My family's from France... six generations ago. I took one year of French in seventh grade and the next school system I went to didn't have it for 8th graders so it fell by the wayside. My grandparents speak/spoke fluent Cajun but the number of fluent speakers is dying out fast. And I have no marketable skill to take me over there. Le sigh. If you ever hang out in Haute-Garonne, I think it is, there's a commune called Seilhan in that area, and that's what my family's named after. Got a very, very distant relative who's mayor there. :) There's also a house named after another very distant relative in Toulouse. You’re so lucky. My family’s from France… six generations ago.

Occasionally it's as kllycat, but very rarely. I love the Sew, Mama blog- it's a lot of fun, but intimidating at times with its greatness! @Marta,

Whenever I comment it’s either as Kelly or Kelly from Almost Frugal. Occasionally it’s as kllycat, but very rarely. I love the Sew, Mama blog- it’s a lot of fun, but intimidating at times with its greatness!

I, too, was an exchange student in France, but my love was on this side of the pond, so I just get to visit. :) Are you Killycat on Moxie as well? I'll look for your comments if you are. Also, with all of your fab home-made ideas, have you checked out the sew mama sew blog? Some great ideas there I think you would really love. Have a great weekend. :) Marta As always, am loving your blog.

I get so mad when I read though that bloggers are making such little money though- you deserve so much more for putting your heart & soul out there like that. I will step off my soap box, I just wanted you to know you are doing a wonderful job! <abbr><em>Amy´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.momadvice.com/blog/2008/11/great-budget-friendly-gifts-for-men.htm" rel="nofollow">Great Budget-Friendly Gifts for Men</a></abbr></em> What a great post and I just finished reading your guest post on Blog Coach this morning which was equally wonderful.
