E君のデルファイアカデミー時代のお友達のM君の誕生日会があり、サンノゼのお家にご招待されました。総勢１０人の子供たちが集まったので、とてもにぎやかでした。おいしいイタリアンディナーとケーキの後、E君とその他３人の男の子はお泊りもさせていただきました。M君のご両親にはとても良くしていただいて、本当に感謝に尽きる事がありません。
M君のお母さんは、絵画など、芸術にも精通なさっているので、Arthouseのスケッチブックのことで、いろいろとアドバイスもいただくことができました。
I and E kun were invited for my artist friend's house to attend her son's birthday party. There were 8 boys and one girl invited for dinner and games, then 4 boys including my son continued to stay and sleep overnight. They were so excited and had really great time.
While M kun was putting candles...E and others were so excited! #yay!
Happy Birthday M kun!!
Very fun kids' talking and eating! The Italian dish was so delicious.
Lucky for me, I could have a discussion of arthouse sketchbook and other art opportunities with my friend. She has been a good mentor, and always inspires me a lot.
She prepared her own paper which may be more suitable for water color and she is going to re-bind them. She bought them from University Art. One of my major concerns was that my sketchbook were already pruny and wrinkled with water color. She said it's OK because she rather liked the sketchbooks with the kind of looking when she went to the last year's arthouse-tour in SF.

Another thing I asked was if it was boring for viewers to see similar nautical kind of images in all the pages...she said the theme should be consistent for all pages to the end otherwise, viewers might be disappointed!
These suggestions are great and I can have a power to keep going! (^o^)/
