Framed.....


Here is my finished project number one from our vacation! :) This was so very hard to pick just 16 pictures for these collages. We took a whopping 1500 pictures between my husbands parents and ourselves! Yep, it was so very obvious that we were tourists, but who cares! It was wonderful! The flowers were absolutely breathtaking! So, here is the collage that I managed to put togther as well as a souvenir that we picked up at the flea market at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu! If you ever go to Oahu, be sure to check it out! It was open Wed, Sat, and Sun. I spent about 4 hours there and could have easily spent more! ;)
There are three more posts that go along with this one below! Sorry I have to do it that way but for whatever reason you can only enlarge one picture on each of my posts.

Very nice Ditty! I love the mask too! And now you have soooooo many great memories to last you over the next 15 months until you're able to make more! I know what you're going through, and all of you will be in my prayers everyday! I love you all!

Wow 1500 pictures? But I suppose that a trip like that one with all the GORGEOUS scenery needs that amount of photos. Sounds like you had the most amazing time. And that mask....the ultimate souvenir!!!

Very nice!! Looks good all hung like that!! :)
I saw Nate on Oprah one time say that you shouldn't frame pictures in a collage like that, but I *love* how they look together - I have a few collage frames myself. I don't understand why he's so against them! But whatever!!

Welcome back! :)

Thank God for digital cameras, huh! 1500 pictures would have made you broke in the good ol' days. I am so glad you all had a great time away! Let these memories carry you through until Mitch is home again.

Love and hugs ~

Sending blessings to Mitch as he prepares to leave. Be strong Kristen and know we are grateful that brave military men (and women too) such as Mitch and Jason are serving our country so proudly.

The vacation pics are lovely - so glad you had the opportunity to go and have a wonderful time together. Haali is so pretty - you all look terrific!

We visited Oahu some years ago and loved it. We stayed in a beach hotel near Diamond head, away from the town, and took some time to drive round the isalnd, seeing such beautiful places. As you say, the flowers are unimaginable, especially the orchids.

Hey, did you ever move that frame? Anyway, the sand here is just a little different than the sand there. I am a lucky man, I have a wonderful wife and two wonderful children. God has blessed me and I am very thankful for all three of you. I love you all, until next time. MH

Just found your easter candle craft it was fantastic do you have any other crafts that have a message to go along with them? My husband and I just moved to a remote town of 900 people and I want to start a young mothers group and would love to do some of your crafts as I think it would be a great draw.

Proverbs 31: 10-31

While the woman described in Proverbs 31 may seem to be unatainable, I have made it my goal to learn as much as is possible about her in order to make myself a more capable and virtuous woman in God's eyes.
