***************
This is a pretty cool contest and I like the way it's designed. I had to get creative on this one, and that's pretty hard for me as I'm not much of the creative type.
Anyway I was thinking, since my husband loves doing Kendo, I might as well try to win this contest and get him some kendo gear. He needs a bokken for practice, but the ones we found near home weren't of any good quality. We've been searching for an oak one but haven't been successful. Therefore, if I win, I would love, love, LOVE to surprise him with a
white oak bokken. (Click on the link to see an example).
Here's a picture I drew of him doing kendo. I was inspired when I followed him to his grading. So that's what he'll be doing if I win this! :)
Oh, and if there's any leftover money, if I could get a
nice kimono to surprise him in, that'd be great (but I don't have a visual of that). But if that's out of the budget, I would like a
nice Japanese charm for my charm bracelet. If that's too hard to find, then I guess I'd like some
nice Pocky, or Japanese snacks or candy - anything of a
peachy flavor or something you
can't get out of Japan.
If that's all too hard to send, you can just
send the change. I like
foreign money -- could use it sometime when (if) I get to visit Japan! :)
