Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

Words to Eat By
"Though never a very good dieter, she'd found a rule of thumb that kept her from blimping out as her metabolism aged - eat what you want, but not all of it. So if she wanted cheesecake, she made cheesecake, had a slice, and took the rest to a friend or someone in her church who needed a pick-me-up."
Lemon Tart, A Culinary Mystery, by Josi S. Kilpack

Wow! What a nice giveaway! I used to be a very stylish dresser. As far back as high school I was voted "Best Dressed", and I always took such pride in my appearance. Don't know what happened! :-) I've transferred that "best dressed" fervor to tables instead of my body!!! :-) So I wouldn't even know where to begin! My love of gorgeous jewelry has never diminished, though, so I definitely want to throw my name in the hat for the win! Geez....she has some really cool stuff! I'm a big fan of bling, and girlfriend is rollin' out the bling!!!!!! I would want to get one of just about everything! Great giveaway, Jacqueline! Whoever wins this is going to be one happy little camper!
