Day 2, Arriving in Montauban

It all started so innocently. "It's not that far, the map says 1 mile, 4 minutes." A short little jaunt up, left, across the bridge, another left, then there. We grab our luggage and make our way across the train... Continue reading

My flight left Ohio in the late afternoon. Flying felt wonderful. I was free and headed for Paris. The fear of flying seems to be dissipating with each trip. I'm glad of that. However, a couple of glasses of wine... Continue reading

Lucky Little Sachets

The Saturday prior to leaving for France, I spent the entire day making little lavender sachets. I wanted to take a little something to share with the other participants of the workshop. A little something for them to remember me.... Continue reading

Twenty one days. Disconnect. Rest. Inhale. Let go. Play. Reset. It has been a hard year. I've let things get out of balance. I'm looking forward to the long flight, the change of scenery and change of pace. I need... Continue reading

Made a little something for an event at work next week. I took a 10" x 10" piece of scrapbook paper, shaped it into a cone and filled it with chocolate and candies. Once full, I folded down the top,... Continue reading

Actually, this was #2 in the France series. I've decided it doesn't make the cut because it doesn't leave much room for spontaneity while in transit, as every page is full and embellished before I've collected the first bit while... Continue reading

Pinterest is rocking my creative world. I can't get enough. I read and pin until my hand is paralyzed. Inspiration pours from the site. It's better than 10 magazine subscriptions. As a creative, I have a constant thirst for inspiration.... Continue reading

Where Have I Been?

Colorado - Part 3

And the Colorado visit continues.... We arrived at the ranch in the morning and a good thing because the day heated up pretty fast. And, as you can see, there wasn't a lot of shade. The ranch transported us back... Continue reading
