I am collector I love to collect pretty things. I have had this idea in mind for a while after I bought the first doll for my daughter. I want to bring her a doll made in each country i visit. Wow I never realized how hard this could be I have to search high and low to find the dolls. I do how ever always find them. I guess it is my never give up attitude. So the reason for the doll is I take so many pictures of each place I travel too. Now I plan on locking myself away in my room and scrapping each adventure who knows you might see me and the albums one day. I plan on telling my daughter in great detail about each of my experiences and encouraging her to follow her dreams but to experience the rest of world while she is young. Each book will have pages for her to fill in as she experiences the same countries and hopefully she too will buy a doll to give to her daughter. Now on the dolls they must be originals and keepsakes so in a China based world that is much harder than you would imagine and you pay alot more. I will be back in Paris on Monday and must find a doll for her from Paris too. Her Italian Doll is a jester girl made of porcelain and representative of the Roman costume same materials. I will take pictures when I get home. I have completely froze my computer by over extending the memory sorry :(
I have had the most amazing time in Rome. The food to die for and the sights breathtaking. i have stood in the Sistine Chapel and admired the works Michelangelo and so many other famous artist. The church was just unreal too amazing for words. I was able to listen to the Pope address his outdoor congregation of about 10,000. I went to the Colosseum and The forum and Palatine, Piazza Venezia and had a glass of wine at the top in the garden terrace overlooking the city, and visited the shops sat at a street cafe admiring the insane traffic. Breathtaking is only a mere statement compared to the feeling you get when you see these masterful works of art. Than to consider the age of most of them over 2,000 years that just blows my mind. Ok so now that I have you drooling those that will be in my classes will be in for a treat. I plan on locking myself away with everything that reminds me of Italy and Paris and creating a few masterpieces of my own for my classes in the next few months.
I am itching to play so if you hear me squealing with delight after Wednesday it will be because of my ability to play play play.
Ok now for work I only have a couple of spaces left for my classes here in Italy most are so close to being sold out. So if you are thinking about coming all the details including pictures are on the website. If you are here and Italy but can not make it we can ship a kit to you.

Hi Michelle,
It was so nice meeting you in Versailles. I loved your classes. I hope you didn't have to much trouble on Sunday morning after the wine session with us Norwegian girls on Saturday night. I heard some rumours that the doorman at your hotell was not to happy that we had kept you out after twelve? Our doorman was as cranky as they come, but at least he let us back in when we came back (he did not even look us in the eye though, maybe we disturbed his sleeping behind the receptionists counter?).
I hope you have a wonderful time in Italy! I know everyone who attends your classes will!

Hey Michelle! Remember me? Versailles? Late night dinner? Escargots? Yup, that's me. :) How are you doing? Great to read your blog on your updates for Italy. Sounds like you're having a blast. I tried going to the website to have a lookie at the kit but it's all in Italian. :( Is it a different class from that you taught at PAC? If so, I may be interested. bwahahaha!! Of course, I have YET to complete my Dude album as well as the layouts from the other class. But well, I'll get to it someday. I miss you and all your energy!! Hope to hear from you soon!!! :)
