I am so glad I got to experience this beautiful city.
If I were to go again, there are a few things I’d do differently. Like I’d eat a heck of a lot more crepes. And croissants.
And I would take a photo of the Mona Lisa.
Because that’s what people do when they visit the Louvre. I didn’t get a photo because I thought the sign said NO PHOTOGRAPHY and being the stereotypical follow-the-rules Asian that I am, I didn’t take a photo.
Later on I realized the sign must have said no FLASH photography.
Better luck next time.

I am hard at work on a couple of different projects, but none of them are anywhere near completion, so no new kits from me this week.
Do you know who does have a new kit coming out? One Little Bird. This one is going to knock your socks off. She just posted a sneak peek on her blog and she’s hosting a giveaway there so be sure to stop by and try your luck!
What a gorgeous kit!!
Like you, we got the impression that it was NO PHOTOGRAPHY at all. I thought that was the case in much of the Louvre.
How funny!! I am one of those people that took a photo of the Mona Lisa!! I was young and impulsive, what can I say…it's a lousy photo, somebody's big head is obscuring my view. I took it so quickly, so as not to get caught…but at least I have a photo of the Mona Lisa!!
Wow, gorgeous photo! I should be so lucky as to get to Paris one day!! Saw the sneak peak on Peppermint's blog earlier this morning – looks fabulous – can't wait to see your new projects too 🙂
Such a pretty blog ….visiting via Moline.
Ha, this made me giggle, Liz. It isn't just stereotypical Asians–I think stereotypical non-Asian eldest children fit in this cateogory too… like this summer, how I checked the website of the venue we went to a concert at and it said no photography so I sadly and reluctantly left my camera at home. Maybe one of the 20 billion other people who had their cameras with them taking shots the entire concert will share a photo or two with me ; )
esther – I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that read the sign that way!
Angie – good for you Angie! We're only young once. 🙂
Lisa – I hope you do get to go one day.
Barbara – Thank you for visiting.
Elizabeth – Lol, the oldest child syndrome! You are I are so much alike, I did the same thing for the last concert I went to.
There were some many people standing in front of me when I went to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa, that I couldn't of taken a photo even if I wanted to!!! It may also have something to do with the fact that I was only 13 at the time & being "dragged" round another museum by my dad … oh how foolish was I?!?!?! Hugs, sue.falstaff
I got good photos of her, if you want them! Paris is my favorite place in the whole world. 🙂 Glad you like her, too, Liz!
Liz, if you come back one time in paris, just tell me…It will be a pleasure to meet you there 🙂
