I kept thinking to myself how surreal it felt, meeting everyone I did during CHA. I tried really hard to stay in the moment and enjoy every second of it... DID I EVER! Oh! What fun!

As you can imagine, I have tons of pictures to share.
I thought I would just start with a few pictures of those I had the pleasure of meeting in person. Tomorrow, I will post more on the things I did at CHA.

Star Wars came to the Creative Imaginations Party on Saturday night.

Can you hear the Star Wars theme song?

Imagine looking up and seeing this walk in through the ballroom doors!



Isn't R2D2 cute? Even in black? My boys says that he is the "evil one". I don't remember an "evil" R2D2.

CHA Winter... here I come!

Well everyone, I'm finally done packing up and getting a few bites to eat with my boys before heading out the door to catch my plane.

I just wanted to apologize for not posting much these past couple of weeks.
It has been a bit insane in the Matsumoto home. Things should (in theory) start to settle down once February comes. Oh... but then Keiji turns 4 on the 10th and Valentine's is on the 14th. Then Ken turns 6 on March 13th. :)

I will have lots to share when I return!

Can I share a few pictures of the boys in the meantime?

We have rock band sessions after school at Club Matsumoto.
Here is Marcia on drums, Keiji on bass, and Ken on the mic.
They are rockin' it out to Roxanne, by the Police.

Introducing:
Kidz Rock!








See you when I get back!

Peek-A-Boo... I see you! MLO February 14th class

I have kept you waiting long enough for the cards for my February 14th class at Memories Live On. I'm going to call these cards my "Peek-A-Boo" cards, since you have to either pull the inside up to view the card or open the flaps to see the inside. Actually, I have special handmade treats for those attending the class that goes with this "Peek-A-Boo" theme. :)























Classes are already filling up! I can only take 12... so please call the store to reserve your seat! (408) 446-9901

If you have Copics, please bring them for your own personal use. Bring your favorite adhesive and scoring tool if you so desire. Otherwise, everything will be provided for and passed around. I will update this post with the colors that we will be using in class.

Thanks!
