I’m home

Feb 3, 2011

It sure did feel great sleep­ing in my bed last night although I was hang­ing on for dear life because Chief was hog­ging my entire side of the bed. I must say the drive was a whole lot of scary get­ting home. I have never seen so much ice ever in Texas. Ans­ley has not had school since Mon­day and will not have school tomor­row either. Tonight and tomor­row morn­ing we are sup­posed to get snow so no telling what tomor­row will bring in the weather depart­ment. Although they say it should get warmer Sat­ur­day so the ice should melt. We shall see.

I cer­tainly have enough work to keep me busy for the next month as my step-by-step photo shoot is next month. While at CHA I was happy to get a new spon­sor for my book. Vin­tage Street Mar­ket has some really great new prod­ucts that I can­not wait to start play­ing with. Also, got to bring home some new prod­ucts from Jenni Bowlin and Pink Paislee. So tomor­row is the begin­ning of bury­ing myself in projects big time.

Miss­ing this view from out­side my hotel window.

Came home to this… that is about 2.5 inches of ice on the street, side­walks and our dri­ve­way. We couldn’t even get the car back up the dri­ve­way and into the garage.

Still so happy I got to meet Suze.

Miss­ing see­ing these new jew­els and trims by Maya Road every­day… oh good­ness are they awe­some and so fun to play with… can­not wait to get all of these in my hot lit­tle hands.

Alan got this super cool charm bracelet by Betsy John­son for me for my birth­day… I love charm bracelets and when I saw this in LA instantly called Alan and told him I had just found what I thought would make a great happy birth­day to me gift from him. He agreed.

And the Maya Road “Road­ies” got me after din­ner at Maria’s Ital­ian Kitchen on my birth­day. As most of you know I do not like to bring atten­tion to myself at all as I am a bit shy (that is unless we are talk­ing about cre­at­ing then that shy feel­ing goes out the win­dow) well when they had the waiter come out singing happy birth­day to me along with a super won­der­ful choco­late brownie I really wanted to crawl under the table and hide. It was so sweet of every­one and I am so for­tu­nate to have such great friends.

Now I’m off to wash all the dirty clothes I brought back and try to get my scrap­room orga­nized so I can start work­ing tomor­row. I left it a mess from the CHA projects I cre­ated for Ranger and Tim Holtz. I will show you these soon. But I will end this post with a photo of the Designer Can­vas I cre­ated using Ranger’s new Per­fect Pearls and Per­fect Pearl Mists. The flow­ers are made using Tim’s Tat­tered Flo­rals die.
