The photos were taken at Meji Shrine, Japan in October this year. I remember my husband worked early that morning and was done around 3.30pm, the driver took us to Meji Shrine after that, he was very tired, when I asked him to stand in front of those wine barrel for me to take a picture, he just "obeyed" and even squeezed out a smile for my camera, I noticed he looked very tired only when I looked at the photos after, that was sweet of him to do that, LOL!
the journal said "I love when I hold up my camera and said "stay there", you would squeeze out a smile for me no matter how tired you are"
I just love you....

Goodness, you are on fire, girl! Another jaw-dropping project from you! I love those photos, even with your tired hubby, and LOVE the elegant papers and color combo you used. The layered scallops, lace and flowers are stunning. Really love how you used the border punch here and there around the edge, too!
