And All Through the House...

A few days ago, I came home from an extremely hectic day, to find a package on the kitchen counter.  I didn't see it at first, in my haste to get out of my offending high heels, put my hair up in a pony tail, give kisses to the babies, start dinner, etc.

But, my sweet hubby couldn't take it any longer and waved the package in front of my face.  I turned the package over and saw it was from "Country Woman" magazine and I squealed with a delight like a little girl.

Inside was "my" magazine. :)

I immediately handed out all the copies which were inside the package to Bill and my daughter-in-law, Amanda.  (insert more squealing)

I am so happy with the results.  I am sad I did not get to see all the shots which were taken, particularly those of me and Grandpa and our Grandloves eating cookies, etc.  I am hoping the photographer will share some of them with me.  I am extremely embarrassed, of all things, about how wrinkled my tablecloth appears.  I declare it DID NOT look that bad in real life. LOL  Oh well.....

I enjoyed the remainder of the magazine immensely, as well,  and have decided to subscribe. Not because of my photo shoot, but because I really enjoyed the articles and features.  The magazine is not a thick one, but on the same hand it is not filled to the brim with advertisements and such.  I am even planning on hosting the "Wreath Party" they feature.

So if you are interested in getting a copy, I am told you should hurry and find one as they are limited in edition and they sell out fast. I am also told that Walmart is the best source for most areas of the country.

If you don't have a Walmart close-by, then you are in luck....my kitchen is featured in full length on the website.  You can visit:

and click on the "Kitchens" link at the top.

Here is another small peek:

The best part is that all the pics can be enlarged when you click on them.

I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I had fun with this whole photo shoot. 

Enjoy.... Barb

Coming to a Newstand Near You....

I am so pleased to be able to finally announce the magazine where my Christmas-decorated kitchen will be featured....

Country Woman Magazine

The special Holiday edition is expected to be out mid-November, and I was told the best location to find this magazine is at Walmart.  You can also purchase a copy online.

I am very excited and can't wait to see it because I have not even seen a glimpse of any of the photos. I am also so thrilled to have been able to work with

Harry Taylor, the photographer. 

He works with several national magazines, and we have agreed to collaborate together on several other photo shoots so he may submit them to other magazines.  How awesome is that?

Finally....I have decided that its now or never for me to audition for HGTV's Design Star.  I will begin creating my audition video next month.  My good friend, Kimberly @ Southern Whimsy has graciously agreed to design my portfolio into a creative scrapbook. Thanks Kim!  So please wish me good luck...I think I'm gonna need it.

Soooo sorry I have not been updating my blog.  Hoping to be able to add some posts with some holiday decorations.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful Indian Summer.

Blessings, Barb
