I am posting this in a hurry and I promise to add more but here is just one of the pictures I took this past week at Navarre Beach!!
Tornados, Floods, and Snow!
This past weekend brought us some interesting weather in Alabama. First we started with tornados on Friday. I have been sick for several days and didn't go to work on Friday. I am sure if Gracie could talk she would be very thankful for my illness (she HATES thunder) and was happy I was at home when the sirens when off (twice). So after 4 and 1/2 inches of rain in Tuscaloosa, my yard flooded! Usually with large amounts of rain the yard does this and drains off very fast but not this time. The water was still there Saturday morning!
During the day on Saturday it was pretty good weather, then when we woke up Sunday morning we had about an inch of snow!! March 1st and snow on the ground! I LOVE Alabama weather! And the best part was the snow didn't stop. We ended up with over 3 inches of snow Sunday morning!
Our first trip out at 6:00 a.m.
My street!
Buddy Fat Pants (aka Tank) was visiting! He and Gracie had a GREAT time in the snow!
Students on campus made snowmen!
Ah! Denny Chimes!
My house and all the snow!

Mom's First Flea Market
My Mom and Dad have started a new venture in their lives and it is call Bad Apple Frames..... http://www.badappleframes.com/ (the site will be up and running soon)! My Dad makes the frames and the crafty Linda Kay paints them. This weekend we (being Mom, Carrie Beth and myself) went to Memphis to a flea market and tried selling them to the public for the first time. Although the flea market is not where we need to try again (crazy crowd), Mom was still able to do pretty well for a first-timer! Here are some pictures from this weekend and ordering info is below them!
So, BAD APPLE FRAMES is now open for business! If you see anything you like on here feel free to message me at katiecashion@gmail.com! Like I said the website will be up and running very soon but until then we are taking order over the phone or through email. These are GREAT gifts for baby showers, wedding showers or birthdays. Each frame comes with the stuff to hang them too and we will mail them for an additional fee! Also if you know of any arts and crafts show that we need to attend please let me know!! And I can't forget to say......GREAT JOB MOM (and Dad)!

Yard Work 101....
Now that the inside of the house is pretty much done, all efforts have been put on the yard. This past weekend, Mom and Dad came to Tuscaloosa and helped me with my very large yard (over half an acre of just yard). To sum it up: 3 trees were taken out (one was just half a tree but was larger than the other 2 combined), all shrubs are gone, all leaves were bagged up, the funky plants around the deck were dug up, and one light/exhaust fan in the bathroom was installed (not part of the yard but it was on the "to-do" list). Then 5 new trees were planted in the back and the planning is now on for landscaping everywhere else! Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure:
It is kinda bare but there are big plans ahead!
I am bleaching the green off this weekend!
THE BACK VIEW
Where the half tree was! I really wish I had a before photo!
Dad would dig.....
....and I would plant!
What was left for the garbage people!
I will keep everyone updated with new photos as I get more plants in the ground!!
Finishing touches!
Over my long break from work (and a very successful surgery), I got a lot accomplished around the house. I finally bought a rug for the living room, hung some new pictures, and got new things for the dining room. Also after 6 months, I finally opened up the paint cans and did some touch up work on places that needed it!
New rug (and I don't think I ever posted a picture of the new furniture)

Steal of the Week. I got these two vases for next to nothing at Hancock Fabrics.
I finally got my table decorated! These are my old placemats and napkins that I would like to replace, but they will work for now. I am just waiting till I find something I love. 
And after 6 months of sitting in the corner, I got the piece of metal up on the side of my cabinet. It ended up looking better than I thought!!
I will post more about these frames later but this might be my parents new business! Dad makes the frames and Mom paints them! They are too cute!
