My daughter and I arrived last night to the beautiful island of O’ahu. I am getting her ready for BYU-Hawaii and her stay here. Today we are going to visit the school, go to the beach, and spend the rest of the day at the Polynesian Culture Center. I am leaving her here on Monday as I head off to my week-long trip in Brisbane, Australia for Stampin’ Up! training. She is already loving it and in our short time here have already met 3 new friends for her! Everyone here is so friendly and welcoming and most of the people we have met are students including our waitress from last night & our hotel staff. I also met someone who was another BFF of my dear friend, Laura, who passed away in August. So crazy!
New classes coming soon!!!
I have decided to post my Santa’s Sleigh Online Class Preorder next and then will post Christmas Magic after. Check back often!

MY PINK STAMPER PHONE APP UPDATE!
I am so sad to announce that the developers of my app (and many others) have decided to close all apps they helped to create. As unprofessional as this news is to me, I have to press forward and try to be positive. I will not have a phone app for quite a bit, so please remember to check here DAILY or sign up for my newsletter. Thanks so much for understanding! It was super fun having it while it lasted!
Have fun in Hawaii, my family and i are going on a cruise Thanks to my mother for Thanksgiving. I think she figured out how to get away without cooking lol. Id love to win

Oh Robyn your daughter looks just like you. I always tell college bound students to live in the now, study hard, pray and call home. Enjoy your college years.Norma
Aloha You guys!! I know you are going to love the Polynesia Cultural Center!! That was one of our most favorite places we visited while we were in Hawaii!! And the people there were the nicest ever!! It was so great to know that the employees were students of University of Hawaii!! But besides that, it was SUPER AMAZING AND GORGEOUS!!! We went during Thanksgiving through the first of December..for 14 days…AMAZING time!! It took us 21 hours to get there..due to flight time and layovers, but only 11 hours to get back home..we are from NC!! Hopefully your time was not that long!! Enjoy your time with your daughter & in Australia!!! Buffy Scott
