50th Birthday Luau Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog and the 50th Birthday Luau Blog Hop!  I'm so glad you can join us.  


Grab a refreshment, sit back and enjoy all three days of the 50th Birthday Luau Hop.  It runs from August 29-31 so please be sure to check back each day to see what new project each of our talented ladies has in store for you.


If you are just coming from Pendra at Pendra's Place, then you are right on track.  If you just came across my blog and would like to hop along, please start over with Barbara at Craftin' With Barbara.


Since Barbara's birthday is in August, she always wanted to have a luau.  So our theme for this hop is of course Luau Themed. 


Here is the lineup in case you get lost.

Paper, beads and craft string are from my stash

La idea esta estupenda, y saldrían a un bajo costo que comprarlos ya hechos. ADemás como son hechos de forma personalizada quedan más bonitos.
