Bottlecap 2012 youth theme

This was made by a YW leader who made a bottle cap design (she sent me a photo - it's darling!) from one of my 2012 theme layouts:
I did make a few circular designs and posted them on my site at www.jackshandsjillsheart.com

Maui Photos

took some very cool pics of these flowers in Maui and am going to have one canvased to hang on my wall:
Hana
sea turtle
the Garden of Eden - LOVED IT!
Haleakala Crater where we watched the sunrise (Cheri had elevation sickness at 10,000 feet).  Views were breathtaking and so were the birds ;)  Noticed a lot of things grow red before they turn green here - love that!  And the protected Silversword plant:
 A baby mongoose
so many more photos . . . they would make a great slideshow!
