PARIS (AFP) — French fashion giant Yves Saint Laurent, one of the great designers of the 20th century who revolutionized women's dress, has died at the age of 71 after a lengthy illness.

Saint Laurent, whose black trouser suits and safari jackets became an icon of women's liberation in the 1960s, died late Sunday of a brain tumour, his former lover and longtime business partner Pierre Berge said.
He had suffered poor mental and physical health for much of his life and had been seriously ill "for a year," Berge told French radio. The funeral will take place Friday in Paris.

Rest in Peace, Yves!!!

Mini cupcakes --- Dots of colour...

Yummm! I made some cute little cupcakes last Tuesday for Alex to take to work and for some of my friends... They turned out really cute... Here are some pictures! Oh yeh, they were really DELISH, too!!
NOTE: PLEASE DON'T DROOL ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN! (hehehe)

Prayers answered!!! PHHHHEEEWWW!!!

Ahhhh, it's such a relief when things actually work... Okay, so I'm a happy camper now... and you guys are all still probably sleeping.. It's only 8:35 am on Sunday... Barbara, I know you're up by now so you my be the first person to read this today!!! Good morning to all and Happy Sunday. I am now the proud owner of 10G of space on blogger... That's a TON of space... and Yes, you can "run out" of space on Blogger and either have to open a new account and start a new blog, or opt out like I did to continue with the same blog and just pay for extra space... I went through about a gig of space in about a year and a month or two.. But, those of you who read my blog know that it is composed mostly of photos. So, I probably use space up more quickly than most of you out there with blogs. I also mostly use big size photos.. I use a Mac, Justin, so Windows isn't an option for me, thanks for the suggestion, though! I am sure others can benefit from it... and will.... to resize the photos they upload to blogger.
So now, without much further ado... I bring to you ... my new and improved, News From France... which is now stocked up with PLENTY of storage space... YAHOOOO.... oops.. I mean GOOOOOOGLE!!! Have a nice Sunday everyone!!!

Test Post...

just bought more space for my blog- The space actually goes to Picasa and gmail but the pictures you upload to Blogger are directly related to your Picasa account.. How many of you know this... If you go to your Picasa account, you will see all of your blogger pics stored there... This is a great backup system to stor photos... in case your computer crashes and you haven't done a recent back up... Anyhow.. I'm digressing.. This post is a test run to see if my extra storage space of 10 G ($20) is working yet or not.. I am having problems with it and writing back and for to support for help.. Keep your fingers crossed... If a picture appears with this post- then all is well and I will be a happy camper... If not, I'll be pissed and it means more emails to Google to figure out how to access the extra storage that has been bought and paid for since yesterday.. Here I go!
