I really can't think of a better theme than the "at the beach" one we have this round at As You See It#306! And for me, when I think "beach," I will forever be thinking of Maui, which is so much a home away from home for us. It's sadly bittersweet right now, because I also can't help but think of all the tragedy Maui is going through right now with the terrible fires, particularly in Lahaina, with its near-total destruction. Lahaina was always central to our Maui travels, and my heart is so broken for all the lovely people there. I pray for their peace and healing constantly as the situation continues to unfold... The simple scene I created for today's card says everything about this gorgeous and loving island - it truly is and always will be paradise!

Heather...all this scene is missing is me, a chair and a drink in my hand! It's refreshing and really a great tribute to Maui.

What a lovely tribute, Heather. Right now, with winter steadfastly refusing to let go, I could do with a tropical island just like this one about now! Calm, relaxing and warm. :-)

Heather your card definitely has more than a touch of island paradise about it - what a lovely tribute to Maui. I hope you get to return there someday.
