A Child Is Born! And A Much Needed Vacation From a Vacation

Finally our newest family member has arrived. Kira entered the world on 9/11 at a hefty weight of 9 pounds.  I'm not biased (hah) but I must say, she is a beautiful baby!  Not sure when I can post a pic of this beautiful bundle of joy, but as soon as I get permission, I will do just that.
I'm finally home from my trip and am trying to play catch up in blogland.  Why I didn't access any blogs while away (hello, I did take my ipad2), is a mystery.
I got home Friday in the middle of the day, dashed over to my daughter's to see Kira, hubby helped make dinner for the family, we ran several errands before heading home and by the time we finally did get home it was well into the dinner hour.
Saturday morning I went to the BFC 60th Anniversary party in Mapunapuna, dashed off to the Trade show to p/u supplies for DD and myself, then finally back to DD's house to share the spoils.
This is the make and take project I did at BFC that Cheryl taught and we received this party favor as we walked into the store.

CD holder/card and party favor

 We used the BigShot Pro die to cut a CD holder, then deocorated the top closure.  This is such a cool project in that it could be used as a greeting card, adding a CD that has photos of a previous Christmas or other occasion and it becomes a greeting card and gift.  How cool is that?!
Well I have a bunch of party things to put together for GD #2, it's this coming weekend.  Thank goodness my daughter likes to keep the parties small. I'll keep you posted.
Aloha for now,
