Our prayers to the kitchen Gods helped because today we are one step closer to a real functioning kitchen. The counters were installed and they look so good. My kitchen actually feels so much larger and the bar area is so much nicer to sit at. I may even start liking to cook (ok, I won’t go crazy now). Now we just need our new microwave hung (waiting for my dad) and that will clear up that counter. Up-dated Pictures: 
Tomorrow the guy I work with is coming over to hook up all the plumbing. I will be so thankful to have running water again.
Creative Corner….on the creative front. I was happy to receive the current issue of PaperArt Magaine. This may be one of the first cards I ever had published. Quote an honor since I don’t consider myself much of a card-maker. I created this card for Diecuts with a View and was thrilled it was picked up.
My goal for 2007 is to display some of the beautiful pictures I take of the family. So many people assumed that I had walls of pictures when truth-be-told the last pictures up were of Tyler as a baby. Joey to this day argues that some of them are him. Whatever makes him fell better. So last night I started experimenting with ideas to add 
to framed photos. This is an 8 X 10 canvas I made of Mickey. I just love how it turned out. The majority of the materials are Diecuts with a View. I am definitely going to make a few of these to adorn our walls.
I love when I try something new and it actually works. I am the hardest to please and actually liked something of my own. Keeping my fingers crossed that DCWV picks up my latest creations to use on QVC again!
