Vintage Wednesday - me again!

I love to find old photos of me in my parents'living room cupboards. They smell vanilla or whatever cigars was put in there.

My cousin Mathieu and I on this phoot, hand in hand. See my oh-so-vintage hairdo :)

At that time, my cousin and I would always walk hand in hand, play together, laught and cry together.

Now, he lives quite far from me, he's about to become a dad and I miss him :)

He's part of my childhood and probably the person I remember the most when I think about the old days.

What about you? Do you have a photo of you with a person that best represents your childhood?

hugs!

Feeling like a kid

A really, really good tie with my two sweethearts, Sara and Thomas, my cousins.

I love you sweeties.

Now it's YOUR turn! Grab your kids, neighboors, cousins, brothers, sisters, ANY KIDS and post a photo on your blog! SILLY FACES WANTED! :)

Trip to Greece - part TWO

 

Here I am, wiht more photos to share about our trip to Greece!

My friend Elina invited us to stay for a few days in her hotel, in Mykonos, for Damien's hotel and I only have one thing to say : IT WAS HEAVEN ON EARTH!

A wonderful hotel, biult on a cliff, above the Sea, a very nice and perfect staff, an AMAZING restaurant (thumbs up up uuuuup for John, MSATER of the kitchen!) and a incredibly good welcome!

We'd like to thank Elina and all of her staff for making our holidays super special! THANK YOU!

Check out the pictuers I took of the Kouros hotel. You'll want to go there :)

 This incredible room was OURS :) Oooooh I soooo love the way it was decorated. Chic. Design. White. Marble. Wood.

This is our balcony : view on the sea and JACCUZZI :)

Damien was sooooo happy to spend some holidays for his birthday in this Paradise!

Some photos from the lobby and the restaurant by the pool...

Walk to Mykonos...it was only 10mns walk from our hotel : we loved that!

Petros :)

On this photo, you can see Damien who is VERY worried about the weather...so we decided right away to go back to the hotel...like I said, only 10 mns walk...

...and we arrived absolutely SOAKED in rain! Elina couldn't help but taking a picture! :)

You can see how soaked we were by the color of my handbag (rather light brown) and my hair!

Gyros...yum...

the famous Mykonos windmills...

Me. Relaxing in our jaccuzzi. °sigh°

Sunset from our room...

gorgeous lighthouse...

the new Greek Corcovado! :)

This was a DELICIOUS greek snack, as you can tell! Couldn't even take a picture before :D

A photo of Elina, with the striped tshirt, and her friends :) Myyyykoooonooooooos! :D

A wonderful, unforgettable trip.

I loved Mykonos, its a wonderful island, very unique, with beautiful sea, authentic.

Unique. Happy. Colorful.

LOVE :)

THANK YOU ELINA!

 

Summer Camp 2011 : FAQ's

Hello!

Many of you asked us questions about our Summer Camp 2011 online clas. First of all, we would like to thank you all who already signed up for the class : this Summer is going to be HOT HOT HOT! :)

Here are the most frequent questions we received via email from you all. If you have a question that is not answered here, feel free to post yours in the comments section, we will reply as soon as possible.

Then, you'll be able to see some sneak peeks from projects we'll be teaching during Summer Camp :)

What is Summer Camp?

The Summer Camp online class is a new concept of online workshops created by Karine and myself : 2 full months of online classes, 2 workshops a week. You will learn techniques, see where we get our inspiration from, our tips and tricks, photos and much more.

Each week, we'll host a giveaway with prizes for you to win! Our generous sponsors have come up with the best prizes ever!

How many workshops are there?

2 workshops per week : on Tuesdays, a step-by-step workshop will be hosted by one of us (Karine or me), on Fridays, you'll have a new workshop inspired by the one posted on Tuesday. Karine's inspiration, mine afterwards, and vice versa.

And because we want you to love mini books as much as we do, you'll get to create one end of July with me, and one end of August with Karine.

We'll make you scrap like crazy! :)

How many workshops and how much does the online class cost?

For only 45€, you'll be able to take ALL classes, during two months.

You'll get access to the online galery to post your projects, participate in giveaways, find inspiration thanks to the workshops but also thanks to all the students in this class.

45€ for 18 projects total, which is 2,50€ per workshop :)

How can I pay?

You can definitely use Paypal to pay. It's easy, free and secure. Use the Paypal button here to sign up!

There's no more kit available for sale : can I still take your online class ?

Though all of our kits have sold like crazy, we truely encourage you to use your stash!

We are pretty sure that most of us have tons of supplies at home that we have never tried : use them for your Summer Camp projects!

For those of already signed up, we'll soon send you an invitation to join the private blogs : you'll find there a list of supplies that were included in the kits. That way, if there are some stuff that you truely want to buy, feel free to do so. If you have everything you need at home, then we're good! :)

 

What if I'm away this Summer for vacation? How can I still take the class?

No problem! The private blog stays open for months after the end of the class and you'll get a PDF file of all the workshops in September.

The private blog will allow you to search in the archives as well : you'll be able to follow the workshops anytime!

I go on vacation with my computer in order to follow your class, will I be able to access the class?

Of course! The private blog works on every computer, with a URL and code so you'll be able to connect your computer from hom or from your vacation place!
