Mind Wide Open~Paris in Spring

So here's the image of this month's Mind Wide Open challenge..with the phrase prompt "Paris In Spring". It was due in yesterday. The contest was to start today, but poor Gail had a flood in her basement, postponing the contest. I thought I'd go ahead and show my entry.
I embellished a mirror with scrap-paper and images, vintage buttons, velvet ribbon and and old earring. The text is also from a french book.

My daughter, Courtney, who loves all things Paris, is now the proud owner of this mirror! It's such a delight to make things that your children love and appreciate!
Gail does such a beautiful job designing images for each month's challenges. I especially had so much fun with this one!
Keep checking in on Mind Wide Open for all the entries and vote for your favorite one!
Have a wonderful weekend!
