How many of you took the time to see the full moon this month? Priscilla and I saw it as we were walking back to the store from the local farmer's market. There was some cloud cover, but sometimes it can make for an interesting photo. I grabbed my camera and here is the result. They say that it will be a long time before we see a moon this large. The moon in Hawaii's night sky is really amazing. It's one of the things I appreciate in living in this beautiful state.
The past two weekends in the store have been very busy. On Sunday, May 6th, Fran invited 15 of her friends to the store for a day of fun and crafting. We set up extra tables and moved some fixtures so everybody had plenty of "elbow room". The result was a lot of fun and camaraderie between friends. The time went by so fast and we hope that they decide to do it again. On the following Saturday, May 12th, Jodi brought her group in for a similar activity. This has become an annual event for them on Mother's Day. As they were "packing up", I heard requests for this to become a semi-annual event.

Activities like those above are a part of the vision we had when we opened the store. If you want to take advantage of our facilities for your group's party, please give us a call.
The next time your in the store you find the shelves have been restocked with paper from Bazzill. The colors Priscilla brought in cover a wide range of the color spectrum and you will have the choice between 12" x 12" or 8 1/2" x 11". Gorgeous papers and the names sound delicious. Tangerine, Mud Pie, Chiffon, Tapioca, Espresso, Watermelon, Cherry Cheesecake, and Maraschino. My favorite is "Two Scoops Mint Chip". Your going to love it.
Priscilla's Craft Snacks & Tidbits on Saturday, (May 5th), re-introduced a new template in the store. It's a sliding envelope that reveals hidden secrets. Next time your in the store ask for a demo. For those of you that aren't aware of it, Priscilla does a Craft Snacks & Tidbits every Sunday (1:00 - 4:00pm). It's FREE and all you need to bring is a smile and perhaps you will make some new friends.

The last thing that I have for you is a sample of my "playing" with the Copic Pens. If you have the opportunity, come into the store for a free demo. I guarantee you will find this one of the easiest things you have ever done. Oh - any resemblance between my "pineapple" and the real thing is purely coincidental. You will no doubt do a better job than I did.
