First of all, I want to express my appreciation to Ashley M at the Hero Arts Flickr Group and the promotor of this blog hop.
How did I start to use the Hero Arts products??? I don't know the details... I've been using rubber stamps made in US since my childhood, 'cos my mother loved them. The reason I chose the Hero Arts products since I began to buy them by myself (around 2002 - 2003) is ...in the early time, maybe the reason I bought them was by the brand name of the Hero Arts that I've already known it. And now, I recognize their products are high quality. And I love their designs. I'm so thankful to their products' qualities and their quantities of the samples, tequniques and tips to share with us. Those're absolutely valueable! And also they provide us the place to communicate with other members. It's so fun and I sure think there're a lot of things to learn from all of the members.
The Hero Arts is the greatest company I've ever known. Well, I made this card. :)

And thanks so much for your concern about our weather disaster.
We already receieved an evacuation order about 18 hrs ago, 'cos a quite wide river in a neighboring town has been flooding. But the area we live is on the hill in a urban district. So we've been staying individual homes, and going out for volunteering for the actual sufferers.
Thank you.
Hi Tomo! Please take a look at my blog, there is something waiting for you!
