Wow…Christmas is just around the corner and December is coming to an end!!!  Time sure flew by this month and the New Years will be sneaking up on us soon.  Right now, I am in Japan offering 30th year Anniversary participants classes with my mother in the cities of Tokyo, Sapporo, and Sendai.

Everyone’s projects are coming closer to completion and are turning out AMAZING.  This will definitely be a memorable experience to cherish for years to come!!   I was hoping to take more pictures of every project and class, but it seems like the opportunities are limited… I will try again for the Sendai classes…


At the moment, my mother and I are currently in Sapporo where the snow is abundantly falling and will be heading to Sendai for a couple days before heading back to Hawaii.  Speaking of snow, I haven’t seen this much for such a long time… it’s so pretty.  It’s a real winter wonderland.

I would like to take a moment to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!  As we say in Hawaii….Mele Kalikimaka!!
