Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - May 16, 2018
Hello everyone,
We ran the gamut of emotions while on the Big Island of Hawaii. We caught up with old friends, made a bunch of new ones, experienced the biggest earthquake ever (M6.9), was within 15 - 20 miles of the fissure eruptions (see this map to see where the area is compared to the rest of the island) and it rained just about every day we were there. We stayed at an apartment at Rocking Chair Ranch where horses are boarded and worked & had some of our best sleep ever. We lost a loved one while there and we heard a chicken lay an egg, within earshot, while making plans to plant a memorial koa tree. The entire brood tried to follow Bill into the car! Isn’t it funny how life goes on? Still this poem says it all: “Oh! you won’t know why and you can’t say how Such a change upon you came, But once you have slept on an island, You’ll never be quite the same.” Rachel Field

==================== How do they do that? Learn how to make a star book or lotus book!
You make the 1st impression, your business card should keep you remembered! Not just a rectangle with words anymore. If you want more, check this, that and then some more.
==================== Other snippets/travel tips 10 travel/airport apps you may use - https://www.smartertravel.com/2018/04/13/best-airport-apps/?source=91&u=A4F452DC01&nltv=&nl_cs=48242410%3A%3A%3A%3A%3A%3A - I love using Tripit. You email the information sent by the airlines, hotel, car rental to the app and it creates a trip itinerary for you that you can import it to your calendar with the correct time zones!
Now that summer is approaching how can you tell you are getting too much sun? The shadow knows!
Try to mail your souvenir snacks back from Hawaii or anywhere in the US (USPS Priority Mail boxes - if it fits it ships!) as they make you empty it all out of your bag at the TSA security check point (they forget that TSA PreCheck is exempt but I will not make a scene just for snacks!). My favorite souvenir snacks to bring from the Big Island of Hawaii.
==================== Upcoming classes on the calendar in the LA area, San Francisco (SF), along the west coast, some states just to the east (it could be a day-long adventure, make a weekend or whole vacation out of it!) and online in the next 30 - 90 days (I extended this to help you plan into the summer!)
