Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope to be able to share, through words and pictures, a bit about the things I love, that interest me or that are just plain neat. A little about me…well I am a fashion, make-up, food, travel, my family, photography, music, dancing, EDH (my honey) and Clouseau (my dog) lover who thinks that, in her previous life, she was a French artist (which would explain my love of all things french and art since I was very young).
