Reiko’s Pen Case


When our first Japanese exchange student, Reiko, came to visit Brandon and me in Okinawa in April, she enjoyed looking at my craft room. Before she returned to Tokyo, she picked out fabric for me to make her a pen case.

This past weekend was HansenFest. Two big typhoon’s ago, back in May, we were getting all geared up to see Alien Ant Farm at SchwabFest (where we saw the awesome Lit concert last year.) Unfortunately, Typhoon Songda caused that event to be cancelled. We were so disappointed; after all, this was our big chance to see Alien Ant Farm (best known for their rocking remake of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal”!)
I love recycling bubble wrap mailing envelopes! Often times, the mailers we receive aren’t the size I need and of course, they have writing on the outside. So, I’ve taken to cutting the mailers to the exact size I want and decorating them with fun deco tape from the 100-Yen!
