A Rainy Day in Paris

I have always loved rain and this piece of artwork has always made me really feel the damp and the cold... the great ensembles are just a bonus...as is Paris! Someday I will see this point in Paris and post it... until then, enjoy this one!

a Wedding Card...

So my friend found the man of her dreams in her late 30's and her wedding was last weekend...to celebrate I had bought a great gift from the States...

and had it all together except for one tiny little detail... yep, you guessed it..the card. I had approx. 45 minutes to get dressed and do the hair and makeup thing, when I got the bright idea to MAKE the card... yep, that's me, the master of time.... oy.

So, I ducked into my craft room (messy second bedroom with no workable surfaces) and put together this little darlin'...I really like my new computer! I can do SO much with it! But, lets remember that I have wet hair and no real idea as to what I am planning to do... I riffled through some files aka. big broken down boxes... and found some really great things that would work for my lucky friend and her luckier spouse... so I popped together their pics and some great sayings; and with about 20 minutes to get myself together, I got the gift together and the card came out terrific! SO, I apologise for my terrible hair Stacey, but I hope you loved the gift! Congratulations!!! :)

Birthdays and Spinsters!

Happy Birthday! and on this auspicious day, my parents are mocking me with a picture of a group of lovely ladies from October 1907, who were a part of the guild of Spinsters... yes, folks, there were guilds of folks like this and they thought it was a great idea! I can't help but think that they weren't alll thinking that! Lovely dresses and hats tho.... truly gorgeous home they are standing in front of... makes you wonder if any of them ended up getting married after all! Then the pic would be a wee bit different, wouldn't it?

Anyhoo..happy birthday to anyone else out there who might be single and over 30... and just think, we barely made it out of a wonderful photo op like this one!
