Words can’t describe my trip. It was awesome! We have a holiday weekend coming up (no school on Monday), and I will be back in action on Wednesday, February 18th.

For now, here are a few photos from my trip.

Empire State Building with Westminster Purple and Gold lights - photo credit: Janet Crosby
This is the Empire State Building bathed in the Westminster purple and gold lights. This is a special partnership between Westminster and the Empire State Building. The lights change for the seasons, special dignitary visits to NY, and special events. Here are a few of the dog photos I have up so far. I have about 500 to sort through!

Me and Annie Lennox at the Good Morning America taping - February 10, 2009
I had an unbelievably amazing time seeing Annie Lennox perform on Good Morning America (GMA) and meeting her afterward. I have been a fan forever. I am still floating! She is even more awesome in person.Annie Lennox

I was in the front row(!). Thanks to Annie and GMA for this opportunity.

Uno the Beagle - 2008

I will be taking a little bead break to attend the Westminster dog show in NYC February 9 and 10, 2009.  I will be back on the 14th. I have put the Etsy store items on the “back shelf” until I return, so the store is currently empty at the moment.

<— Here is the 2008 Champ, Uno the Beagle, who I met after last year’s show.

In other news… HGTV is finally scheduled to air the “That’s Clever” episode featuring my work and the work of other Spokane area artists. They shot the show in the summer of 2006 in Spokane, and I just learned that it is finally going to air. LOL I do not have the date yet, but will post here when I do.

Thanks for stopping by and I will try to post photos of my trip — if not during the trip, after I get back.

I am still working out a few kinks. The main site structure is the same, with the exception of the new “Fun Stuff” category, replacing the “beads to buy” page, since that was a duplication of the Bead Blog. The fun stuff page has snow photos, customer shop links, and more.

Have a look around!

And more snow. http://janetcrosby.com/orig-blog/2008/12/29/snow-snow-and-more-snow/ http://janetcrosby.com/orig-blog/2008/12/29/snow-snow-and-more-snow/#comments Mon, 29 Dec 2008 15:49:29 +0000 admin http://janetcrosby.com/blog/?p=848 Tractor removing snow © Janet CrosbyHoliday plans changed on a daily basis here, due to lots and lots of snow. This meant that we did not see extended family as planned, so I made a few videos to show our neighborhood snow removal efforts after the road drifted closed with 3-5 foot drifts.

Click here to see the snow videos!

I hope to be back to regular bead production in January. Happy new year! :)

The paper only had two sections that day, due to major power outage downtown the night before that stopped the presses! The Today section was printed before the outage. The “all photos” link in the article has more photos. My ornament is photo #3.
