Here's Yoshimi...

How are you liking our new images so far? Our last introductory post is Yoshimi. Yoshimi is my cousin's middle name and I'm told she is named by my grandmother. I guess my grandmother met a young girl named Yoshimi once and since she was a good girl, she picked that name when my Aunty asked her to give her daughter a middle name. My cousin "Yoshimi" is the mother to "Miyako" and "Keitaro". I thought it would be fun to release the entire family all together.

Although Yoshimi is not a Valentine's day image, I decided to release her since she could also be used for Girl's Day, which is just around the corner (March 3rd). Debi did a nice job on this notepad cover. I like the added fringe she used to accent the piece. When you open up the notepad, there are notepads on both sides. I also love how she used contrasting colors. It makes Yoshimi really pop! Thanks Debi!



OK- you remember how it works right?? Leave a comment on THIS POST and follow the same rules as what's on the Miyako introductory post. This time tell me if you celebrate Girl's Day or not and if you do, what do you do? Can't wait to hear! Check back tomorrow to find out who our Guest Designer is for this release!

    When I was a kid, we used to have parties at school. After I moved to The States, that was over... :(

    This notepad looks fantastic! Love the paper choices! And the stamp is adorable!

    Very cute! Great gift idea. I grew up celebrating Girls' Day in Hawaii and want to impart that celebration for my daughter as well even though here on the east coast it is not celebrated. I love it.

    So pretty with the fans. I don't celebrate Girls Day; it isn't part of my culture.

    She is wonderful! Love Debi's project! The contrasting colors are really gorgeous. Fun to incorporate a family release. ;)
    Unfortunately my mom never told us about Girl's day so I only celebrate through you ladies. ;)

    Yoshimi and the notepad are very cute. We do not celebrate girls day. It would be fun if we did, although I only have 2 boys.

    Love it! Love it!

    I celebrate Girl's Day, much to the chagrin of my brother. I've always demanded he be nice to me that day, ever since we were little. Haha. I like to make chichi dango and give it to my friends for Girl's Day. Other than that we don't do much.

    Aw, Yoshimi is so cute, love how she's holding the fans.
    I don't necessarily celebrate Girls' Day, except to give a little gift to each of my grand daughters; I have 5 of them. LOL
