Ghouls and Goblins....Oh my!

It's Halloween time and I've created a Halloween wreath using Teresa Collins Haunted Hallows Collections and her very popular Chic and Scary Cricut cartridge.  Come and check out my post on the Teresa Collins design team blog.  Also, check out Teresa's blog for some announcements she's made.
Here's some examples using the  Cricut Expression 2 and TC chic & scary cartridge.

Aloooha!

We recently went on a much needed and a long time coming vacation.  This was our first time as a family going to Hawaii.  It was such an amazing time!  My husband has a lot of family there and I have a cousin who lives there too.  We were only there for a week and everyday was packed full!  We were all over the island of OAHU.  We got a chance to do things that locals do, eat and most of the beaches that are on the island.  We hit the beach every single day.  Family aka OHANA is very important in Hawaii.  You'll see through my photos that we spent a lot of time with family.  Be warned my blog posts will be photo heavy. 

We were able to board the plane before the rest of the passengers.  Here we are so excited for our trip.

Watching our favorite shows on the iPAD while enjoying some hersheys macadamia nut kisses.  So good!

I created this travel journal to add pictures and journaling while I was on the plane.  Well.....I found out that even on the plane I get motion sickness when I'm doing something such as writing or moving around to grab something.  So that meant I really couldn't do much on the plane.  Oh well.

Once we landed we headed over to my cousin's house.  We were starving since the food on the plane was nasty it made me sick.  Couldn't wait to eat local food.  We first ate at Juriso's.  I had the ahi katsu.  It was so yummy!!   The thing in Hawaii are lunch plates which consists of the meat, rice and mac salad which my daughter loved.  

 Next... SHAVE ICE.  It's the thing there.  Love us some shave ice.  It's not a sno cone either. You can add different flavors such as pina colada, coffee and add ice cream too. 

We then went back home to change so we can hit our first beach in Hawaii.  I was having fun with my camera and the lens I rented which was the 16-35mm 2.8.  Loved it!  I got some creative shots and landscape shots as well.   My photos we're all shot with this lens.
