Paris

Paris in the spring...who could ask for anything more?

Chilling


I love this layout and this picture of Lionel and Cathy. We were all taking a break after visiting Arundel Castle in Sussex. I painted the picture frame, ribbon slider and letter to match the layout and I really like how it turned out.

Roots

Lionel and Cathy's visit was definitely one of finding our 'roots'. This is a picture of Cathy out front of the house in East London that her grandparents had lived in many years ago before emmigrating to Canada. The house is located right across the street from Victoria Park, a very lovely area.

We found several tombstones of the Cornet family which really made our trip worthwile. Lionel and I were very emotional about finding and visiting the birthplace of Grandpa Cornet. It was lovely. We had a lot of help from a local man who did much research on the family tree for us and met us for drinks the night we stayed there.

Rulles


This is the second page of a 2 page Layout of our trip to Rulles with Lionel and Cathy. It was rather comical arriving in town and trying to communicate with non-english speaking locals!
