When I lost my first hubby, I went with a girlfriend for a week to experience a childhood dream. It was just what I needed to feel alive again. Such fabulous memories. So, if you come to my stamp room, you would see it is done in a Paris theme and I mean everything is Paris or French inspired. I am truly happiest in that room. My current hubby thinks I have an "illness" for the tower, as the says it is everywhere, but I think it is happy. I hope someday to get there with him. What was your favorite part of Paris? I adored it all, but loved all the museums (wish I saw more of them...)Winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926597921523807422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848908867135912792.post-4387502228669903192013-05-06T07:15:43.112-05:002013-05-06T07:15:43.112-05:00Wow, what wonderful work!!!

I'm lucky enough to have been to Paris twice, once as a kid, but it was definitely much better the second time when I had a romantic weekend with my husband :-) What fantastic gifts these will have made as mementoes for your friends, and I'm sure they are much appreciated. I love the paint stamping and all the images you have used are perfect. How thoughtful to have matched them to the recipient's colour schemes too. Love the pink metal, perfect for Paris. Fabulous projects and thanks for the inspiration!
