  Going to see a large flower display or a park with lots of different flowers always works magic for me. It combines three of my loves; walking, taking photos and the flowers themselves! I also like a hot spring every now and then. Getting a nice coffee, preferably in a new-to-me cafe, with friends is also another way I can shake off any stressors and recharge.

  @BigfamJapan Getting out into nature is always a great de-stress tactic! One of my favorites, too! :)

  Crafting is one. My latest project is scrapbooking. I'll share it with the English club at the high school where I teach. An idea is to combine original text with recycled scraps and photos.

  @TonetoEdo I love scrapbooking! I also appreciate that there are lots of inexpensive supplies here (at least in comparison to my home country) for crafting, such as 100 yen store items.

  @genkidesu Have a peek at my latest blog about Ichikawa City with two digital scrapbook images. I'm also playing with paper scrapbooking. It's a great way to preserve maps, pamphlets, and tickets from adventures around Japan.

  @TonetoEdo Those are so pretty! I never knew you could do digital scrapbooking in Canva, I've done paper-based scrapbooking for some time now, but I really like the digital ones you created.

  @genkidesu I'm also doing paper scraps, any bits I can recycle into interesting designs. It's a way to create art from images that represent our experiences. It's a lot of fun and seems to appeal to my students in an extra-curricular English club.
