I have been so woefully remiss in introducing the newest member of our family. Desi is our little rescue puppy - he was scheduled to be euthanized and when we heard about it, we knew he was meant to be ours.(And when I say "little", that is a relative term when it comes to Desi.) So we went to a neighboring town to give him a forever home. He’s a husky mix and growing at a rapid rate. He has such a sweet personality and is a real love. So, here’s Desi….
He and Lucy (our Basset Hound) are good buddies. Here’s Lucy…
And here are the two of them together…
And just to prove they can get along…

Wow – I have to apologize. I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve written. Spring has been a difficult time for me personally and obviously it showed in my blogging. Lots of medical issues and personal stuff going on…but that’s over now. In more fun news, we now have two adorable puppies. Last week, I heard through the grapevine about a pup who was hours away from being euthanized. I knew that couldn’t happen, so with very little discussion hubby and I drove to a nearby town and brought home our little ‘rescue’ pup. He’s mostly husky, with some beagle (?) mixed in. He has meshed well with Lucy, due mostly to his laid back personality. He’s very easy going. His name? Well, since we had a Lucy, we had to have a …Desi. Get it? Okay, it makes me laugh at least. And it seems to fit him. We just don’t want any Little Rickys running around here. I’ll work on getting a pic of him posted shortly.
In papercrafting news (about time, right?), it’s been a dry spell for me. But I’m working on changing that. Things are in the pipeline…I’m working on graduation announcements for a friend, I have ideas for card holders floating around, and other items in mind.
First though – I don’t want you to miss this! You know its National Scrapbooking Month, right? In honor of that, Close To My Heart has an awesome special this month and it’s ALMOST GONE! We’re down to about 24% remaining and I know you’re all going to want this!
Please
contact me ASAP to get this fabulous deal!! It’s adorable in person, I promise you.
I’m off to work on getting a pic of Desi as well as creating some fun items – you do the same!

Yes, finally - here is my 2009 planner/calendar/datebook…whatever you call it. I LIVE by my planner every year - its my brain. Truly - even my kids know what it is and that Mom needs it. My sweetie, Tim? He knows if its not in the planner, it ain’t happening. It’s essential to making sure we all get where we’re supposed to be, WHEN we’re supposed to be. Seriously. It’s important.
And I ADORE making my own. I’ve made my own for most of the last few years. 2008 was the exception - I just couldn’t get motivated. And I lived with it for the year, but I was not happy. This year, I’m happy. And creative. And using my planner.
Okay, the planner itself is Close To My Heart’s weekly calendar. Really fun to work with! The cover paper is a previous (no longer available) Heart of Winter Special (and one of my most favorite packs) "Serendipity". LOVE that paper!!
I popped the flower with some 3-D Foam Adhesive.
For each month, I used some of my favorite CTMH papers and the retired E Sized "Friendship Alpha". (There are lots of other E sized alphas currently available - I love the Chocolate alpha too!)
Hope you enjoyed! Let me know if you have questions about anything!
