100! Don't you just love that number? It was my favorite number when I was still in school when we had tests. Today, it's a number that represents a milestone on my blogging. I can't believe it is already my hundredth post when I only started blogging last January 21st of this year. Had I only known it was this much fun, I would have blogged a lot sooner. And do you know why I enjoy it so much? It's because I have met so many of you wonderful people.
To help me celebrate my 100th post, I would like to offer a giveaway. Leave a comment on this post and you get an entry for each one. Post one of your tours or sightseeing with me, I will give you another 3 entries, or on second thought, let's make that 5! That's right! 5 additional entries if you join me in posting for Sightseeing Saturday. Do you think I am trying to encourage you? LOL! I will draw the winner and announce it on my next Saturday's post. The winner gets the ff: a tablecloth for a table for 6 with 6 matching napkins that I bought from Grand Cayman, a set of 4 black ruffly placemats, a set of 4 ceramic teapot napkin rings, a religious icon from Tallinn, Estonia, a blue and white ceramic box, crocheted and vintage linen doilies, a souvenir pen and Matryoshka nesting dolls from Russia
Do you know why I called this post a double celebration? I am also celebrating because I found the pictures I took when we visited Paris. I have looked in the 2 computers that I always use and 2 external back up hard drives for months and could not find them until this morning. I found them in my HP laptop that I have not used for a while. Yipee! I was so happy when I found them and I am sharing them with you for Sightseeing Saturday. So far,

I will just show you mostly pictures because I was so in awe of the beauty of everything I saw in Paris that I could not concentrate listening to the tour guide. I could not even decide if I would look left or right because all the buildings and sceneries were just amazing.
Look at all the flowers in the windows.
Everywhere you look is gorgeous!
Arc de Triomphe
Louvre Museum, home of the Mona Lisa painting.
Napoleon's Burial Site
Now, let's have lunch and champagne while we cruise on the River Seine.
There's John and AJ enjoying the food and the cruise.
Just sit with us and enjoy the breathtaking view.
Notre Dame
Isn't the architecture gorgeous?
Notre Dame Cathedral
Aaaah! This is what I call LG! Life is good!
I don't know why but I love all the bridges and there were several!
AJ and the famous Eiffel Tower in the background. I didn't realize how huge it really is until I was right there.
I love this picture! I like seeing the Statue of Liberty with the Eiffel Tower but I wish the Statue of Liberty was bigger. But we can't complain, after all, it is a French country.
You will be smiling like this too if you were there!
Hmmm, that was a lot of fun seeing Paris again. I would really like to go back and stay a little longer to browse through their antique shops. I LOVE French antique furniture.I hope you enjoyed the tour as I have! Please join me again next Sat. for another tour!
For my Pink Saturday, I would like to show you this little egg shaped compote. I told you we collect eggs. It has pink roses so that qualifies it, right? Beverly of http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ is our gracious hostess for Pink Saturday, of which year's anniversary was just celebrated last week.
The compote is made in Germany by Dresden. As you can see, it has a chariot pulled by 2 swans, which is maneuvered by a cherub and there is a cherub on each handle.

Thank you so much for helping me celebrate my 100th post. Keep those comments coming cause I want you all to have a lot of chances in winning.
Thanks Beverly, for another fun Pink Saturday!

Alright, dear Christine, my post is ready for you at Texas midnight! I forgot about your giveaway and how exciting that Lorna is joining us! (Again, I didn't know, lol)
Love all your pictures, but the best one is the one where you're holding up a goblet. So chic!
See, I'm so excited for you, I forgot to say congratulations on your 100th post! That stash is so awesome!
Oh Christine, I am so excited this is your 100th post, and let me tell you, I have enjoyed seeing your post so much!! It is so much fun to see all of your travel pictures, and such a delight to see all of your pretty things.
Speaking of travel pictures, these pictures of Paris have me in awe!!!! They are wonderful, and they capture so many great images!! And, AJ is one lucky girl to have such wonderful grandparents taking her on such amazing adventures.
I have hardly had any blog time lately. I have been so busy with work the last month, and then yard work when I get home that I am exhausted at the end of the evening. I hope to catch up on everything that I have missed over the weekend.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Nicole
I love that compote. Your Paris pictures are exciting. I remember our trip in 1994. I loved it!
What a wonderful giveaway! I hope I win, however it's doubtful since I never win anything! Sorry i can't do your travel post, I don't have anything that would work. I may just have to join you sometime by creating a trip I would LIKE to go on! YIPPEE that you found your Paris pictures. That had to be such a disappointment. The pictures are gorgeous, I love the black lamp- posts. Your little Granddaughter looks like you I think, she's adorable. Your Dresden compote is fabulous too. I can't believe how many things you have collected. I can't wait to see more. Happy Pink Saturday and have a loveleigh weekend!
Happy hundred! What a sweet giveaway... And I love the Paris photos!
I'll be posting some Scotland photos tomorrow, so count me in on your Sightseeing!
Congratulations Christina! It's been so much fun getting to know you. Lovely pics from Paris, oh how I would love to go, you look so cute girl! Congrats again, Cindy
Congratulations on your 100th post! That's a lot of post in under a year :-) And you really went all out with the giveaway. they are all just wonderful. Well, everything you share with us through your posts are :-) And again with the egg with all those details. I think I'd be afraid to hold it for i might break it!
Aaahhhhh Paris. People are in love and always dream of going there. And I can see why. I remember that glass pyramid when I watched the Da Vinci Code LoL.

Christine, you should include this blog. Remember MBW, another Pinay? She hasn't posted in a while but her last one is about a castle in Germany and she tons of pictures!
Re-invite her to SS so we can see more of Germany! The only I've see her do is 2nd Time Around so this is a great opportunity for her to get to know all of us, too!

Hi Christine,
Congratulations on your 100th post! I'm only a third of the way there. What a great tour of France. The architecture is breathtaking. If I were to travel there someday, I would definitely see the Louvre and take a pilgrimage to Lourdes. AJ is one lucky little girl! And your giveaway, wow! What a treasure trove, but the icon of Mama Mary is a treasure in itself. You are very generous. Thanks for sharing your travels with us. It's the next best thing to being there!
~WOW~
CONGRATULATIONS

OK - I think I've figured out the logo on my post!
Your pinks are lovely, but I prefer the travel photos. Love the one w/ the statue of liberty and eiffel tower, too!
Paris looks very similar to Old Montreal here in Canada...maybe just a little prettier...but the old buildings are similar...
That is one crazy good give away!
