the best part about blogging

is meeting your blog friends in the flesh! yesterday lynn from paris hotel boutique (ok she was a friend before blogging) and lisa of lisa golightly met me for lunch and shopping. boy did we have a good time. and thanks lisa for the fruit from your own backyard! it was all delish!

lisa just started her blog and makes gorgeous pieces she sells on etsy. and thanks, lisa for teaching me how to add text over photos in photoshop!

now off to check out san fran with my friend’s little sweeties who seem to turn french whenever we’re together. they begged for these berets the other day, maybe i’m rubbing off on them? hope they rub off on me, they’re so darn cute!

ok, it’s sort of embarrassing since it’s so easy but…all you have to do is click on the Text box and set your cursor on the photo. then type. i mean, my god, why didn’t i think of that? thanks again lisa!
