The story was lovely -- I have thought of such a list of days in my life and it's always a great experience to pick out great moments... this would be one for sure.

She is a tea mouse I created out of polymer clay and has hand applied fur.. She emerged about 3 years ago that loves to travel around the world... You can find Bebe's adventures in my older posts.. She has traveled all around Europe on her summer adventures.. I am so happy you enjoyed viewing her and your sweet note.<br />Have a great time on the field trip.<br />Penny<br /><br /><br />'<br />Angelsdoor * Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770992037653364805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-41756751103739346002013-05-23T00:21:15.075-07:002013-05-23T00:21:15.075-07:00What a fabulous recollection and what a memory to ...

The closest I came to these magnificent ponds and flowers was many visits to the oval display room in Paris of Monet's pond paintings.

I am still bleary-eyed and it is Tuesday! Anyway, I so enjoyed your photos and the accompanying story. I cannot believe that it was rejected - shame on them! I have been to France several times, but I have not made it to Giverny, although, I have seen the paintings in Paris.
