Texas weather sure is strange. Monday it snows just enough to make everything look so pretty. Then it is gone by midmorning… Tuesday and Wednesday it is sunny and warm enough for painters to paint the outside of our house… today it is once again cold enough to snow. And snow it did. As I sat waiting for Ansley to get out of school my car was completely covered in snow. It was so pretty to watch fall.

These are a few photos taken just after I got home with Ansley. We ended up getting around 2.5 inches and a little more should come tonight. Notice there are no photos of kids building snowmen, making snow angels, having snowball fights etc. Just one not so happy snow bunny with a forced smile! But I am happy I at least got this photo. The snow doesn’t seem to be as fun when you are 14 compared to when you were 7 or 8. Total bummer for me. I love photos of kids playing in the snow.

Here are a few more sneak peeks of projects I am creating for classes. I am very much in the mood to create Foofy things right now. I just love the feel of tulle mixed with rhinestones, vintage buttons and old photos and I think my Mom was the cutest little girl. She was around the age of three in this photo.

I’m just about finished with my third project…. tulle, vintage glass glitter and lace are just a few of the products I used. Gosh do I ever love this project. Hopefully I will have it completed by tonight so I can share it with you tomorrow.

I can’t believe it has been a week… I’m sure all of you have seen lots of CHA photos by now. Sorry about that but I do have a great excuse for not posting. I decided to enter the 2008 Memory Makers Master Contest at the last minute. So for the past week I have been in a scrapping frenzy. Last week I was chatting with Caroline about some book ideas and before I knew it she had me entering MMM! Gotta love friends like her that give you that little extra push. I would not have entered but now that it is all over and my package has been delivered I’m really glad I did. Thanks C.

CHA is a great experience. Catching up with friends from all over, meeting online friends for the first time and the early mornings and late nights, to me are so addicting. I love the feeling of a deadline and that slight… I don’t think I can move exhaustion. I honestly love everything about CHA.

Here is a group photo we took in the Maya Road booth the last day of the show. I love all these women and find them all so inspiring.

From left to right…. Heather, Caroline, Jessica, Aubrey, Judi, Me and Deborah

Tomorrow I will share some of my photos of Downtown Chicago. Jess and I had so much fun and lots of laughs in the few hours we had until we needed to catch a plane.

Have a great day.

when you have your legs, face and feet? Why is it always funny when it isn’t YOUR kid? I just love these photos of my niece, Madelyn. It is so nice to see her finding her creative side. Although, my sister and BIL don’t seem to think so. Hey, I told them it could have been worse… she could have used a Sharpie!

And look at these sweet photos… Madelyn so loves her little sister.

Since everything I am working on at the moment is for CHA and I cannot share I thought I would share a few photos my sister sent me of Madelyn and Isabella. Madelyn LOVES being a big sister. She cannot do enough to help. These photos are of the two of them in Madelyn’s bed. Madelyn and Isabella were watching a movie, then Madelyn decided to read Isabella a book and before she knew it Isabella was out like a light… sound asleep. Madelyn was so happy she was able to get Isabella to take a nap. The only issue now is Madelyn is always trying to get her to sleep even when she isn’t tired.
