I had a fun and insightful day today. My sister's neighborhood held a big craft fair that we entered some of my things in. I got to meet some very fun and creative people and sell quite a few copies of Boudreaux the Bright Red Crawfish! The best part was talking to the people who bought the books. It was nice to see how many locals used to live in south Louisiana or have family from there! I enjoyed the event and look forward to doing more of them in the future. Next year I'll have TWO books to sell and maybe some hot sauce....but you didn't hear that from ME! Anyway, be sure to come back soon, my talented husband is revamping the site and it is gonna be AWESOME!!

Well, a lot has changed since April. Our family has moved north of Houston, Texas. Though we didn't want to leave our family and church home, Matthew and I decided that since he is now working from home, and we are ready to have another baby, we just couldn't afford to buy our own home in New Orleans. We've purchased a great two story house only about 10 minutes from my sister's home and found a wonderful church here too. Having my own place to decorate has inspired the painter in me, so check out the Other section in my Portfolio for some of my new stuff!

I am still able to work for Warren Swenson (via email) and though we are pretty much finished with the second book, it is too late to get it printed for this Christmas. The good thing is it WILL be done for next year! And we are planning to start on a smaller book in the meantime so there will be a lot less pressure this year. As for Sarah? What a personality she has! Her favorite things now are Veggie Tales, drawing, and pretend play. Her imagination is amazing! Why not check out some new pics in my Scrapbook? My wonderful husband is also working on revamping this site to make it even better, so be sure to come back soon!
