In fact, credit the ability as a second language to convey ideas--then don't even need to speak about them. Put together a materials board and watercolors--voila! Then had a head injury accident and never drew/painted again. Hope and believe that when I relocate to France this skill will magically return. In the meantime--I love your tips and revel in your style and colors!French Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877250491305721895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-44320056965232007982012-09-04T10:43:41.307-04:002012-09-04T10:43:41.307-04:00Dear Carol,

My husband and I are planning to go to Salon du Chocolat in Paris this October for our anniversary. I am also preparing an album for us, and hope to collect lots of souvenirs. I know I can purchase the tickets online, but that means it will be printed on paper. I was hoping to get one of the “postcard” colored type of ticket or is it an invitation? Do you have any idea how I could get those, I would appreciate any advice you could give me. I live in the United States, therefore have no access to the French shops where tickets are being sold. I have enjoyed your Blog very much and learned about the Salon du Chocolat through you:) <br /><br />Thank you so much for your help and I hope to hear from you soon,<br />bao-kim<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-18199271779290991692012-09-04T09:05:52.047-04:002012-09-04T09:05:52.047-04:00Fun idea!

I think it is because right now some knitting projects are sort of filling that experimental window of time.<br /><br />Ah, but tomorrow is always just over the horizon, offering freshly created hours! And, I will have the day off tomorrow. Maybe I will get an early start, go over to Central Park with paper, brushes, paint box, and jam jars...and do some green blobs with yellow edges, inspired by the turning of the trees.<br /><br />Sounds good? xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-3409419833088728782012-09-01T06:06:30.596-04:002012-09-01T06:06:30.596-04:00THANKS Sue!!

I kept seeing all these artists with multiple boxes, all sizes and shapes and couldn't imagine why they "needed" them all. Then I read about a box that had a seal to keep the paint fresh. I "needed"it. And I have since "needed" many more boxes, tubes, brushes.
