Another Wonderful Day!

Yesterday my BFF Becky and I were blessed with a day out together. Eating lunch and craft shopping is our favorite 2 things to do together. I am so blessed to have a wonderful person like her to "hang" with.

Lots going on since my last post. Prom is over, YEAH, went well, so very tired from decorating and cleaning up. School is out for the summer! Graduation is past! Now time to prepare for summer camp. I did manage to get more beads done, did some research on the net for recycled crafts, found some reallllly kewl stuff. Here is a pic of one of the progects that inspired me to try something new with all of the magazines my 2 girls still have stored around the house. I will post another pic when it is finished.


Took the baby (Channel) back to the vet yesterday for the last set of puppy shots and rabies. She weighed a whopping 27.4 lbs. I had no clue Labs grew so fast. I did know how big she will be full grown, I just didn't know she would grow so fast the first few months. Here she is today

She has been tired the past few days from shots and her buddy Blue spent the weekend with us.
I was going to post more pics from the yesterday shopping extravaganza but the camera is doing really strange things this morning. It took an hour to get these 2 pics I posted here so I may be shopping for another camera today. I got some really pretty paper yesterday for some new bead designs I saw and am going to try to recreate.
A new friend of mine has a wonderful giveaway on her blog, you should go check it out if you are interested at all in making your own beads. http://justjenndesignz.blogspot.com/

Have a Great Week!

Still Busy

I hope this post finds everyone happy and healthy! So it has been a while since the last post! Boy time flies when you are training a puppy! She has grown so much since my last post, but still acts like a baby. She went from 7.6 lbs in the last pics to 12.5 lbs in the most recent ones here. I thought I would post a pic of her friend, Blue, so this is what we have to look forward too. I just hope she is as well behaved as he is!
He is such a sweet baby, all 95 lbs. of him!

Here is Channel now.



And here she is being spoiled by daddy ON MY COUCH! You can tell more about her size in this one.



Here is an older one for size comparison and trying so hard to be gentle with T-Bone. He is slowly warming up to her when she isn't going full bore.



Still haven't got any more bears done. I need to work up a few more since I sold 2 last week, but crocheting isn't very feasable with a lab that likes to play with yarn. I have been working on some new beads though and will post some pics when I get them sealed. I just got my diamond glaze in the mail yesterday.

What's Up

Been busy and distracted! Well, a lot since my last post. The day of my last post, friday the 13th do doubt, my dog Daisy Mae, yes we are from the south, passed away. Then on Sunday my dear beloved decided to clean out the Koi pond. We didn't realize that our illustrious city water had new additives and we ended up losing 2 of my largest Koi and several other fish including one of the shebunkin babies who was 6 inches long. Needless to say I was not very pleased! My husband is wonderful and tried to make it up to me by getting us a new puppy on the following wednesday. Then, yes there is more, on the following saturday my hamster died. (We are very much animal lovers) Although, my allergy Dr. would probably jump for joy at the news of fewer animals in my home, I was less enthused. Daisy was 11 and had a full life and we enjoyed her very much, she will still be missed greatly even though the new puppy takes up every minute of every day.

So yes, there has been little time for crafting, can't seem to concentrate long enough. Then there are the endless potty breaks between 2 dogs that are not on the same schedule what so ever! The puppy, Chanel, pronounced like the cologne, is doing much better than the 1st day. She is sleeping longer at night, playing by herself more, and has only had 2 accidents in the house which both were probably my fault for not watching the clock. It is very hard to concentrate when you are sleep deprived! But last night, she slept from 9:30 til 3:00 a.m., it was wonderful not getting up every 2 hours. I likes my sleeps! She is a real sweetheart and so far has been very trainable. She was 6 1/2 weeks and 7.6 lbs. when we got her. She is now 9 weeks, don't know the weight but has grown at least 3 inches taller already. So I will leave you with a pic of my current time waster. HaHa




These were taken on 3-21-2009, she has since started losing her baby face and looks more like a lab. What a personality!

Hopefully, the way she is progrssing I should be back to crafting shortly.
