My very good friend and co-worker Judy has just returned from a wonderful trip to France. Her son married a French woman and the wedding took place in Bordeaux - in a chateau! Can you imagine? Well I can because I saw the pictures! For those of us that have only dreamed of what France looks like, let me tell you that it is tops on my list of places to visit! They started in Paris, which looks just as I imagined with the magnificent architecture and sweeping views. They then traveled down to Bordeaux stopping in a few additional wine regions. Oh I wish I had the photos to share with you! I knew her return to work would be difficult so I made her the above sign and hung it from her computer - because a little crepe paper and glitter certainly makes up for being in France wouldn't you say? NOT!

So cute! What a kind gift for your friend. Yes I agree... definatly a trip to Paris is on my to do list. We can dream right?? I always envy the English blogs that I read when they say... we are driving to France... can you imagine?
OH my how adorable and thoughtful of you. I hope to make it back to europe one day but for now Asia will have to do...lol!
That was such a nice thing to do-bet it made coming back to work much easier for her!

How sweet and thoughtful of you to make your friend a little goody. I love the color of crepe paper you used.
Well, I'm sure the thoughtfulness eased her transistion back to the real world!
Yes, glitter does heal all woes! What a lovely sign you made for your friend. You are a very thoughtful friend.
Yes, I'm afraid a trip to Paris will not be happening for me anytime soon.
But a little crepe paper and glitter always makes me smile. :)
Your sign is lovely!

Oh.. I've been so busy, I'm behind on my blog reading. I've missed looking at your pretties! BEAUTIFUL stuff as always!!!
My friend wanted to be in Paris for her 50th birthday... she didn't quite make it. So we had a
'Oui~Oui Loretta is Fifty!' Event.
It was so fun.
I'll post the pictures soon.
How sweet you did that for your friend! LOL I'd rather be in Paris too, lucky enough to have been there once and it is so beautiful. I would love to see the French countryside.... oh dream....
Sounds like a dream. Love the picture too.
Love your site!! What a fun thing for you to do for your friend!! Giving an unexpected hand-made gift is truly one of life's greatest joys.....sounds cliche', but true....... and being an adorable gift too!!
Hi Karla - you are such a thoughtful coworker. I bet she really appreciated it when she returned to the drudgery of work. It's a very cute sign! Also, I tagged you for the name game. I hope you haven't been tagged yet. Come by and take a look.

That was so thoughtful of you. You can dream about Paris, and she can reminisce about Paris! Sweet deal, well, mainly for her...
You are so sweet and thoughtful!
Oh how I want to see Paris...the French countryside...: ) And your special gift makes your friend's return home so much sweeter!
You are SO creative!
Hugs,
Sue
