Lovely garden full of possibilities. The steep part of the garden looks perfect for an in-ground slide! Kids would love it. Adults too, probably.

a tour of the backyard jungle.
When we first saw this place online we couldn't quite figure out the backyard. It looked like it extended pretty far back - at least two and half times the actual house size. It looked...overgrown...but other than that it was hard to tell what was what. Now that I am here and have explored a bit...
Thank you Jane!

Ten Years
Ten years ago today, Thierry and I woke up and marched ourselves over to the Miami Beach city hall and made things official. This day remains one of my most cherished memories. Happy anniversary, Mr.T! Je t'aime. More photos and memories of that day here, here and here.
Gracias Tia! Besos.

Mil gracias Helena! Que gusto saber de ti! Pues, si, nos mudamos a los estados unidos - un cambio muy grande para la familia. Estamos felices!
Di un paso por tu blog - me encanta que eres una escrapeadora 100 por ciento! Bises, Denise

Mini in Minutes with Kesi'art
< I know, I know, summer is over. But I can't dive into my December Daily project without first putting my thoughts down about our wonderful summer in France. Since time is a factor for me so I chose to go simple. I thought I'd share how I put together this simple mini book in a few easy steps....
Thank you , Annika!

The story. I'm sure he will have other favorite girls in the years to come, but this is honestly one of the sweetest things I've heard. The process. I printed the photo strip and knew I wanted to use the quote as my title. The rest came together with elements from a SC kit and the new relea...

Not really sure what got into me for this layout. I went overboard piling on a bunch of embellishments. This layout was all about playing and not at all about storytelling which is rare for me. I had this photo of me with two of my sisters from a September trip to Miami that I wanted to use. ...

20 Year High School Reunion
The Page. At the end of September I flew to Miami for my 20th high school reunion. I didn't realize, until I got there, how exciting it would be to see everyone. I am so glad I went! Remarkably, everyone was so busy chatting there were very few photos of the event. What you see on the layout...

I promised myself I was going to start posting more often. So here goes. It's Wednesday and I haven't touched my craft table since last Friday. I guess the grocery run killed my motivation. Ha! No, I'm motivated but busy with other stuff. Also, fall is here. The mornings are chilly and the aft...

Work in progress
I wasn't going to let running out of adhesive slow my momentum. I started this layout, about my high school reunion, with a glue stick and my stapler. I didn't like how the paper warps when the glue stick glue dries and that fact is killing my productivity. So I'm putting it down and going on ...
You're so sweet! Thanks Celine! Bises, D

Back in July I released a little geotag stamp and I hate to play favorites... but... it's still my favorite. It's a great embellishment and the perfect way to document your adventures. If I could send one to all of you, I would. So, while I work on getting the files up for sale in my shop, ...

Home is so many places. We're home now - most of us anyway. And I'm so happy. The boys are delighted to be back in France with their grandparents and their old friends. Thierry is delighted to be home. To see his old colleagues. And eat the things that only French people know how to make taste...

THE STORY If Thierry is in the room, no one else matters to Lucien. It's adorable. Don't get me wrong, Andrea and Maxi love to hold Thierry's attention too, but with Lucien it's been this way since he was very young. So when the soon-to-be-released father-themed Kesi'art stamps came in the mail ...

THE STORY Thierry and I flew to Chicago a few weekends ago to celebrate my sister-in-law's law school graduation. Say that three times fast. My little sister, Mariana, was one of several family members that joined in the fun. And how cute is my brother for snapping this photo of the two of us ...
