Valentine's Day Gathering
To create some fun Valentine's Day crafts at home, each child invited a friend over yesterday. A few days earlier I made the salt dough that you roll out and I cut heart shapes. These heart ornaments took a few days to dry. The kids painted the hearts at the party. Then they glossed them and put magnets on the back. I think they came out great.Also, I made heart shaped cookies and had the kids spread pink icing on them and then sprinkled all sorts of fun sugar shaped candies.
Here is a picture of the magnets and one of the big pink cookies. It was hard keeping track of which hearts were edible!
Also, I've finally added an 'about me' section. Philip asked me to tell why I'm here is Paris. If you are interested, just press the "Qui est Auntie M?" button on the left side.

Auntie M,
Thanks for posting about why you are in Paris...and I suppose a big thank you to Philip for asking.
I do have a question, though, did your husband ever find time to write his book?
Enjoying your blog as always,
Kelley

Kelley, Thanks. He started writing a book, but he hasn't had time to finish it. He hopes to one of these days!

My thanks too for posting why you're in Paris. That's alot of work to do - raise young children in a foreign country, etc. Hmm and I thought it might be you writing in Paris. It was mentioned somewhere you'll move back to the US - gosh I'll miss the blog!
By the way, about Paris and writing: do you feel like doing a sidebar of your books you've enjoyed regarding Paris?
thanks, Terry in SF

You are so on the ball! I haven't even planned Chloe's B-day party all the way through and it's this week.
BTW, Loved the previous post about "The Aviator". It sounds like something I'd do.(-:

Terry, I will try to figure out a place to put book recommendations. I've thought about doing that in the past, but you've just given me a push. Thanks.
BM, Well, my daughter's birthday party is this Saturday and the house is a mess (as always) so I have a lot to do before then. Too bad I'd rather be making a pinata for the party and not cleaning...
Margie, The kids always make something surprising or put colors together that I never would, but the end result is always wonderful.

I am so glad you still did the heart magnets. And the cookies look great. I am sure your kids had a lot of fun. Despite what those other parents may say about you, I think you are an awesome mom.

(I must have been reading the entry from the bottom up...) Those valentines are nifty! And cookies, ummm. Nice work from the atelier de Auntie M (I'd add bakery but my French is on the blink rt now...) Very happy to read you did the intended V-day projects.

Jason, What a nice thing to say. Thanks.
Pat, Yes, I hate to complain and then not do something about it... pet peeve of mine. I think the magnets came out really well though and they were fun to make.
Terry, The cookies look better than they tasted. I've been glued to allrecipes.com trying new recipes, but the sugar cookies just didn't match the ones in the Joy of Cooking that I usually use.
Pregnancyweek, Thank you for your comment. Welcome! I was pretty worried that the children would try to eat the salt dough hearts.. they looked delicious.

The hearts look lovely. They would have been a great project for school. Thanks for visiting all the lovely places in Paris so that we could read about them.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY HOLLY HARNSONGKRAM!!!!!!!!!
ISA SAALABI SAYS IT IS YOUR FAVORITE HOLLY-DAY OF THE YEAR!
IS IT TRUE THAT IT IS YOUR FAVORITE HOLLY-DAY?
VALENTINE'S DAY AND THAT YOU WOULD CRY WHEN HE WOULDN'T GET YOU A GIFT?
IS IT TRUE THAT HE BROKE UP WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU WANTED A BABY?
...............................................................................
THIS HAS BEEN FLOATING AROUND THE INTERNET AND I THINK IT IS FUNNY.
IT IS SOMEONE'S LETTER SENT TO ISA SAALABI, THE PARTNER AND "SO CALLED" EXLOVER (BUT NOT REALLY) OF HOLLY HARNSONGKRAM. IT IS FROM SOMEONE HE OBVIOUSLY FUCKED OVER.
Maybe there is something you are not telling me
because the pieces just do not fucking add up.
OBVIOUSLY THIS MEANS ALOT TO ME BECAUSE I AM TAKING
TIME OUT OF MY BUSY SCHEDULE TO EXPRESS TO YOU IN A
MATURE WAY, HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION. I
was going to just email her or call her because I just
feel so disrespected. And not tell you. I do have a
very corrupt, mean side when I feel I am being taken
advantage of. I am sure it stems from all the abuse I
had as a child and not being able to stick up for
myself as a once innocent being. Well, now, I don't
have to take such emotional abuse. A part of me feels
angry about this and I feel like you don't care about
it. It makes me feel like being a total crazy off the
wall bitch... and not care about our friendship at all
and just totally stick up for myself because
obviously, you don't care about my feelings. I am not
good enough. If that is the fucking case, just tell
me okay. This is the first time I have not just
called someone or emailed someone on a whim... which
is a step for me.
I would never belittle you or be condescending to you
around an exboyfriend. But you don't feel the same
way. This is where we differ.
I asked you if you were still in love with her and you
said no. You said that you cared about her but you
didn't want her emotionally or physically. You also
said that if you wanted her back that she would take
you back and that you were the love of her life.
Maybe you were young when you met her and maybe she
isn't the love of your life... who fucking knows. But
all you know is that you were the love of hers.
If I am not mistaken, I asked you if you were trying
to keep the channels open between you two... like
giving her the illusion that there is a chance that
you guys still might have a shot at being with one
another future. You said YES. Am I wrong? Is this
because you are working with her? I don't understand
this logic at all. Why would you give someone that
misleading idea and be fucking other girls? Don't you
think that is evil? Don't you care about the feelings
of the other girls? Apparently not.
THIS I ALREADY KNEW.....
Benjamin Liu said that when you compared Holly to me that
it was an insult to my intelligence. I already knew
this and felt this but you just didn't care. You
should never compare people, no matter what. We went
through this already but just to put the stamp on the
envelope...
He said that she has been trying to paint these two
paintings for years and still nothing has surfaced.
That she is all talk. Your favorite, Edward Jowdy, said that he
things she is insecure because she doesn't know what
she is doing. I just don't like to be insulted or put
on the same level as an exgirlfriend. That is so
hurtful and disrespected... and if you didn't know,
now you know.
You don't understand where I am coming from and you
are creating a situation for me not to like someone I
don't know, Holly. I thought we were better friends
than that.
It is starting to make me feel judgemental...(For
example, I read her article in the New York Metro and
her answers were pretentious and unintelligent. When
she talked about film, she didn't know what she was
talking about. Is she is SOOO smart...Doesn't she
know GODARD is in theaters? Her hat was so
Chloe Sevigny ten years ago. Inspiration from
Chelsea? Halftone prints? OOKKKAYYY!) I am not like
you ISA... I don't like to sweep things under the rug.
I like to deal with things. Eventhough they are
hard. I had and still have a hard life. So, maybe
this is just my normality. BUT DO YOU REALIZE THAT
YOU AND ONLY YOU ARE MAKING ME FEEL THIS WAY? I DON'T
KNOW HOLLY FROM ADAM BUT I DON'T LIKE FEELING LIKE
THIS.
