And when you are thinking what Mothers in Architecture Facebook Group Member 

Kristine Mullane Amey posted 



And you are supposed to post you "I've never met a woman architect before..." Holiday Gift List the night before Thanksgiving because now it isn't enough to post the day after Thanksgiving, the Holiday stuff is up mid October and you have a million projects going on right now...

Mothers in Architecture to the rescue!!!

I asked the group if they had any items that they made which could be on the list and they came through once again and my dear International Architect Associate friend and "fellow" San Diego #Archimom to older children, AIA Committee Chair Djana Venolia agreed to be interviewed!!

years ago, but will probably never see



Notre Dame in Paris

Yes, I have been to Paris, in the winter and in the spring, I just wanted to take my daughter for Christmas, well actually all three of the adult kids at some point, but yes, I have a lot to be thankful for.  

Thank you and have a very Happy Holiday!!!
