Mahalo my fellow bloggers/crafters/friends~
thank you for visiting me today!
*a note about MAHALO....
I came across a newcomer to Hawaii...and bless her heart...she thought that
everyone was calling her "trash".
Mahalo is said all over Hawaii...usually it is a "thank you, come again" farewell/greeting~
Well, it is also printed on trash cans.
As in, "THANKS for throwing away your trash".
LOL...poor thing!!!
I can see the misunderstanding~
I'M SO GRATEFUL I COULD translate for her that she was NOT being called trash. ;)
REALLY
TRULY
Mahalo is a good thing~
I used Waltzingmouse Sketch #123
Also, I used Erin's timeless chipboard technique here.
MAHALO!
COME AGAIN NOW~
