I always love reading about the process behind your new year’s card designs for your mum - you did well with this one if she doesn’t even like snakes normally! So interesting to hear about the trip to Japan, the food, books and clothes - it was a mini-holiday just to read about it!

I'm glad you found it interesting. Yes, it was a great time to enjoy the traditional side of Japan. It's cold and VERY dry but I recommend to visit Japan around New Year.

Sounds like you had a wonderful trip in Japan! I’m sure all the good food will give you energies to create so many wonderful art💪💕

You look beautiful in kimono! I only have worn kimono for 成人式 and 卒業式! I have to check out the International Library of Children’s Literature next time I go home! (Hopefully soon) Hope 2025 will be a great year for you! あけましておめでとうございます♪

あけましておめでとうございます🎍Thank you! I’d say if an opportunity to wear kimono comes to your way in the future, grab it. I highly recommend the ILCL in Ueno, Tokyo. Wishing you a year full of creativity and happiness!
