Lei Making 101


 I sit here, 12:32AM, wide awake after only 5 hours of airplane sleeping between the last 48 hours. UGH. This time zone difference thing is killing me. My Garnier eye roller will be out in full force tomorrow for my 8:30 meeting at headquarters. OOOOEEEE.

So, as I was laying in bed willing myself to sleep, I started to reminisce about my wonderful time in Maui. I can't put into words the stunning views. Wow. They were nothing short of spectacular. Below is a pic since words expressive enough are not forming in my tired brain. Definitely, not to shabby. ;)


Of course, I had to sneak in some creative time on the trip. Lucky for me, the hotel offered free lei making classes. I had so much fun visiting with the other ladies while making my lei. Did you know that these are simply strung flowers? One long needle and a long piece of thin rope and voila: one beautiful lei coming right up!

My lei in the making....


A little goofy of a pic, but here's my Lei! :)
 Here are also the straps of my bathing suit that the MEAN ocean stole from me.
Minus 100 points for Jen... plus 500 for the men around.
And because I couldn't pass up adding this precious giggling face in her Aunt Jenny mermaid outfit.  This pic marks one of my favorite moments of the trip. She was just giggling for a good 30 mins and just lighting my heart on fire.  
Happy flower sewing! Aloha!
Jen
