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!

Oh.. I've been so busy, I'm behind on my blog reading. I've missed looking at your pretties! BEAUTIFUL stuff as always!!!
ReplyDeleteMy friend wanted to be in Paris for her 50th birthday... she didn't quite make it. So we had a
ReplyDelete'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....
ReplyDeleteSounds like a dream. Love the picture too.
ReplyDeleteLove 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!!
ReplyDeleteHi 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 creative!
