Hawaii Cardstock Sticker Shocker

Aloha from Hawaii...that's me sitting on the beach and posing in my floppy brimmed hat.

Over on the right is Hi Honey...husband...standing knee deep in the calm surf of

Oahu with Diamond Head in the background.

The International Market Place was one of the places we visited when we were in Hawaii....

Forty-five years ago in 1970!

 

I wonder if things in Hawaii have changed as much as we have in the last forty-five years?   I suspect so!  I know for sure if we were there today, we would both have to get new swim suits.  Gone are the days of my being seen in public in a two piece bathing suit, and HiHoney...well, he might need a size or two larger.

I'd love to go again, and there's a chance that might happen since a nephew recently moved there.  But in the meantime, I'm having a great time Scrapbooking our Military RandR vacation from March 1970.

It's another section of our 'Two Year Hitch in the Army' Scrapbook, and RandR was about the ONLY perk for serving a year out of country.  The 'Perk' for waiting all these years to put together this Scrapbook is the fantastic Scrapbooking Materials available now...like the 'Cardstock Sticker' sheet with Hawaii stickers.  Back in the Day...1970...there were no cool stickers, no decorative papers, and no Acid Free adhesives.  Today all of those materials are Acid Free.  What a difference that will make years from now.  I will never have to Re-Do this 'Memory Book' due to yellowed paper, dried out scotch tape and falling apart albums.

The variety of Stickers, Papers and Albums is endless. 

There are stickers for every occasion, event and activity you can imagine. 

The colors, patterns and themes of paper packs cover everything from

Christmas to Camouflage.

I've been a Scrapbooker most of my life, and I'm here to tell you

NOW is the BEST TIME of All.

Did I mention People Places and Things Stickers?

Just look at how the 'Cardstock Stickers' for Washington DC dressed up

Our Capitol Visit at Cherry Blossom Time in April 1969.
