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....


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

Congratulations Barb! I can't wait to see the magazine - I'll be staking out the Walmart magazine aisle starting the 2nd week of November LOL. And I'm so excited that you've decided to audition for Design Star! They would be lucky to have you, and I for one would start watching the show again. This year pretty much left me cold, they need you to shake things up :) Hugs, Kat

Oh Barb, that is so neat. I can hardly wait. I definitely want a copy. I hope you do audition for Design Star. I am sure you would win. You are so talented. I hope you and all the family are doing well. Miss you at the village.

I was browsing HGTV.com today and looking at the section called Holiday Decorating and they had a picture of your diningroom. I was so thrilled to see it. From either last Thanksgiving or Christmas. But it was fun to see. Hugs, Marty
