ok, going to sleep!!!!
a beautiful giveaway!
I think that I managed to squeeze 3 full days worth of junk into ONE day today… it has been NON-stop! My flight got in SO late last night, and at this point, I just have NO time for jet lag. I only have today to get re-set to leave: unpack, laundry, groceries, repacking, kits, samples, make-n-take prep and the all important just holding the littles while they watch Dora. I will say that coming home was quite an ego boost! Everyone was so happy to see me. all the souvenirs were a hit—everyone loves a small scale Eiffel tower. (especially ones in snow globes and with little blinking lights).
Lookie what I received in the mail while I was gone… I knew that Lisa Leonard was sending me a little surprise…and I knew that she had asked for my kids’ names…but apart from that, I had no idea what she had in mind. When I opened the box, inside there was not 1 but 2 small jewelry boxes…
I was totally overwhelmed with this necklace!!! I LOVE it so much! I have always wanted a necklace or jewelry piece with my kids’ names… but I just thought I had too many kids- and I didn’t want to have one with 5 pieces (who do you put in front?). I just LOVE how it turned out! so …
Attention: HUSBANDS…….this is a GREAT v a l e n t i n e surprise!
Also included in my little box was one of Lisa’s ‘illuminate’ pieces. it’s the chandelier necklace with the word: ‘sparkle’. As you can well imagine…it’s just so perfect as well! I love it. **you can also access her site from the button on the right-under 'sponsors'.
Lisa would like to give away one of these spectacular
‘illuminate’ necklaces to one of my blog readers… and guess what, you can
choose what word you want on it. It’s so cute-I love the little crystal
dangly. So…what word would you
choose?? Leave a comment, the comments
will be closed Sunday evening…and a winner chosen randomly! Check out her site and her BLOG (very inspiring)
and see if there is anything totally PERFECT for you—then send your hubby or
mom or dad or kids or grandkids a LINK!! I LOVE knowing something that someone
I love really would like! You can’t go wrong here!
I’ll be back blogging Sunday night after the first day of CHA! I am planning an AWESOME –cHa wrap up LIVE web show for Wednesday night!! So be sure to plan on joining in!
really COOL idea from Elle's
so... i am just sitting here, in the lounge, waiting for our flight to leave Paris...and we got here SUPER early to make sure that we didn't miss our flight... and i have been surfing blogs etc--something i just don't have much time to do! was just noticing THIS on Elle's Studio... Elle's is a NEW sponsor here on my blog, and i was cruising around checking out their cute stuff... and found this HUGE BOX of stuff they are auctioning off for Haiti Relief. i just bid... thought maybe you would too!! it's looking like a YUMMY box of fun.
ok, just starting my loooong journey HOME!! YAY!
Crazy,crazy day.
Well, I thought that last night was our last night in Paris, but it seems as though we have been granted another day. we had some itinerary confusion. – as we were leaving for the airport, we are pulling out the boarding passes etc… and realize that the flight was NOT at 4:45pm.. but rather 11:45am. (this fantastic discovery happened at noon). NOT GOOD. we were both SO SHOCKED! So then the phone calls to the airline, frantic efforts to re-book and REALIZATION of the domino effect on the plans, responsibilities and EVERYTHING that needs to happen in the few days prior to CHA……..which ALL pale in comparison to the fact that my kids are missing their mom, and the dad was SO ready for the mom to be home. I called and listened to their sweet little voices – and I feel SO bad. Isn’t it funny how ONE DAY seems like so much when you are mentally set on something!?
Could be worse… we are re-booked. Next flight isn’t until 24 hours later. And we get an extra day in Paris and night in a Heavenly Bed.
After the DRAMA… we mapped out a path to a vintage ribbon and trims store that we had hoped to check out on the first day we were here, but had no luck. We were within walking distance so we followed the walking directions on the iphone. What an amazing place. I mean, just look at the cash register?! SO VINTAGE!
Lol… and a little p r i c e y. we are talking 20 Euros for a meter of tulle (it was the very soft, supple tulle.. but still that is $28/yard basically. YIKES! It was just an amazing store. Ribbon, lace, tulle, flowers, buttons .. the works!
We spent the rest of the day wandering! The rain quit and
the sun even was peeking through the clouds. We walked and walked and walked.
It was fun to explore. The architecture, the fashion, the language, the restaurants…
SUCH an awesome adventure!
You know… as I sit here, and look out at the Eiffel Tower- it’s a little mind blowing how ‘iconic’ it is… it seems to speak to everyone, at least a little… but then, when you compare it with all the AMAZING buildings and churches, museums, etc, etc…I guess it’s just the sheer contrast of the tower that makes it stand out so much. It’s just SO spectacular and inspiring. Unique is good—that whole ‘be your own kind of beautiful- it’s working for the Eiffel tower LOL… there, a little bit of philosophizing for ya!
Ok, hopefully… next time I ‘tweet’ it will be boarding the plane coming home!
