Galleries Layfayette in Paris. Isn't it beautiful! I am not a shopper but shopping in a place as beautiful as this is easy. When you get weary, you just look up and around:) I have a bit to do yet for my gift shopping but I know what to get. Luckily, maybe unluckily, I just have a small family so it is not a huge endeavor. December 3rd already. Tick tock...it's flying.

I've signed on for December Views so will be taking my camera with me more often this month:)

Today will be a painting day for sure:) I have not done anything since last week, it was so busy. I have also neglected my walks, and nothing should get in the way of those. They help keep me sane:)

Thanks for your donations yesterday! I really appreciate it. Even $2. helps. It all adds up. These schools and programs are changing lives. It is not an area that is "popular" to help because of all the ruckus and that is exactly why it is so important. The schools are an alternative to the "madrassas" that are popping up everywhere. Thanks for bearing with me here, I don't normally push causes but this one struck a chord with me and I will promote it for a bit as my holiday gift to those kids and families in the remotest of places . Please feel free to link to yesterday's post as a gift to me:)
