letterpress of pray

As I mentioned in Twitter (to all two of you who read it),

we have contributed some prints for a charity show in Fukuoka, Japan.

.. and the local news paper featured the event! Big YAY.

Thank you Bluemoon Letterpress and Heartfish Press for

organizing this. Hope the show is a big success!!

thank you!!

we've concluded our Etsy store relief efforts sale, and have donated all of

the proceeds to Red Cross. We sincerely thank all of you who have supported

our efforts, and we will continue to donate part of our proceeds.

Morgan is helping in her dream.

we are donating all of our proceeds from our etsy shop
to Japan Earthquake fund for the rest of March. Everyone who purchases
during this time will get a FREE CARD!!!! Just mention which card you'd like
when you make the purchase in the 'message to seller' section.
If there's no message then it'll be our pick!

spent a good part of the day getting a hold of my family and relatives

in Japan (all safe), and watching and listening to the news.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Japan and

everyone who have family & friends there.

Thank you to all those who emailed, called, texted, etc...

At times like this, it really helps to have our friends reach out to us..

..and to have a dog next to you to keep from freaking out.

japan trip '10

I've been meaning to post the photos from our Japan trip over the
Thanksgiving.. it's been a crazy busy month! Unfortunately, many of photos were
lost due to computer issues, but here are some that survived.

we had to go and check out the only place that sells our cards in
Japan.. no not Bulgari..

No interior shots, but we spent quite a long time there
looking at all the cool stuff.

we flew to Oita-ken, where my dad is from. The place is
famous for its Shochu. mmm... we grabbed a couple of bottles.

the town of Yufuin.

one of the reasons of our visit - to pay respect to our ancestors.

Usa Jingu - one of the oldest shrines in Japan.

gotta have the sweet hot sake outside the shrine.

at the inn. happy ken.

aaand of course the food was amazing where ever we went.

it was a crazy trip, we took four plane rides within Japan to go to
Sapporo, Oita, then back to Tokyo, but we had an amazing time.
Thank you otosan and okasan!!!!
