My family and I just returned from a 10-day vacation to Maui. We wanted to take our family on a special trip to celebrate Jensyn’s graduation and make memories together before she heads off to college (and her life’s journey) next fall. We had such a great time!
Of course I took a gazillion photos! I’ll spare you the L-O-N-G post by putting them all here individually, but if you’re curious about some of the highlights of our trip you can see them in the slideshow below. I was so amazed by the colors and textures of Hawaii and came home feeling inspired and in the mood to create, create, create! So that is what I plan on doing in the coming week … scrapbooking my little heart out amidst the loads and loads of laundry I’ll be doing. Ha!
Today is the official first day of Summer and in the spirit of things, I have a beachy project up on the Echo Park Paper Blog today!
SUPPLIES: Echo Park Summer Party Collection: Flip Flops Paper, Kite Flying Paper, Vacation Time Paper, Swimming Fish Paper, Celebrate Summer Paper, Element Stickers, Chipboard Accents, Decorative Brads, Enamel Dots, Ephemera Pack, Carta Bella Paper Kraft Designer Cardstock
I’ll be back to share another project soon. Have a great week!
Your photos are fantastic! Can’t wait to see the terrific layouts you will be creating to showcase them! What a wonderful vacation that must have been! I can’t believe how much your children have grown this past year! I can certainly understand why you were anxious for the whole family to spend time together this summer. They will all be scattered soon enough, won’t they?!

I know! Isn’t it crazy how fast the time goes by … I really am thankful for memory keeping because it helps me realize that I need to cherish these moments with my little family instead of glazing out into cruise control. Thank you for your sweet comment, Carol!
