Wauw - those sugar flowers are fantastic ! As to your tatoo, I am sure it is "top of the pops" craftsmanship - but......hmmmmm......... it's not really up my alley (is that the expression ?). My son will love them, I am sure. He is right now designing another Japanese symbol to have tatooed on his upperarm..... crazy kid. I will take pics of his tatoos and send them to you !

Thanks all!!!........."Jack of all trades, master of none" is what I call myself. The little girl is the daughter of an an aquaintance on another forum, who asked me to have a go at drawing her and the little boy is our grandson. Of couse silly me forgot that I had actually put the names of the monsters on the drawings! Duh!!! My mum sells her sugar flowers all around the world, we have done as far as the USA and Australia.......(Drumming up more business lol) So if any of you want any give me a shout! Tee Hee. Shoesy, I still love to do the avatars, pictures and stuff when I get time. Hope you are getting some rest in NY?

Wow, no wonder you didn't have time to post Andi! Sugarflowers, tatoos, and monsters...humm adorable kids in the drawings, and you are a grandmother?!! Find a bit of time to keep us up to date! And Gitte that is the cutest kitten, yours ? I think it would enjoy a little foie gras!

geordy - no, not my kitten. It is a British shorthair, silvertabby - so it would be very expensive to buy.
Sadly I am not allowed to have kitties. My husband is one of those weird doglovers, so no kitties on the premises. Which I accept - only to take a gruesome revenge and leave him as often as possible to go to PARIS !! My other revenge is that I will not have any doggies on the premises.....
We live on a farm, so only wild/semi-wild cats are allowed outside to keep mice and rats away - and we don't feed those cats. They must look after themselves.
Maybe we should spread some foie gras - that would certainly keep the mice and rats away !! A real kitty wouldn't touch that goo - much too delicate palates, kitty has.....

Andi, we missed you. I started with page 3 ,like some good book that you want to get to the bottom of the mystery quickly. Try it. It got spooky really fast! Gitte can terrify anyone!! Glad you o.k.. s

Your mothers flowers are really stunning. She really must have a very steady hand. Now I see that you come from a very talented as well as creative family. s
Hey, Who gets to keep the kitty? Someone hit the jackpot there.

Hello again everyone........just taking a moment to catch up on my favorite Paris site. I do hope you are all well? Still busy busy busy at my end but I haven't forgotten you all. Just had a week camping in Cornwall, it was ok but not as good as Paris! We are now mid decorate in the lounge (don't even ask) and trying to do flowers/hair/tattooing all at the same time!!!!! Congrats to Shoesy's successful wedding, hello to all newbies, happy holiday to anyone who is going to Paris soon, keep well all. Hugs Andi x ;D

Thanks for the update Andi ! Now maybe we should start another thread : "Where is Gitte ?" . She hasn't posted for days, and that's very unlike her ...

Hi Anne! Don't worry about Gitte. She's been very busy at work these days, but she'll be back to us as soon as she has time. Hopefully, that'll be before ............she leaves for Paris again later on this month. ;D

Me me me, it's all about me. I had a very difficult time this summer trying to get this site at all and not just 1 time. Sometimes it would take 2-3 weeks and you should see all the stuff I had to go through. Last night after 5 hours, in big bold black letters it said that I was FORBIDDEN to use this site. It has happened to me more than once. I have only 1 time VERY unintentionally offended 1 person that I am aware of and it still very much upsets me. If, at any time I have upset any one else, please let me know. I throughly enjoy this site. I love the articles. I can't even begin to tell you all how much I enjoy all of your articles. But because of my 1 mistake, I am afraid to give any input and I miss that. I hope that I'm missed a teeny bit like Andi is. Wouldnt we all? Please let me know if I did anything to offend. I would appreciate it. Any mistakes that I've made, I'd like to correct. I am by nature a very quiet person, but tell me what to do, and I will try. Thank-you Susan . I do love your articles and I have found out that early next Sept. we are off to Paris for a 2 week visit. YIIPEE for me!!! Thanks for listening to me Susan.

Hi Susan, Now I'm upset that you feel upset! Can't recall any particular posting that would lead to that, and I can certainly say that I have probably made a posting (or two) that was not to everyone's cup of tea (or coffee ) Normally I make those replies late a night, flicking through another travel site, and having consumed one to many of la (les) verre (verres) de (des) vin (vins)! I remember reading or listening to someone describing this very well and actually giving it an internet type name (like phishing) but can't remember at the moment. Keep on contributing, and let us know your plans for Sept 08 Best wishes
