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.

in the house. I get to talk to Martha Stewart Tuesday, May 8th live on her show! That is as long as my phone conversation doesn’t get bumped as told to me via the producer. I’m a nervous wreck. I have loved Martha since the 80’s and can’t believe I get to talk to her about the layout I entered in her contest. I saw her at CHA-W in Anaheim. She actually walked past me twice. I’m sure I looked extremely intelligent with my eyes popping out of my head and my mouth wide open! Anyway, Karen will be calling me either Saturday or Monday to go over what I’m supposed to do and how it all works. Thank goodness the call will be around 9 a.m. central time as my heart could not take waiting all day long, Tuesday. I’m hardly hanging in there now. I sent Karen a photo and a paragraph about me and my layout and now I just need to come up with a “Good Thing Tip” for scrapbooking to share on the show. I’m gonna have to write stuff down and have it handy. I have a feeling my mind is gonna go completely blank when I hear Martha’s voice. And so that I know where it is at all times I am going to attach it to my body right next to my cell phone. I have had my cell phone basically glued to me since I got my first call from Karen Sunday evening and MISSED IT! That was torture waiting for her to call back.

Well today besides thinking about Martha all day long I’m going to take my brother-in-law Dougie to the airport, work on some projects and try to not go to Celebrity Cafe and Bakery to eat their fabulous coconut ice box pie! Nothing settles the nerves better than a great coconut creme pie!

Have a great day.

Sadly, a few days ago my oldest daughter Terri had to put her kitty to sleep due to a serious illness. Well, last night Terri came to see me with her new baby. Zeus is 9 weeks old and is so sweet. I cannot wait to dog sit. It is nice to see a smile on Terri’s face. She was so upset over the loss of Annabelle.

I will be out of pocket for a few days so no updates until Tuesday. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and thank you all so much for all the sweet e-mails you have been sending. It is so nice to know I have sparked your creativity. I would love to see some of your creations. If there is a project of mine you have recreated please e-mail it to me. I would love to spotlight it on my blog.
