Callaloo Soup

Ugh!

The weather has gone south, or rather north on us. Low temperatures, wind and rain for the last three days. Mozaique and I are extremely unhappy because the windows are closed again. She stares longingly out the window and then turns and looks at me accusingly, poor thing. But at least she didn't have to be out in it today like I did!

Bad kitty! Even when she

Bad kitty! Even when she sits on top of my newly done layouts I can't be too mad at her because she is too cute!

Mojo!

I was on fire yesterday! I did three layouts! (and little else, hence no blog update). I was truly and completely in the zone, everything just flowed. The Tossa de Mar page was done for Paula's ad inspiration challenge for this week. Did I mention that I am loving those??

And as if that weren't enough, not only did one of the Garden Girls, Joy Urazzaga, leave a comment on the Friends page on Two Peas, but both Erin Lincoln and Tracy White left comments on it in the Creating Keepsakes Gallery! I went to bed with a huge grin on my face!

I am so happy that I found this hobby, craft, art or whatever you want to call it. It makes me happy and keeps me sane!

Shopping basket

Shopping basket

It's official

I'm becoming French. I've always admired the women out shopping with their baskets, and even though I have had a market basket for over a year I've never actually gone shopping with it. I prefer to use it for stuff like holding my scrapbook magazines next to my bed.

I had to pick up a few groceries today and I don't know if it's because this basket is new (a gift from Morroco from my in-laws) but I decided to use it. As I was walking home with my baguette sticking out the top it struck me that this was it, I am now French.

Except of course I wasn't fully made up with perfectly coiffed hair like the other ladies!

Fishies!!

It's the season

Summer is definitely here in Lyon (I hope, unless the weather turns bad again). Not only was I out today in a skirt, strappy top and sandals, but all evening long I could hear the wedding processions go by. The tradition in France, as in the Caribbean is for the cars to blow their horns as they drive from the ceremony to the reception.

That plus the heat makes me feel much less homesick.
