Jealous of Jen!

LOL! Seriously I am jealous of Jen of Jenny's Creations! She recently visited Japan and even though I was just there this past Dec, I still wished I was there last week too! LOL! Anyhow, looking at Jen's pictures reminding me of the missing piece in my heart (how dramatic am I? LOL) so I decided to share a few of my Japan pictures here on my Stampin' blog. I promise this won't be something I'll post often but just wanted to share a part of me that I don't often do on this blog. Enjoy, hope that all that visits my blog who have never been to Japan thing about visiting. Japan is truly a beautiful place!

Cherry Blossoms at one of the Temple grounds.



The Great Buddah at Kamakura (not far from where I grew up)

I'll post more pics when I have time...but for now since I haven't updated the blog I'll go ahead and post what I have... Thanks for stopping by!

Aww, girl, you sound so sad! Hopefully looking at your Japan pictures makes you feel happy and not more homesick. Were you born and raised in Japan? I've never been there, only because I don't care to fly ... take care, ok? Happy Aloha Friday! Hugs, Linda

Hey Claudette! Don't apologize for sharing your beautiful pictures ... it's all part of us that we cherish and thanks for sharing it with us. Wow, I was born in Japan but came to Hawaii when I was 3 and I haven't been back to Japan yet. I hope to go to visit soon and see all the beauty in Japan. Have a great weekend!

Aww,Claudette. I'm sorry to make you feel homesick. You have some beautiful images from Japan. It was really a great experience for me and hope to go there again. Everything there is so beautiful and the people are so nice too. Hopefully you get to go there in July which will be in 2 months. Enjoy your weekend.

Wow, such beautiful photos, Claudette. You really captured the beauty of Japan with your photos.

Honestly, I love blogs that share a little something about themselves and their lives. I think our blog is a reflection of who we are as people. . .to me, it's not about just the cards we make.

Please share more photos. . .I would love to know "you" through your photos and your postings!!

Sorry, that thinking of Japan makes you nostalgic. I get that way a lot. . . .pictures, songs, places brings back such good memories that they make me sad because I wish I could relive the experiences again in the same way and knowing I can't.
