Digital Layout

Happy Sunday Everyone!

 Today is a quick crafty post, today I worked off and on all day not his digital layout. The only thing I need to add is my journaling.  This layer is about one of my FAVORITE Restaurants in Japan. It is called Garlic Jo's and if you can not tell by the name every dish has garlic in it. This is a trip I took with a friend who had never been there but always wanted to try it. We had Escargot, Garlic Pizza, Garlic Octopus, Garlic Chips on steak, Garlic fried rice not pictured Garlic bread all for 5500 yen... It was delicious..
