My almost Perfect Dinner

Well; yesterday I did a huge diner with very special friends! They helped me when I need it the most so my way to say THANK YOU to them was coking =D

My husband and I we were so stressed out cause is the very 1st time we invite someone to dinner since we moved Out! So Inspired in a french tv programm called "Une dînée presque parfaite"  we prepare a good menu to impress our guests. LOL
The starter was Tartare au Saumon in creme fraîche au citron with avocado, paplemouse, kiwis, mango and shrimps.. Its very easy to do and light.
The main dish was Duck Tournadeau with Potatoes à la Sarladaise (French region)
Very good wine and champagne too! I let my hubby chose the drinks cause he is French and I dont know anything about champagne. But advise ladies: theres some wine shops were u can get some advise from the Someliers!!

Desert (My favorite part) was a chocolate mille feuilles  and tea!! Yumm

This dinner was special cause we use for the 1st time our old fashion british china and our Shabby style couverts and tea pot!!

Take a look and if u like them leave a comment.

ps: The knifes are Laguiole (well knowed french blade) and they are vintage! I l<3ve the colors

Bon appétit!

I promise to....

Hello Hello

Once, I thought tht having a blog was very easy! A real piece of cake.
Since I started the blog (not a long time ago) I've being struggling with the fact that I dont know what to write.. Yeeezz§ This is the very first time this happens to me cause if you all know me , I do have always something to say!

I'm not a smart mouth as people may think..But I enjoy talking, that's why Im a Communication Consultant.
Now, comparing my poor posts and my little but very little blog againts your "U all blog experts" I feel incredibly intimidate.

Before I wasnt very good with the computer, in  fact I was terrible.. The time went by and I was forced to keep up with the technology and the social media. You must be thinking what kind of communication mayor hates technology ... Well, ME!! or at least I was.
Nowadays I feel happy cause I've learned so much with my husband (tech lover) and also with the TUTORIALS!!... Yes I love Tutos cause I understand them better and I love the Idea of people posting them to help someone like me!

With these all being said ta ta ta tannnn I PROMISE TO WORK ON MY BLOG!

I need some help so If you have any advise please feel free and leave a comment!

Bye bye for now!

Love,

Sara

Morning ladies!

Well, I must say that I'm very sorry I haven't being around here a lot, but you cannot beleive how much work I have in the office write now!
Honestly sometimes I wish I could only scrapbook and design all day long, and that the money were enough to pay the bills, the house, the weddinag and more, but reality is another one.
Ok let me tell you a little what I've being doing! I had a Job interview and it went great(Thank God) they asked me weird questions but at the end We end up laughing and cool cause I've got the Job =D
I'm very happy about it cause little by little I move forward to achieve all my goals.
I've being doing some logo's too! Barbara from Barbara's crafty corner asked me one and I must say the result was great =D It was so her and happy that I was very proud to do something it really reflects the person desires .
Ohhh about the wedding not everything has been great Tho! We applied to do our civil wedding in a beautiful "Marie" (city hall)  and they declined our petition, that brought me down a little bit cause I was hopping to have those beautifull pictures in my dream day...I will figure out something so if you have some advices hit me up!
Don't think everything is being that Bad.. I've found my wedding dress and is so beautifull and simple that i love it! I never thought this day will come but now that I'm preparing it,  everything  seems unreal =D
I need some support and cheers up mates so I really trust you all will help me to pass this rough path. Maybe I'm scared or I'm loosing motivation, but I'm ready to fight back the problems.

Love you all!

Is all about Happiness Fella's

Good Morning Sunshines!

Ohh how I love to hear that every morning, you know is like open your eyes and the first thing you see and here is a piece of Happiness. You might think "Ohh how naïve" but let me tell you something, even if I don't receive my little dose of happiness every morning, when I do I challenge the world with my biggest Smile =D

Did I told you I went to the beach this weekend?? ... I will tell you all about. France is a very beautiful country, no doubts about it, but when it comes to beach definition is very different of the beach I grew up, ok ok ok!! no everyone has the luck to have sand under the feet and that wave crush sound. I never thought that I'll miss so much the beach til' now. My home and that blue turquoise water was my piece of Happiness!

Séné is a very beautiful little village from the Nord-West of France, Charming place, kind people, great food and fisherman's town.. Ohhh and amazing Cider! Les bretons how we called them,  are one very strong celtic culture, strong temper, humble and in constant celebration mood. The sea, boats and fishing is their life, so I feel Bretonne arggggg (pirate voice) LOL 

If you have the chance, come and stop by in Séné or Vannes, one of the treasures of France, it worth it, and is not very expensive. The contrast between the woods, the end of the gulf, killer sunsets, and the Atlantic makes of the village a fairy tale!

I've toked some pictures and I will start to scrapbook them!

As you know fellas, Is all about the happiness, and lucky me I've found One... Do you find yours?

With my pirate voice, a hook in the hand and a parrot in my shoulder,

See you next time !
