French Fabulousness....and my 200th Post!!!!






....Christian Dior Autumn 2010....

"Sitting there, alone in a foreign country, far from my job and everyone I knew, a feeling came over me. it was like remembering something I had never known before or had always been waiting for, but I didn't know what. maybe it was something I had forgotten or something I've been missing all my life. all I can say is that I felt, at the same time, joy and sadness. but not too much sadness, because I felt alive, yes alive. that was the moment I fell in love with Paris. and I felt Paris fall in love with me....."
Paris Je t'Aime

So, it's here....I am off to Paris.....seeing Kim again and meeting Kasey for the first time....on the train to Paris....no children.....just me and one rather large suitcase.....

And, as it happens, today is my 200th post!!!!

So....to celebrate that....and reaching 450 followers on Sunday....and my trip to Paris....I am planning a giveway to say thank you to you all just for reading....and also for the support, wisdom, advice, comments, love and friendship....thank you more than I can even say....

I will be giving away one of the following books to one winner....



...should you already have these books....or should you just not like France(!), you may choose another book :) For the prize-winner, I will also be purchasing a little something in Paris.

I am happy to mail anywhere worldwide and to enter just leave a comment and follow my blog....that's all! I will announce the winner next Monday April 12.

Finally, I am dedicating this post to Louise at Lou, Boos and Shoes and Ashlina at Secrets of Domestic Bliss for being just completely lovely over the past few weeks in particular....these girls write really good blogs, you must visit them!

Au Revoir!!!!
