Scrapbooking with K And Company!!

I am so very excited to announce that our first line of scrapbooking materials with K & Company is coming out soon! I had so much fun designing the papers, stickers, and tags with our Nature's Sketchbook Art. K & Company's products are beautiful, fun, and always of the highest quality; it is a joy to be working with them!

Check out the Sneak Peak of this collection on Scrapbook.com!

Fun at Bray's!

Al and I had another wonderful retreat to Bray’s Island last weekend – here are some highlights of the trip!

Can you spot the little herron we saw on our walk?

Here are pictures of the fox hunt we attended. The Middleton Hunt comes to Bray's every January. This hunt was not hunting live foxes – only following a laid-out scent. Here are our friends Pam and Cindy right before it started!

Releasing of the hounds!

The group leaving for the hunt! The main huntsmen are in the red jackets and lead the hunt.

New at Cracker Barrel!

Our 2 latest Cracker Barrel programs are now available at the Old Country Stores.

Atlanta Gift Mart

I just got back from another wonderful gift show in Atlanta! As always, we enjoyed catching up with old friends, meeting new friends at signings, and getting to see new programs from an array of companies. The new products look beautiful - here is a sneak peek at some of the new gift and home decor items coming out over the next year!!

Medici Dinnerware

One of our newest dinnerware designs - Medici - has arrived! It is an exclusive design, available NOW at Dillards. I loved this program so much that I ordered a set for our new home on Bray's Island. Everyone at the studio knew I was waiting anxiously for the dishes to arrive, so they set them out on the table and had the camera ready to catch my reaction when I walked through the door!
