Madison Deets...

1. She was considered not adoptable.
2. Was a stray found wondering the streets of Watertown SD
3. Adopted from the Watertown Area Humane Society
4. Had Fleas...ugh, that alone made me think twice!!!!
5. Had skin issues...turns out to be allergies, got rid of the fleas and used Vet recommended allergy shampoo and her fur is coming back in.  He issues have mostly resolved in this area.
6. Her back was injured from escaping under a fence...so they thought.
7. She was protective of the people who took care of her at the humane society and they considered her to be a tad aggressive.  
8. Her name arrived from the fact she was found wondering the streets and Mom is a fashionesta.  
9. She loves the girls.
10. She is loving and enjoys cuddling with Mom and sleeping on the bed.
11. Madison enjoys going for car rides.
12. She loves her big brother Bear, it is so fun to watch them play ring around Jessica's playhouse.
13. She cries at the door when Jesse leaves for work
14. As Jesse arrives home her legs turn into springs and she proceeds to jump up and down all over him  until he plays with her.
15. Madison sucks on her blue blanket for comfort, I find this sad yet cute.  She must miss her Mama and this is how she figured out to calm herself she pretty much goes into a trance doing this.
16. Madison is part Terrier and unknown breeds.  Mutty Maddie (just one of her nicknames). Blanket Sucker is another...I know, I know I crack myself up;)
17. She is very loving and was easy to spoil, she fits right in with our family.

Happy Stamp Day.  God Bless.

12 Months of Cooper

This is a gift I have been working on for my Sister the new Grandma, LOL! (I should not laugh so hard that makes me a GREAT Aunt again.) Anyhow I made a 2010 calendar for her that she can put up at work every month she will have a new pic of cooper to display.

Below you see January and February...


Product list...

Cricut Designers Calendar cartridge
PTI Fresh Alphabet, fresh snow ink
SU ribbon and card stock

The calendar grid is cut at 4" perfect fit for the PTI Fresh Alpha set.
The Months are cut at 2"
Photo mats measure around 4" by 5"
By keeping all the cuts standard and the embellishments simple this came together really quickly. When the year is over she will have 6 completed scrapbook pages ready to go into her album.

April PTI Blog Hop...Let's Play!

DH and I enjoy playing cards with friends our favorite game is Spades. One night a few years ago DH was still a heavy smoker and stepped out for a smoke break. We stacked the deck to give him the optimal run the deck hand. He comes back in looks at his cards pats them into a stack and says "LET's Play". LOL, we let him take his run then told him when he was done that he had some help with it, still laugh thinking about it. Anyhow this take along tote is perfect for game nights it holds a pen, notepad, deck of cards and a nutty treat. If you score 3/4" twice on each since you get a perfect pocket for the small PTI Glassine Bags full of nuts. Perfect way to tote along a nice set of cards the kids have not found and used ;)

Wise Owl and Little Lady go to Hawaii

{Jen} is hosting the CMWC over on PTI this week, you can find the challenge {here}. Her challenge is to use a stamp in a way that is not intended. So I was wishing my PTI order came in on Wed but alas it did not so plan b was to use Little Lady and make a dress and shoes for Wise Owl. This is what I came up with...



The large lady bug body I traced onto the Raspberry Fizz DP and cut out. At first I wanted to use the bumps as (well you know) but then wise owl was out of proportion so I just cut a straight line. The small lady bug body was stamped off with Raspberry Fizz ink then cut in half to make the slip on shoes for wise owl. I think she is cute and I would love to be her right now. The card will be headed to my college roomie by the way her name is Leilani and in Hawaiian her name means Heavenly Child.

Hoaloha in Hawaiian translates to Friend so the card reads...Friend, a happy life is made of little things.
