Love the way you connected your visit with the current heartbreak of Hawaii. The map in the background is a fabulous paper choice!
'the way it was' is such a fitting title - love the curve to the globe kind of framing the grid and that poster in the middle , it looks like she's looking at you guys in the bottom right photo next to her! great job!
I love your take on this month’s journaling challenge. Perfect paper choices to go with those thick white photo frames. I feel the same about Lahaina; my heart goes out to everyone there.
Fabulous page.. love the map and your photos depicting your trip. So sad that you only have your memories now after what happened. I am so sorry that your host's home was destroyed in the dreadful fires there in Hawaii... so sad what happened there.
