Natural Beauty of Kauai
The Beauty of Kauai
Around this time last year, my sister and brother in law were planning to visit Hawaii again and asked if I’d like to join them. And just like that the plans were set in motion.
Known as the Garden Island, Kauai is lush with vegetation and flowers, mountainous with waterfalls, beaches and the ocean….in short, stunning. This will be the first of several posts as I will share the best of many photos taken along the way.
These aren’t flowers but they are just as pretty!

Alcohol Ink Pendants
Ever since taking the alcohol ink jewelry making class last month, I’ve been busy creating pendants – and loving every minute. 🎨

Alcohol Ink Jewelry
I visited my life-long BFF in Traverse City this week and as always, she seeks out new experiences and fun things to do in anticipation of my arrival. On Friday we took an Alcohol Ink Jewelry Class which was perfect as I’ve been painting with Alcohol Ink for five years and she makes stunning jewelry.
The three hour class taught by Julie Tibus included all supplies, was skillfully taught, interactive and so much fun. Julie is not only an extraordinarily talented artist but we agreed, the best instructor we’ve had for an art class. We were thrilled with our final pieces and enjoyed seeing our classmates lovely designs as well.
Julie teaches a variety of art classes and so we’re planning to take more of them – it’s not a matter of if but when! Check out her social media: Julietibus.com and @tibusstudio
Here are my creations:

In the garden – Irises in Bloom
Experiencing nature up close…
As Spring approached this year, I purchased a new wreath for my front door. After a few days, I noticed a robin’s nest built into the wreath just below my peephole. So began several weeks of up close viewing including the thrill of watching the first fledgling leave the nest and the other three flying out simultaneously the next day. It was an incredible experience.
Growing so quickly

In my garden
After being on vacation for a week, I came back my garden bursting with blooms.
Then there’s my beloved Peony Tree that I moved from my home of many years to my new one nearly three years ago. It’s so beautiful I had to give it its own gallery of multiple photos.
