Thrilled

Hello from the States,

Our journey "home" to the states this year was quite smooth; no delays, no cancellations, no trauma. We are enjoying our time together with family.

I have the honor, once again, to have been chosen by the Daily Scrapper to be published in their wonderful newspaper. This time, the photobook that I made for my daughter's kindergarten days memories.

I want to say Thank you so very much to Alice Koh for choosing my album to feature in the Photo book display section. I am thrilled!

To all of my friends in Japan, I want to apologize. Because I'm in the states, I don't have access to a Japanese system and this post will have to be only in English.

I hope you are all enjoying the start of your summer holiday. Take care!

Before I go...

These past couple of months I've been lost in another world. I finally gave in to my curiosity and started reading the Twilight Saga. I won't go into detail, but I'll just say that I am a complete Twifan now. Scrapbooking fell on the back burner for awhile.

But I do have some pages to upload before I take off for summer vacation. Not summer related, rather an idea for the next challenge in September. These are actually for my own memories album since they are photos of my own Grandparents.

But how about getting some shots of the kids and grandparents this summer, and making a page to present to the grandparents in September.

My parents are getting up there in years and I know they would love to have a page of them and all their grandkids. So that will be my goal photo for this summer.

I hope you all have a wonderful, safe, fun summer holiday! See you in September.


最近"トワイライト"に夢中になってしまってスクラップが出来なかったけど、少数のページがやっと作れました。祖父祖母ページです。自分のメモリーアルバムのために作りました。一緒にいるの写真がなくてちょっと寂しかったです。

夏休み間に自分の親と孫全員の写真を撮る事を頑張ります。9月にInternational Grandparents Dayまでにページを作ってあげると思います。皆様もどうですか?ご両親とお子様の写真ありますか?きっと喜ぶでしょうか。

それでは、皆様は安全な楽しい夏休みを過ごしてどうぞ。また9月に会えるのを楽しみにしています。
