Happy Birthday HOPE Probation and more garden photos

Happy weekend everyone! I'm so glad that it's Saturday! I've gotten so used to 4 day work weeks because of our furloughs, it's tough being at work on a Friday! Today, I'd like to share with you something that I made for one of my bosses' husband, who is a Judge here at First Circuit Court. Judge Alm started a program called HOPE Probation. HOPE is Hawaii's Opportunity Probation with Enforcement. You can read about it HERE. HOPE celebrated their 6th birthday yesterday (October 1st) and I was asked by Judge Alm if I could make some sort of label to go on boxes of pastries (actually Cocoa Puffs from Liliha Bakery - yumm!). My brain instantly went into create mode and I had a good idea what I wanted my label to look like and this is the finished label. Close up of the candles. Do you remember this die? It's a Quickutz candle! Thanks to my niece, Jodi, for helping me cut out 36 candles and flames!

I cut out the sentiment using a nesties die - labels eight. All cardstock by SU and die is the Quickutz candle.

I made a cute little tea light cake for the Judge to keep on his desk too. I didn't make this cake for quite some time I thought I would forget how to make one! Once I started, it all came back. What do you think? I'm pleased with the way these projects turned out considering I only had one night to do it all.

Since I've been spending alot of time in the yard, I thought I would take some photos of some of the beauty. Here's a waterlily...

While weeding, I discovered a squash!

some ferns...

and comfrey (sp??) tea...

I hope you all have a relaxing Saturday. Getting ready to put the tag kits together tonight!

Thanks so much for coming by for a visit today. Mahalo for all of the nice comments you all leave for me. It really brightens up my day to read them all - I do appreciate every one of them! I'll be sharing my tags from the Tag Swap tomorrow!
