Thank you for visiting The French Elements blog where French is a state of mind. If I can't be in France, at least my mind can spend some time there. Won't you join me?
My name is Barb and I am the woman behind the online boutique THE FRENCH ELEMENTS. While I will always keep The French Elements blog (so many memories), I have started a new one and I hope you will visit.
CHASING THE NEXT CHAPTER is about change. The past few months I have been thinking about writing a new blog. My youngest son passed away 7/1/2015 and life will never be the same for us. He entered Heaven and we entered a new chapter in our lives. A very different chapter that is still unfolding.
We have always talked about moving back to Europe (or elsewhere). The talk continues but we are planning on making the dream our reality.
He would be pleased.
Know who you are, accept who you are, be who you are.
Tres chic!
When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

The most powerful thing you can do to change the world, is to change your own beliefs about the nature of life, people, reality, to something more positive.

I know it is over but.....
I have some pictures of the ladies from Halloween to share with you.
Hailey is on the left (Juliette)
Annika is in the middle (fairy)
Jayde is a vampire.
Their new neighbor and friend on base, did the hair and makeup.
Cash was left as is-hehe.
The Grands are sweet as sugar! I know you must miss them, I always miss my Grands too, they just seems to light up our world don't they! It must be their sweet smiles and all the love and hugs we get from them. Your new pillow designs are wonderful, I sure do love the one I purchased. Have a great week and keep creating, Elizabeth
They are too cute! Aw! Hopefully, you will get to visit or have them visit soon! I really enjoyed all our military moves, but sure did miss not growing up next to family...grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc... But the times we were able to visit, are filled with awesome memories!
I do appreciate you stopping by and leaving your sweet comment! I am truly blessed that others are interested in the art that I do and that the Lord has given me the ability to do. Please come back any time!
Blessings & Aloha!
