Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

18 days until our Adventure begins.

I just learned my absolutely favorite thus far French phrase:

"Je vais faire du leche-vitrine"

It means "window shopping" but translates as "to go window licking"

I better bring my Windex.

Get Dogs groomed

I've been watching the weather in London and Paris and need a little help..... It's been soooo unbearably hot here that I can't for the life of me remember what to wear in 60 - 70 degree weather. I've read layers, however living in Houston, layers don't really work, especially right now! Any advice?

I say pants and short sleeves. I might bring one pair of shorts or capris if the weather looks warmer. Deciding what to bring will be the hardest part of the trip for me! LOL

I've decided on all pants...with maybe a dress for the theater. I've got to decide what to do about tops. I'm definitely thinking all short sleeves but 60 degrees is going to be chilly during the mornings and evenings. I'm thinking a sweater or two will be making it into the suitcase.

Thanks Frank! Clearly I will have to inspect his luggage carefully!

To those of you that make Flaties...(no idea if I spelled that right)...

Is there a template somewhere for the body? I have a Cricut, but not the paper doll cartridge. I thought it would be neat for the kids if I took them along.

Christy, we will fully support you should you claim to be single whenever we are in public!

I will be having a conference call sometime soon with Michaels colleague and his girlfriend in London. I will definitely have a "what to pack" report from a female perspective.

There's just no way to "un-see" that.

Cynthia, I made a Flattie Ian. When I was cutting, I did a few more than I needed, so I'd be happy to send you the extra bodies and loan you my paperdoll carts. Just PM me your address and I'll get them in the mail tomorrow!

I'll tell Mike to post a pic of Flattie Ian.

Oh, that's excellent! I am so going crazy over that!

There's just no way to "un-see" that.

Unfortunately, that's so true!!!

Thanks for the Flattie pics. As for the other...

there are no words for the shimmer slickness of that shirt.
