An "artist" award

My dear sweet friend Cami presented me with this awesome award. Oh my goodness - I'm not sure I can accept this one! It is dedicated to papercraft artists! Holy moly! I'm definitely a papercrafter, but not an artist! Cami, on the other hand, is definitely an artist. Please check out her blog if you haven't done so. She is totally inspiring! I will humbly accept this award and pass it on. Thank you, Cami, for thinking of me. Love you, Girl!


This is the really difficult part - the award rules:

1. Only 3 people are allowed (to have this passed on to them).
2. Two have to be dedicated followers of your blog and the other one has to be someone new or recently new to your blog and live in another part of the world.
3. You must link back to whoever gave you the award.

I want you to know that I consider all of you dedicated followers or you wouldn't be following, right? Heehee! Ok, I'm stalling. It's really hard to choose, so please know that in my heart, you ALL deserve this award as much as these three ladies:

1. Shirley
2. Kim
3. Berenice.

Thank you all for visiting and I want you to know that I really appreciate ALL the wonderfully encouraging and sweet comments you leave me! Aloha ...

A work of art & an award

Happy 4th of July everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful day today! The weather here in the islands is just beautiful and the various fireworks shows are gonna start in about 40-45 minutes all over Oahu.

I wanted to share this beautiful card I received from my DF Shirley, all the way from the UK! I've been admiring Shirley's cards for a while now, and got to see a couple of them in real life. If you haven't checked out Shirley's blog yet, please do so! You won't be disappointed! She puts so much thought and detail into her cards, that they are not really cards, but pieces of art! See for yourself ...

The large flowers are three layers deep, with punched out leaves, and silk & bead flowers accenting them.

Shirley even attached a cute little kitty charm to one of the flowers! It matches perfectly with the Tilda image, which was colored superbly.

Thank you so very much Shirley, for this gorgeous one-of-a-kind card. I will treasure it always. Shirley was also kind enough to pass on the "Uber Amazing Blog" award to me! Thank you again, Shirley, for thinking of me!

Of course I'm sending this award to all of you awesome blogging sisters who always take the time out to leave such nice comments on my blog. Without your encouraging words, I'm not sure I'd keep up this blog. Thanks for visiting and until next time, take care and be safe. Aloha ...
