Who wants to think up an Instagram/Twitter hashtag for my impending European family holiday? Just for fun. Just for an excuse to have a long overdue giveaway here at my blog? I started using #thegrandtour hashtag and it turns out that ‘Est Magazine‘ is using that hashtag for their fun ‘The Grand Tour’ Instagram Giveaway … which, by the way, I have decided to participate in, as I love their motto … ‘the finest things in life are often the simplest’. You can see their competition HERE.
How about I give away a fancy light? Like this one? (thanks to Tessa at ‘Down That Little Lane’ for the beautifully styled photo of it!)
I want a hashtag that reflects the magic of Europe in winter. Ok, so I’ve left it a little bit late to have a giveaway, seeing I’m leaving the country in a few days time, but we’ll fit it in. I’ll annnounce the winner when I get to Singapore next week …. say Tuesday 18th December? How’s that? If I don’t show up on that day, I’ll be back here the next. It’s all a bit casual here at the moment. So leave a comment below with your holiday hashtag suggestion and I will choose a winner next week.
And speaking of running out of time, I just want to mention that ‘French Navy’ have a ‘Buy 5 get the 6th for free’ box offer at present … HERE.
Gorgeous stationery … perfect for hostess gifts, colleagues, end of year presents for teachers … the list goes on (or you could even just keep them for yourself!). It’s not too late to order for Christmas, but time is running out.
How did the year go so fast?
Time is running out for me too. I am shipping the last of my light orders out over the next 2 days and then I am shutting up shop … well not really … my website is still available to purchase through while I’m away, it’s just that orders will not be shipped until I stagger out of jetlag, sometime around the 17th January, 2013.
Happy Tuesday night!
A-M xx
Love it A-M, ok I am in. How about #europeinwhite.
I am a simple girl aren’t I.
It wasn’t taken as far as I could tell as I wrote this and unless someone pops off and grabs it (just to be the fun police) its all yours.

#ChocolatChaud. I’ve been to Europe in winter. Worked in ski resorts and travelled and believe me in many ways it’s all about the hot chocolate. Wishing you a wonderful trip.

The Trip that A-M took!
Have a FABULOUS time! You won’t be able to help yourselves!

How about A-M’s European Vacation (a nod to National Lampoons), or an A-M in Paris (a nod to another classic, an American Werewolf in Paris).
Have a great trip, whatever you decide!

I can’t wait to see all the pictures! Gosh it will be magical!
Have a fantastic time……..#Tour d’Europe.
#Postcard
An electronic postcard is a great way to let people know you are travelling! I look forward to hearing about your journey. Paris has a place in my heart and I love everything about it – the food, the architecture, the accent, lol!
Enjoy

I would like to add ultimate but felt it was getting long winded. Hope it is truly wonderful for all of you. Merry Christmas!
I am really feeling the romance of this trip so I would like to take you back at least a century or 2 and suggest #legrandtour. As far as I can see it is not used at all on twitter. It also then can include the men in your life becasue it is about them too!
Have stacks of fun A-M. We are also off for a break and I can’t wait for a decent holiday.

How about “Postcard from Paris”
or “A-M Bon voyage”
Have a wonderful time!!
Happy Holidays !
What about #adventureawaits?

Ok what about #HAMparis or #frenchham something with #ham for house of AM. HAM is easy to let others know about and fun for the boys plus quirky too. And perhaps you could do a whole series of photos on eating French ham. I would be a bit worried about non French people being able to understand or find you on IG. Or #2012hamchristmasholiday #christmashamtour oh dear I could keep going on and on!! I am afraid I am stuck on the ham bit, perhaps as it lunch time!!

In thinking back to that letter to santa from your little boy…I think about his sweet innocence and belief that will probably fade throughout this next year and your oldest who while probably still has some childhood innocence which I am guessing is fading day by day. How about #innocenceonice, so you always remember this time in your life, with your two childhood boys roaming the streets of Paris as a family, because it will never be the same, not even next year. Enjoy everyday!

My hash tag for our trip is #runawaytoparis mostly because the idea was born that we would just go, instead of just dreaming about doing it. How romantic is the notion of just up and going to such a beautiful city on the other side of the world?
Hash tag for you? As you are a runner, how about #seinerunning or #parisrunning?
#AMinParis. It has to be short and sweet so you have room to tell us stuff!
