  1. Asian culture is so peaceful. It’s not wonder my Aunt decorated her home with an Asian theme.

  2. I am so in love with Japanese making tape!

  3. I love the idea of getting kids used to chopsticks and sushi! The masking tape is a neat idea too.

  4. I always wonder if I had a former life in Asia, there is something so calming. I did spend quite a bit of time there and enjoyed myself.
