I've been working on shrines all week for a swap I'm in. What are some good online spots to find good French ephemera in aqua? :)<BR/><BR/>What fun family pics you have posted. We took Rie to see the Horton movie and she loved it - her first movie in a theater! Bruce and I had date night last Friday night, too. We met friends for dinner and a couple of pints at a local bar. Yum. Good food and company.<BR/><BR/>How is your reading of Emma?<BR/><BR/>Bruce is working on Altered Gypsy as I type...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
