. I ended up making a few cards.

First I’ll recap the past few Pictures of the Day.
4.16: Jordan is drawing on his magna doodle. He says, “Mom, I make a human!” He is so funny!

4.17: Jordan running around in the living room with one of his favorite toys, his “lellow ears”.

4.18: another shot of the lellow ears…

This morning Jalen woke me up saying, come on Mom, it’s 5:59! Let’s go downstairs! Okay son. So after we got some biscuits and eggs in our bellies for breakfast (and coffee), we decided to head down to Chinatown/Downtown for a Photo Field trip. Be warned there are a lot of pictures coming. and If you’re on dial up, I’ll apologize in advance. We had a great time walking around this morning. We saw a lot of beautiful old buildings (I so love old buildings) and lots of flavor as I like to call it.
4.19: Jalen and Jordan have really been into the superhero thing these days. When we were downtown, he said, Look Mom, an Alley! I say Okay, let me get a shot of you… when we came home, I said, look jalen.. and he runs down the hallway, Picture of the day, Picture of the Day! funny boy!

SO here are some shots down in Chinatown…. I am wondering if all Chinese shops (like in China) look like this.

some yummy duck…I cropped out the not so yummy stuff in the window.

a cool lion…

Oahu Market. This picture just reminds me of all old time movies in Hawaii…

I love these mail slots in all these old buildings downtown…

I love all the architectural details of these old buildings, they just ooze charm, don’t you think?

and I love the stone buildings!!!

Jalen was my somewhat uninterested model. I’ll need to find another one to drag around.

this was in front of Kumu Kahua Theater. I told Jalen it looked like a cannon to me.

a beautiful Hapu’u Tree Fern in Downtown.

This is Aloha Tower, right across Down town Honolulu:

we rode in this tiny, old elevator to the 10th floor to the observation decks.

this is a view looking towards ewa. Do you see the big pink building? That’s Tripler Hospital…The close up waterfront is where the Super Ferry Docks.

this is looking towards Diamond Head and Waikiki.

Looking out towards the Ocean. this is sand island. where all of our goods come in Matson Containers. If you move to Hawaii, this is where your car gets shipped. this is also where so many other goods come in too…

this is between the maritime center and aloha tower. a little area where you can buy handfuls of fish food for .25 and feed the fish. or if you are like us and you have some sweet bread from china town, you can throw that out there too.

this is a cannon in front of the maritime museum. pretty cool, huh?

OKAY, so if you made it this far, bravo! I really need to get to finishing dinner now. I hope you enjoyed our trip around downtown/chinatown. :) I was inspired to take in some local beauty by my friend Noel Culbertson… they did the tulip festival and a while back they did antique stores… and by Candice Stringham who just moved to New York and is capturing some beautiful urban shots. I know that we probably won’t always live in Paradise, so I really want to capture the things I want the boys to remember. Thanks for visiting, and until next time, blog ya later! :)

We had a great turnout for our AUMC Scrapbooking Passion Group on Friday Night!
Front Row is Debbie and Kristen, back row Me, Savannah and Lisa (Saner4-CKMB)
we had a great time!we went to the Hickam again yesterday, drove through burger king for some dinner and drove down to the beach to eat and take some pictures… My POTD is a shot of my boys… :)
and I even took a picture of myself. well actually Jalen took this picture. and here it is in chocolate. (photoblast chocolate action in PSE)
what kinds of projects would you like to see? what kind of decorating dillemas do you wish you could solve? or gift giving ideas? or or or? I am brainstorming what types of Hybrid projects to work on… and also anxiously awaiting all my new Heidi Swapp and Jenni Bowlin that’s on it’s way, woooohoooo!
My POTD for 3.30.08 my apron. It is reversible, large hibiscus print on one side and small hibiscus print on the other side. both sides have a pocket and it has extra long ties (in case the recipient is voluptuous like I am, it should fit!) I like it but i think it may need more. like buttons or beads (of which I bought both!) any suggestions? and please be gentle, but honest. would you be disappointed if you got this in a swap?
