You're Sew Nice!

I got the opportunity to craft with Leslie last week Friday...it felt soooo good to make a card. She helped me make some samples for the store using some of the new Hero Arts stamps. She made two gorgeous cards - so shabby-chic, just her style!

The first card uses stamps from both the "Simply Handmade" and "Sew Artsy" set that are available for purchase at Pineapple Cove if you are on Oahu, or online .

I love how she stamped the spool from "Sew Artsy" and wrapped embroidery floss around it. Soo cute, I'm going to have to case this.

Great job Leslie!! I LOVE this card!!

Playdate!

Last week Tuesday we had a playdate here at the store with a group of wonderful ladies that I got the opportunity to meet and become friends with through the store. What started out as a two person playdate has turned into a foodfest day of laughs, fun & crafts!

We decided to do Mexican food potluck, and Yum-O, everything was so delicious!! Leslie made Pork Nopales that we ate with Diane's Mexican rice and Kim's tortillas. OMG - this was DELICIOUS!!

Diane's husband made this gorgeous and yummy salsa dip for us. It had just the right amount of spice!

You can't forget about the cheese & sour cream! Complimented our tortillas so well.

Claudette hosted the craft project, which was a tile coaster that we sealed with mod podge. She made THE BEST fruit salad I've ever seen & ate! I usually stay away from fruit salads because they tend to be on the watery & mushy side. Not this one...the mandarin oranges were so juicy and sweet, it had just the right amount of sweetness without being too sweet, and it was cold and thick, so refreshing!! (Sorry, I didn't take a photo of her fruit salad!)

We were so happy to have Jen and her boys join us. Here she is bringing big smiles to everyones faces with her silly & fun personality.

Cyrus was Mr. Aloha, keeping Roxy busy and having fun with all the aunties. Isn't he such a cutie pie!?! Jen's older son was relaxing in the corner, away from the camera.

Here's Leslie and Robyn, enjoying the delicious food!

Tessa (middle), made us some amazing peanut butter brownies from scratch! I've always had brownies out of the box, didn't know what I was missing until I had her delicious brownies.

Thank you ladies for such a fun day! I can't wait for this weeks playdate.

Listen to Your Heart!

Jen made this beautiful card using Cheeky Nurse that she picked up at the store for her Little C's Challenge. I just love the color's she used, and the sentiment fit the stamp so well!

It was so good to see her and the boys this past week at our playdate. I can't wait for the next one where Jen's going to show us her amazing skills with the Cricut.

Hop on over to Little C's Challenge Blog for some inspiration by her design team and a chance to win a rare stamp set from TGF. Simply get inspired by the photo she has posted and create to your hearts content.
