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!

Gorgeous card, and perfect way to use the Mahalo.
LOL! Such a funny story! Poor thing! And your card is fantastic! LOVE those tall, chubby trees!
LOVE your card, Marlena~and the cute story...I didn't know you are living in Hawaii. How wonderful! One of my favorite trips with my DH was the two weeks we spent touring the Islands and their breathtaking scenery.
This is gorgeous Marlena!
This is WONDERFUL Marlena! Love your trees and how you put all those great details together! Thanks for playing with us at WMSC, hugs, Karin
I heard 'mahalo' used often when I visited Hawaii in October. It's a lovely word! And I like how you used it on your card, being thankful for blessings. :) Happy Thanksgiving, Marlena!
OH! That is a funny story--and I feel HORRIBLE for your new friend! Poor thing!! Glad you were there to help!
