Christmas is early !

Christmas came early this year! Dawn found a puppy for sale in Oregon. Having looked at 2000 pit bulls.... Now that isn't bad, just a pretty powerful dog for Al and I at our age. So we were told that the tiny puppy is a Catahoula and Aussie mix. I got pictures of the parents and it is Aussie. The Catahoula part is questionable. It is way too small. Zoeie was 78 pounds. Big dog. Oh well, I agreed to buy the puppy. Had to drive to Reno to pick her up. Johnathon and his wife, Danielle agreed to deliver her halfway from Grants Pass! How absolutely nice! Fell in love in a nano second. She chews, claws, bites, and keeps us up at night ... Its been ten years, but who cares she has the cutest little personality!

Our son Doug came to see  us too. That was a real treat as  he lives in Washington State.

 

Tiny Lucy Lou is tired. Puppy 'pass out'' tired. And, Lucy is a good little traveler! She slept almost all the way home!

Got home yesterday, and today she got her first bath.

This is Lucy Lou two months old today. She is about 5 pounds. She jumped on the couch already! Oh Oh, no pictures of that!   Thanks for looking! Mary 

 

This is a Catahoula!

 

 

      

Wednesday

I was so excited I started posting pictures! Woo hoo two posts in one day. We are going to be gone this weekend so best to get some extra inspiration now! Did these cards last summer. The stamp in a Stampendous stamp called winter birds.

This next images were done with one of Stamperia's beautiful paper packs. This one is red and green. Yesterday I finished 7 cards with Stamperias Blue land collection. 

 

Thanks for looking!

Wednesday Wednesday!

Yesterday we shared some of Emily's Christmas cards. Today I have a few Emily made, and a few of my random images! Have fun looking.

                               Memory Box  background die

The circle die is from Ali Express. The lower image shows the inside of the card. The candy canes might be from La La Land.

 

                   The Memory Box 'Merry Christmas' background  die, and I think the 'lamb' is from Ali Express

 

Having some 'technical' owner/operator, ha, difficulty so, I will move to the next page!

Thanks for looking,

Two Weeks to go!!

Today I will share a couple 'posts' with you! I have been working, working, but then, as you will see, so has my good friend Emily! The cards are made with a Karen Burniston pop- up die. This is a link to a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btEBxOyzUB0
Maybe you can copy and paste this in your browser. For now just enjoy some of Emilys designs! 

Look at all the 'little dies' like the deer, tree, jingle bells & poinsettia!

The pop-up comes with the 'banner die' . So tiny. She used small punches too!

The folded tag front.

 

The next post is some more of Emilys designs and a couple of mine

Thanks for looking!

First Monday

Christmas is only 22 days from now, yes, 22 days to bake, shop, cook, clean, wrap and mail your cards! Woo Ho!  My cards are done and I will share those later. For now, I would like to share some of the cards I made this Summer. This is the Peeking Santa stamp and die set from Gerda Steiner designs.
