I am just devastated by what has happened in Paris! My heart goes out to all of those injured and killed and their poor families! I saw one man on the news, he said his family had taken his sister to the restaurant to celebrate her birthday; both of his sisters were killed as was his girlfriend and his sister's boyfriend! They are mourning the loss of four people! It is too horrible to think about.
As most of you know, I live on the outskirts of Washington, DC. So now the terrorist are saying they are going to strike us! I have decided that I will not change my Christmas plans. We go to the National Zoo for Zoo Lights , we go to see the National Christmas Tree and we are still going to go! Washington, DC at Christmastime is so lovely!
So here is my little tribute to Paris. My friend Renee went there on vacation this summer; I have been meaning to make her this layout as a gift. It seemed appropriate to make it this week.
Here is the full layout.
The second page has a pocket for storing small souvenirs.
Recipe for this Layout:

Powder Puff Chalk - Creamy Cocoa, Mocha Mama & Rusty Nail
