hello. hello.
how was your weekend? who went to see twilight? a lot of you recommended the twilight series to me when i asked what i should read next... so i know some of you were falling in love with edward all over again. or did you find yourself enamored with jacob the werewolf, and his dark mysteriousness? i haven't read the books or seen the movie but had a long conversation with my grandma discussing edward's and jacob's respective "hotness". she remains undecided on the frontrunner. ha ha. swoon!!!
i did a little search around the web this morning to find some dreamy sassafras layouts in the world. i clicked my way to belgium. je ne parle pas beaucoup de français mais j'ai aider!!! i took several years of french, but i still need a little help when it comes to reading entire pages. google translator to the rescue! (really what can't google do? i never have to delete a gmail and can see a picture of my house...) http://translate.google.com/ ...so if you, like me, aren't super proficient in another language, but you find a blog that has so much sassafras awesomeness you HAVE to know what it says, just click on the link, enter the webpage, the language it's in, your preferred language... and voila.. a pretty good translation. not perfect but it helps you open up the world a little bit more. here is a layout i found en français:
vanessa is putting our new life at the pole paper to good use. i like how she mixes in some older collections too.
chouette!!
so.. tell me what your plans are this week. are you staying home or travelling? cooking a big meal or going out? do you have the weekend off to shop or do you work retail? i want to know what you're up to...

We hit Twilight first thing friday afternoon{{sigh}}. Even took a sick day from school to miss the screaming teens that were waiting in the LONG line as we left the theater. Early Thanksgiving dinner w/family on saturday, and a relaxing week ahead with the kiddos!
Thats one rockin' sassy lo you found!

hey! i can't believe i can still read french!!!! i was born about an hour away from paris, france and lived there for about 8 years then moved to the U.S. - i've been wanting to go back to visit to see how things have changed. i think it'd be fun. but for the weekend? hmmmm thanksgiving will be wednesday night for my side of the family and thurs night for my husband's side of the family. So we'll be in GA til thursday morning and then drive 2 hrs to SC and have thanksgiving with my in-laws. Friday - possibly shopping (it'll be my first time shopping on black friday!) i am not a big shopper, but my husband wants to go. sat/sun - relax and hopefully scrap some thanksgiving pictures! ^_^

Hey, most Belgians speak Dutch!! I live in the Dutch part, which is so much cooler than the French part! But hey, you already found Belgium, so I can't be mad!

i haven't really bought into the twilight thing, but i'm sure someone will drag me to see it. i'm so not hip. haha.
i'm looking forward to thanksgiving a lot this year... new baby, newly married and hungry for some turkey! my husband is a chef and he is smoking our turkey this year at work... i'm drooling just thinking about it!
i work in retail, but i'm still on maternity leave... how great!
