Friend: we met a long time ago at Ringling School of Art and Design and then again more recently at an IDS (Interior Design Society) meeting
Fellow Designer: Carmen does Custom Cabinetry and was not a fan of wallpaper Ha HA can you believe it. That is until she came to my studio and fell in love with all the fabulous wallpapers.
Blogger: I then introduced her to the wonderful world of blogging and you can visit her blog at
time2designincblogspot.com

1)My Favorite Movie is: Deja Vu
Filmed in both England and France. (Imagine
that ) I first saw it on Romance Classics (remember
that TV station, what ever happened to it) and
went on the internet and bought it about 7 years
ago. Ck it out on Netflix.

<em><span style="color:#000099;">On my 50th birthday my daughters, girlfriends and </span></em>
<em><span style="color:#000099;">I all went on a Cruise to the Bahamas. I took a </span></em>
<em><span style="color:#000099;">little day tour of the New Harbourside at Atlantis.</span></em>
<em><span style="color:#000099;">The sign said "Own A Piece Of Atlantis" I said </span></em>
<em><span style="color:#000099;">to myself, I would like to own a piece of Atlantis.

<em><span style="color:#000099;">I took the tour and we went back on the cruise </span></em>
<em><span style="color:#000099;">and nothing much came of it. Two years later,</span></em>
<em><span style="color:#000099;">I received an invitation from Harbourside to stay for </span></em>
<em><span style="color:#000099;">a week, the money from the holiday would go </span></em>
<em><span style="color:#000099;">back into the Time Share if I bought. So I booked </span></em>
<em><span style="color:#000099;">the vacation and my daughter and I spent a wonderful</span></em>
<em><span style="color:#000099;">week at Atlantis.</span></em>
