Aloha!

ALOHA means both HELLO and GOODBYE. After not blogging for over two years, this is Aloha from me to you.

My word of the year for 2017 is: PREPARE EVERY NEEDFUL THING. OK, I know that's not a word- it's four. However, that's kind of my thing right now. Back to basics. I've been on a decluttering kick to include my house and my activities. Streamlining my life. Focus on my family. Simplifying.

I know I've neglected my blog, and my website. At one time I found great comfort in message boards and blogging. I needed that support and I'm so thankful for those who were there for me. 

However, as I age and time marches on, I am trying to be more present in my real world life. I've decided that I am going to streamline online, as well. I will be modifying and simplifying. After May 1, 2017, I will no longer sell scrapbooking items, I will no longer send newsletters. I WILL continue to sell the rubber band bracelets. 

If you'd like to place a final order, please do so before May 1. 

And so, I say, ALOHA. 

wishing you peace-

Emily
