Totoro Forest Project!

Greetings Strangers!! I've been a terrible blogger. So sorry! Thank you all for your wonderful comments and encouraging messages to post more hehe =) So here I am again, this time with something amazing to share! A few months ago a friend invited me to participate in a once in a lifetime opportunity known as the "Totoro Forest Project!" It is a fundraising event to help preserve the forest that inspired Director Hayao Miyzaki when creating the movie Totoro. Over 200 hundred original pieces have generously donated by artists from all over the world their artwork. An auction will be held September 6 at Pixar Animation Studios where all the proceeds will be going to the Totoro National Forest Fund!! I am so honored to participate along side so many artists that I truly admire. Please check out the website to see all the beautiful work and to help support this wonderful cause!!

Wow!

Wow!! First I must say.. Thank you all so much for visiting my blog and leaving me such nice comments! April was a busy month for me and I come back and I am greeted with such amazing artists from all over the world. Thank you!! =)

It's been a whole month since my last post but I have lots of updates.. starting off with HAPPY Mother's Day!


I wanted to make my mom a mother's day card inspired by our new puppies at home!! Last Sunday my dog Happy gave birth to 8 adorable puppies. We've been busy making sure they're well fed and well rested on poop free towels. =)





My mom thought it would be nice for me to make cards for family friends for Mother's Day. So I decided to reuse my "breakfast" image making it into a card with a follow up image on the inside in an attempt to incorporate Mother's Day. =) hm..make breakfast for mom? hehe


Last month I was offered to go to Japan with my cousin. That was an offer I couldn't turn down! It was so much fun! We made it in time just to see the last bit of the cherry blossoms and the best part of the trip was I got to see TOTORO! =D I got a chance to visit the Ghibli Museum. A definite must see for anyone who visits Japan.

Breakfast

My cousin in Taiwan is my Asian music-go-to person. Just wanted to share something with her =)

The Talking Stick

Sunday night my friend and I went to a really cute coffee shop in Santa Monica called The Talking Stick to listen to a new upcoming artist Ed Rhee. I found out about him through my friend and found his music on myspace last year. To me he sounds like a mix of.. John Mayer, Jamie Cullum and Ben Folds? =) It was just him on his keyboard and his drummer friend. The music was great! I could definitely see how passionate he is about his music. I was really inspired. =)
