July's First Show!

A lot of you are spending your 4th of July weekend outdoors , so here's a heads up on what's happening on the first show for July.

 We start the show off with a great new product, the We R Alpha Punch Board! 

Sara from Market City shows how to easily punch out a letter and use it for a card.

Aunty Kehau has the assistance of model Dean Anthony Ramos

Then, we welcome Aunty Kehau to the show to share with us what will be happening at this year's Relay for Life at Magic Island. The event is on Saturday, July 16 from 6pm to 12:01 am. This year's theme is Super Heroes and Aunty Kehau shows us how to make a simple and fun cape!

 

Lastly, I share one of my recent Make it Monday projects, the Gift Bag Card Attacher. It's a great way to show off your awesome handcrafted cards and a fun use of your scraps, too! We even have a project sheet.

 

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend! Happy Crafting!

WIBD - What I Been Doing

Okay, everyone likes to tag each other on Instagram with #WIDN - What I Doing Now. Well, right now, I'm letting you know about some Free Fun for the whole family! It's been a fun first two weeks of June being a part of the Hawaii State Libray System's Summer Reading Program! This year's theme is Heroes, Everyday Heroes and Super Heroes!

Our HouseMart Ben Franklin Crafts and Ace Hardware stores are visiting libraries across the state, on all islands, including Molokai and Lanai this year! We're bringing our HouseMart Superhero Academy where keiki of all ages can learn some Hardware Science and do a little crafting, too! Check here to see our  library schedule.

So, what's it like? Take a look!

 

Lots of keiki and parents excited to try their hand at Hardware Science experiments

 

Test your reflexes! Are you as fast as The Flash!?

 

Learn about Inertia with this cup challenge!

 

 

Put on a cape and fly like Superman for a fun photo!

 

Make a Super Bear Bookmark you can use for your Summer Reading Program!

So, get out of the Bat Cave and join us for some Super Fun at the Libraries!

Hope to see you there!

 

 

 

 

Our second show for May!

Lots of new and talented friends on our second May show! We start the show with a two-time winner of our We Love Crafts weekly contest!

Micah Torigoe is a young and talented card maker! A lot of you will envy his Copic coloring style,too.

On the show, he'll use Sister Stamps' Pua to make a sweet Congratulations card.

Next, we have the crew from the Hawaii State Library System tell us what is in store for this year's Summer reading program. The theme is everyday Heroes and Super Heroes!

 

This Super Heroe craft kit is one of the incentive prizes keiki can get for reading a book every week! HouseMart Ben Franklin Crafts and Ace Hardware stores across the state will be visiting the different libraries, sharing Hardware Science and crafts!

 

Another event we participate in during the summer is Relay for Life. On Oahu, we'll be at the Magic Island relay which will be on Saturday, July 18. This year, it's only six hours long from 6pm to Midnight. Hope to see you there!

 

We will be helping people with the Luminaria, which is what Erwin Saenz from the American Cancer Society made on the show.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you're able to catch this show! Have a great week!
