A BHG Barnacle I am!


My friends Layla and Kate were featured in Better Homes and Gardens.

So of course I needed a copy!


Standing in the middle of Wal Mart I hurridly flipped to find them.

Never....did I imagine to find this!


I painted this sign for Layla and Kevin for above their reading room!

I tried not to squeal like a girl ....but I think I may have.

I called my Mom and shared my news.


I guess I'm kinda like a barnacle. Ha!

Thanks Kevin and Layla for allowing me to ride along side of you.



Here is a shot of her reading room.



Ok..now I have to go wash dishes.
