Valentine

I don't care what people say.
I adore Valentine's Day.

And am definitely in love with my stamps!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Flowers

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I love getting flowers

Especially from you

Fruits

Yum yum yum!

Illumination

Things are starting to get festive around here.

Fall

Back just in time to enjoy the colors.

Lunch

We girls are not afraid to eat.

Pachanga

Follow the light...

And there you'll see...

A cafe called Pachanga...

The place to be...

Laughter in the air...

Many moments shared...

With a cup of cafe latte and Japanese tea...

Matsuri

Kawagoe Festival

You really can't end your summer without going to a festival.

You can't go to a festival and not have fun.

Trust me people.

You've got to get yourself to a festival.

We're all kids when it comes to festivals!

Tennis

A couple of favorite photos from the tennis tournament.

Sometimes we have to dry off the wet outdoor courts...

Sometimes we just have to goof around...

Sometimes our lunch is really good...

Sometimes the center court is packed with spectators...

Sometimes you have to take a break when you can...

But we have a really great team...ALWAYS!

Kushi Yaki

I'm going to miss eating out with the girls after hula practice.

Onsen

This place is like paradise.

So relaxing.



Gift

I know.

It's probably too soon.

What was I thinking?

But I did it!

hehehe.

I made earrings for a friend.

(Despite the fact that I've only been doing this for a week)

But being the darling amazing friend that she is,

she put on the earrings right then and there!

And today she was wearing the other pair of earrings I made!

It's really a great feeling.

To see someone enjoy something you made.

Especially since I had fun making it, too!

Luv you, Demi!

First Try

So my friend introduced me to beads.

And wires.

And a couple of pliers.

Now I'm completely wrapped up in the world of jewelry making!

These earrings were my first try.

And I think they turned out pretty well.

I had tons of fun trying to figuring out what beads to use

or working out the details of the wires.

Seriously fun stuff.

Can't wait to start on the next one!
