And Finally... Miyono!

I found out that Miyono is a very uncommon name. I tried searching Japanese names and couldn't find it. I think my Grandparents made it up when they named my mom. I like it because its unique, just like my mom. I don't know how she does it, but my mom can start up a conversation with anyone. I mean anyone! She can be in line at a store, on the bus or on the plane and she'll make friends. In fact, she asked me to bring back cookies from the Big Island to give to her friend who rides the bus... someone she met on her ride to work. She also made friends on the plane ride over to Hilo when she came by herself. By the end of the flight, she knew all about the person's family, where they were from, where they worked, etc.

I like this stamp because she is easy to color and easy to cut out! You will like working with her, just as everyone loves working with my mom! As my mom gets older, she has uncovered her inner child and now has an affection for cute things such as Hello Kitty (I think that's where I got it from!) and BLING! I don't remember my mom really wearing anything with bling on it until she got older. Now she loves it! So since Miyono is named after her, I thought I'd throw in a little bling on this card just for her.


Here's a close up of Miyono... I'm still practicing that hair!

    Hi Jenny,
    Miyono is way kawaii!! You have been doing a fantastic job with the hair coloring and also the coloring overall. This card is spectacular! Love the bling. Love the story you told about your mama. She sounds like someone I would definitely like to meet or sit next to on the plane.
    As for my mama, she's the strongest person I know. Besides being a terrific wife and mother she's also a great friend and I love how she can listen to me complain and then give me good advice. She's the rock of our family and can be the life of the party when she wants to be. She's one of my best friends and I love her to pieces. Thanks!

    I love my mom. She's incredibly thoughtful, loving, unselfish and patient and the best mom and g'ma. She does so much for me and my 2 boys. She would do anything for her kids and grandkids. I don't know what I'd do without her.

    I love Miyono! Your mom sounds very much like my mother too! She was the type who could just start to talk to anyone & have a new friend! Maybe in the next images we could see either mochi or a shoji door? Love all 4 of the latest releases...can't wait till September 1st!!

    Miyono is sweet. I like this pose. I'm still waiting for you to post a tutorial on how you color the hair. I like how you colored her kimono with the gradation. I really hope you come out with some saying stamps to go with the images. They are difficult to find. One thing about my mom is she has a big heart. She always puts others before her own needs.

    I just love Miyono, her hair is perfect and the bling makes her so elegant. Your Momsounds real friendly - mine is too but some times she talks to some people who can be a bit odd.

    So pretty! You did an awesome job of coloring Miyono, Jenny! I love that Miyono is named after your mom... such a sweet idea that you and Denise have named all the stamps after family!

    Oh, I love Miyono. All of your stamps are wonderful, but Miyono is extra special to me as my grandmother was named Miyono (and like you, I didn't know anyone else named Miyono). <3

    This card is very cute. I love how the colors on Miyono matches with the rest of the paper and bling on the card.

    My mom doesn't speak much English but everyone that she does meet, she gives them a smile ... which is universal and understandable to all people no matter what language we speak.

    Miyono is too cute! and love that shes named after your mom!!

    My mom works for a job that meets sometimes hundreds of people every flight. She loves her job and the wonderful opportunities, friendships and traveling she gets to do. She raised me to be just as outgoing as her :)
