Bonjour mes amis! I have returned safely. I am very thankful that I did not see a single sign of anything reported on the news. I felt very safe and had a wonderful time.
Can you believe I did not find a single LSS! I even went into the Galleries Lafayette which I could compare to our Macy's in NY or perhaps Harrod's in London. They had a hobby/craft department that I checked out. Lots of needlepoint and knitting, but nothing for scrapbooking! No papers, no tools, not adhesives! It was sad! All you TLC's and CM have a HUGE untapped market!
The business portion of the trip was successful and I had time to have a great time. We walked the Louvre, Notre Dome and go an express VIP entry to the top of the Eiffel Tower -- no waiting in lines and it was free!
I've had more chocolate in the past week that I've had in a month! I've drunk more wine than in the last year combined! I'm positive I've gained 30 pounds, but what a way to go! We ate rich desserts at both lunch and dinner.
We were so busy having fun, that I got very little scrapping done. I did finish one paper piecing and got a few more cut out.
Thank you for all the prayers. They really worked!!!
