Ted & Clare Kittleson with the three grandkids:  Kristin, Danny, and Karen.  Ft. Shafter, HI, Dec. 1985.


Going to Hawaii between Christmas and New Year’s was the Christmas present we all gave to each other that year.  It was also the main retirement present for Grandpa K.  The book he is holding is one from all the relatives, with each page being a memory page that someone in the family created for him.


I used the word art & a paper from the challenge kit, a mask from “Summer Breeze” by Miss Fish, 1 paper & 2 elements from “Surf is Up” by the GingerBread Ladies, 1 cluster from “Be Jolly” by Blue Heart Scraps, the map from “Wanderlust” by Shepherd Studio, word art from “Alohaland” by Clever Monkey Graphics, 1 cluster from “A Year In Review” by JoCee Designs, a journal card from “Oh, Deer” by Scraps N Pieces, and a flower from “Tropical Sunshine” by JoCee Designs.
