Review: The Hello Sandwich Book is pretty to look at & awesome to get your crafts on!

Introducing my very own “HELLO SANDWICH かわいく暮らす、ものづくりのアイデア帖” book! I haven’t had a chance to try making any of the art & craft tutorial in this book yet, so this is more of a quick look review.

I am definitely not a traveller. I don’t like walking. I hate the plane. I have an impressive track record of being sick during travel. And I get home sick quicker than you can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (this one is an exaggeration but you get what I mean). In saying that, I have travelled to many countries. And recently, I visited my sister in London and travelled around the EU also. In fact, I’ve just returned …
