Birthday party for a teenage boy!

I bet most women have organized some sort of social event – like a birthday party. Any social gathering can be stressful, but a birthday party for a teenage boy? This is something I scratch my head for a while. I “google-d” it for the idea, tips, and paid special attention to “not-to-do” list, of course. After all the anxiety and anticipation, it all went very well. Thanks for the wonderful parents who raised very well-mannered gentlemen! This is a hard age – 13! Somewhat they are still in between a boy and a man. But I think (and I want to believe) that they are still boys. Take a look at the most memorable moment picture from this event above....(BTW Friday movie night out is a great idea for all ages). Thinking of how fast my son got big (taller than me already). Looking at my daughter, it will be soon she will become “the teens age”. I thought of many different ways to send messages and keep the good time memories – I could not find a quick and an easy way to do so.

Then my friend, Mariko san, in Japan mentioned about this idea – I want to have a bookmark made by you. I bring my book everywhere I go. So I can remember you and your work every time I open a book.
...then everything just clicked.

Thanks to her – now I can make, give, and keep many moments to my daughter, friends, and family. Oh yes, this is a very good promotion piece as well. As usual, I spent many nights making these. These are very fun!
