  Thanks, Patricia, Susan and Stephen! There were a lot of jokes last night as we were editing Martha stories.

Check out
this site
to see contest results where folks used Photoshop to decorate Martha's jail cell. Some pretty creative and funny stuff!

  This is too funny! You captured it perfectly. Maybe you should send Martha a copy for her "records."

  Cathy, Kristen, Carolyn, Joy, Bill, Jason, Susan, Murry, Colette, Carol, Evy, Julie, Darren and Susan, thank you all so very much!

I'm not so sure this will be among the finalists, and if not, that's OK with me. Your comments mean a lot!

Don't think Martha would appreciate a copy of this for her records. LOL! :-)

Someone told me that one of the tabloids had the funniest lead on this story: "It's curtains for Martha!" LOL!

  Oh, thank you so much, Margaret! That's very kind of you. This image combines two favorite things for me: dogs (especially Goldens) and newspapers (my profession). :-)

  Great shot, Patricia! Very funny, and most appealing too!!! PS I miss Martha's tv show, no matter her guilt/innocence...! (It was funny too)

Patricia Marroquin
  Thanks, Jean. I've gotta admit that I miss her show too. It's humorous because it's so hard to believe one person can be that talented. I'm in awe. I love to watch people create things that I could never do myself. That's the appeal of her show. :-)

Patricia Marroquin
  Hi, Jean, Kasia, Kath, K, Margaret, Claudia and Susan. Thank you!

Although I set this shot up, Bixby really does retrieve the newspaper each day. The Star is easy for him to bring in; but the Los Angeles Times can sometimes be a challenge, and he definitely can't get the whole Sunday Times in his mouth! LOL!

Margaret, that is such a compliment, thank you very much!

  Thank you, Carol, Colette, Stephen, Murry, Bill and Dale!

Carol, I'm an enabler -- I give tubby Bixby more treats than I should, much to my husband's dismay. So he gets rewarded every day. :-)
