Conroe artist visits the White House
Here's a nice story about a local artist whose Christmas ornaments were chosen to hang on a tree in the White House:
Out of the 500 ornaments decorated by artists across the nation, 350 were chosen for the tree. Both of Carter's made the cut. She, along with her two daughters, headed to D.C.
The first thing Carter got to do at the White House was chat briefly with Laura Bush.
"She is absolutely beautiful and very, very gracious," Carter said. "I felt sorry for her standing in the receiving line that long, talking to all those people. But when you see her, she concentrates on you and makes you feel very special."
From there, Carter and over 300 fellow artists moved into the Blue Room to see the tree.
"Luckily, there was a book there to help you locate your ornament, because the Blue Room tree is 18 feet tall," Carter said. "But mine were hung low enough that I found them and was able to take pictures of them."
It would have been great to see this story in the "star" section, instead of the regional "This Week" section.
