He's a Big Boy Now

This little guy is now being left alone loose within the house. No more kennel. So far there have only been a few mishaps. I wish I could watch him to see what he really does when we aren't home.

look at the hair on this chicky!!

yes, this precious little babe does still look like me as a baby. but I was a baldy.

LilyBean's Paperie Inspiration Challenge

There is only one place to go for card inspiration. That place is LilyBean's Paperie.
Melissa Phillips creates the most gorgeous cards I have ever seen!! I really didn't like making cards until I discovered her blog. Now I'm hooked. I made this card for a challenge on her blog. The inspiration (and the prize!!) is this bag.

This afternoon

This is my sweet friend Jocie and the newest little member of her family, Jadie. Nicole, Vanessa and I went today to meet Jadie for the first time. She is even more precious in real life than in the photos we have seen!

Jocie lives just a few minutes away from me but (funny how this goes) we met online. She is one of the good ones. Genuine, and trustworthy. A true friend, a super artist, and a fabulous mom of 3 beauties! This tiny one made me almost want to have one of my own. I said almost. Would a brand new puppy qualify me for mat. leave?
