San Francisco--Part 3

2008-08-29T14:38:00-06:00

I couldn't do these bookbinding trips without the support of Jeremy. He encourages me to leave him alone with the kids for long weekends three or four times a year. He is almost as excited for me as I am...

On A Break

If there are any readers out there who have not checked out my friend Michelle's husband's blog Take Out Photo, you really should. I can attribute my love-bordering-on-obsession with Paris to Marc. Were not for him I would never have...

Testing, testing. . .

A Little Bit of Paradise
