Every February my friend, Sandra, has a party for a bunch of women. We all get together for lunch, crafts, a gift exchange and lots of laughs.Each year her theme is different.
This year she has picked a Paris theme. I love this theme! I've never been to Paris but I just know I would love it. It's on my dream list of places to go to. I even want to learn to speak French. I plan on getting one of those lessons on tape that you can get. You know, the teach yourself to speak French tapes.
I don't want the French to hate me when I go over because I don't speak their language. So at least I want to show them I'm trying.
Just mention the word Paris and my mind drifts off to a storybook fantasy of romance and Heaven on Earth.At these parties we do have a gift exchange of around $25.00. We try to stick to the theme for the gift. For some reason I'm drawing a blank! I have no idea what to buy. I don't want to get something that can't be used.
Any ideas ladies? If you were going to this party what would you hope your gift was?
I love this idea! What a treat it will be to attend. I feel the same way about Italy. I want to go so badly. Good luck with a gift. Not sure what I would take.

Speaking of learning French, I stumbled across "French Word a Day" blog which I really like. The woman who hosts the blog lives in France with her family and she always has fun stories to read and of course she teaches you a 'french word a day.' Check it out! http://french-word-a-day.typepad.com/
