Sparkle and Shine

This is Eva on her Baptism Day. The layout was done for a Sparkle and Shine challenge issued by my super talented friend Vanessa.

lots to say

but for now I just want to share this photo of baby Eva on Christmas Eve. Isn't she cute? She looks like her aunty Deborah. lol. (I've tried cropping the lamp out, but then I lose her arm chubs. heeheehee)

Sweetness

My niece Evangeliene, and I.

it's like summer

Gorgeous out today in Winnipeg!! Can't remember if it's ever been this nice on Nov 2nd. I'm soooooo happy we took the pups to the park for some much needed excercise and fresh air. They loved every second.

Vote

Be honest....
Am I a mean doggie mama??

he did it again

omg. I can't even tell you what he ate on Saturday. Well, I may tell some of you. heeheehee

any chance he gets

Any chance he gets he steals a pen. Not sure why, but he's addicted! The photo in the post below was taken after he successfully grabbed one off the coffee table (while I thought he was with Joe) and proceeded to chew it up to bits. His mouth was blue too. I thought he was going to die of ink poisoning so I furiously googled 'pen eating dogs'. Turns out a lot of dogs eat pens and all have survived. lol.

Cleo has eaten a 5 lb bag of potatoes, insulation, and fishing weights. That was all before I knew her. She had to get her stomach pumped for the fishing weights.

And as of last week, they have now officially both eaten a button from my scrapbooking stash. Cleo thought it was a Skittle, Josko is just a dumbass.

Has your pooch eaten anything crazy?

so bad, yet soooooo cute!

Hi,
Are you people still coming here?
I'll be back.

sunshine

She is my sunshine.

Here are my (sweet) Backyardigans. They love chillin' in the grass. Lots of label goodness happening in this layout. One of my new faves!! Layout was inspired by Got Sketch #65.

Nicole showed me the goodness of macro. I love it!!! (yup, I'm still learning about my camera). I love the colours and textures in this shot. Actually, I love, love, love this layout! Tomorrow I am going to post a little challenge based on this layout at Love is in the Details.

Here is another recent fave of mine. My poor little Josko was eating whose knows what in the grass and felt a little ill. He was so pathetic looking that I had to snap a picture.

omg. I have no idea why it is sideways. I've tried to change it, but remember I'm a dumbass when it comes to this blog. Can someone help me fix it please??

goof

I think I have the goofiest dog ever. The yellow thing is his Kong Wubba, his new favourite toy. It squeaks. A lot.

LilyBean's Paperie Card Sketch Challenge

he no lika the sprinkler

Josko loves water. Or so we thought. When he looked like this today, we thought we would cool him off in the sprinkler. He wouldn't go near it, so we brought it to him.
Then he hid under the stairs. Sorry bud, we were just trying to help.

you know your beagle is a tad too chubby when....

he has ankle rolls. Poor Josko still hasn't shed his 5 lb winter weight gain. I have been taking him for long walks almost every day but his papa likes to hand out treats like there is no tomorrow. I hope he can loose the chubs before his first GBA meeting or the others might talk behind his back.

field trip

Took the little guy to the Forks today. He doesn't get to leave the neighbourhood a lot, so it's a treat to take him out to sniff new smells, meet new friends and get lots of fresh air.

'sup chubs?

Scrapped with this girl yesterday. Love her!! She is super talented, funny, cute, and best of all she is a fabulous friend! Some of you know her. Her name is Nicole. Don't try to steal her.

I finished this page. The title- that's how Joe greets Josko a lot of the time. Love, love, love the new Sassafras papers!!

And because this is cute...

Yikes!! That took wayyyyyy too long. Hopefully next time will be easier.

Has it really been this long?

So, who reads this anyway?
Leave me a comment and then I'll try and come up with something exciting to entertain you.

so now what

I'm still not done customizing this thingie, but in the mean time, what do you want me to tell you all about?

okay...
Nicole, I think you need to give yourself a mani/pedi tonight. that should distract you.

Vanessa, my fave slurpee is Coke. actually, I'm indulging right now. yum. oh how I wish they made Diet Coke slurpees.

Lisa, you probably don't want to know what I do when I think no one is looking.

see, I'm boring. I can't even expand on these topics. will this get easier?

and I'm back.

Thanks to my talented friend Eva, I have a loverly new blog.
Thank you Eva!!! Your crate of buttons will be delivered shortly.

let's get this party started

so Julie, this is for you.
