How in the world are you? It's been such a gigantic change to suddenly find myself living with four other people! It is nearly a year since I posted, but in my mind, I have written over and over. Wanting to lately, more and more . . .
Winifred Watson, the author of Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, abandoned her successful writing career after the blitz in London destroyed a family home and forced multiple generations of family to live under one roof. When Persephone Classics republished that book a few years ago, an interviewer asked her why she had stopped writing. Her answer was simply, "You can't write if you're never alone."
. . . this, I understand.
Today, I'm going to dip my toes back into the water, ever so lightly. I have something that I just have to share with you! Do you know Made by Joel yet? I've been enjoying the daylights out of his wonderful ideas these days . . . with multiple generations living under one roof. ;)

He's posted such a fun project today! Since I went to Paris, there are a couple of little girls in my life who can't get enough of it. Particularly the Eiffel Tower, probably because Grammy was kind of pleased to have climbed it, without having a heart attack or anything! They will love this. It's a sort of animated stroll through Paris. Joel intends it as a Valentine . . . maybe I can wait till then.
I've been off blogger for so long, I can't seem to make the photo into a link . . . while I sort that out, this link will get you to the page that includes this printable, and a brief instructional video.
Here's a little get acquainted video . . .
He has the most wonderful ideas. All manner of playthings, coloring pages . . . his Paper Cities . . . I just love his Paper Cities! Paper City . . . Paper City Paris . . . Paper City Sydney . . . Paper City Road Trip . . . I love, loved . . . Paper City Nativity Scene . . .there is even travel sized Paris . . .
Enjoy, enjoy! I hope to see you again! For now, I'll try to figure out how to do this, again . . .
Much love!
