And So It Begins.......

Here it is my first ever slide show. Not the best I agree and as for the music, well my "repertoire" is to say the least very limited. As for those that know me, and my sizable cd collection, I am referring to the songs I had available on my computer at the time. I made all the items and used these few shots to play. I hope to add more and improve as I go along. To Terri Gauthier who has started her own blog, and has already passed me by with her own slide show, and Nancy VanHoose who I am sure is even now starting what will only be an amazing blog, nice work ladies. I must now make time to actually work on mine.

Mother's Day

What a surprise! Mother's Day was a bit sad, rainy and boring. Today at work these beautiful roses were delivered. My daughter Steph and her boyfriend Pat sent me these, aren't they lovely? Not to mention a small box of chocolates. They are just so pretty. I did receive a lovely hand made brass box from Kimberly and flowers from DH Steven. This was a real nice surprise. Thank You.

Has It been That Long?

Really? I guess I am going to have to make more of an effort here. It is just that I am busy. My youngest graduates High school this year. I had a nice "getaway" weekend at a friends where we worked on our Tea Party altered book project. I also finished my pages for the house book project, and my ATC's. Now I have to do a page in my journal to share and a collage heart for the next exchange. You would think that would be enough, but no I invited a couple friends over to solder tomorrow. Not one to leave well enough alone I also booked us (three of us meeting at my home)all to take a wire wrapping class at the local bead shop. Why? Because I thought it would tie in nicely with the soldering? Who know's I am a little ADD with art. One thing takes me to another and before you know it I am going in ten different directions.Silly really since you cannot do it all. Still there is so much out there I want to try. I was doing the suzi blu journal thing but she hasn't really had anything new, I know, like I need more. Well I do have more time now that my hours were cut. I have applied for other jobs but there doesn't seem to be any and I think, that because I still have a job no one takes me seriously. I am taking Cookie to "puppy socialization" Saturday. She is so timid and needs to get more comfortable with other dogs. I will also get a chance to ask the trainer about Nuala. Seems she has some of her mothers "dominance" issue's. I want to nip that in the bud.

Suzi Blu

Okay I like Suzi. I have participated in her art journal assignments, and love her Vlogs. I have three. Bailey, Nuala, and now Cookie! I used to have Nuala's mom, Butters. However, Butters wanted to be "Queen" of the house, and there can only be one of us..... She had "issues" with being in charge. My lovely daughter took her to "camp" to work with her and thats when a couple of lovely ladies expressed a desire to have a doggie like her. Well in a series of events I could never have planned, Butters decided to leave me and go live with them. There she is the "Queen" and is spoiled rotten. She is lovin' it. I miss her, but to tell the truth I do not miss the fighting between Nuala, Bailey and her. So now we have "Cookie"! She is a "love" child of my handsome Boo (Bailey) and another Yorkie, Bella. Born December 9th, the day after my birthday, she is a sweetie. Bailey looks at me as if to say "is she staying?", "Yes" she is. Nuala he older half-sister (love child of Bailey and Butters) has warmed up to her new playmate. So Suzi, I would tell you to invest in a kennel cab or training cage, it is the easiest way to train a dog, and it is where my puppies all go for their bedtime and naps.... each in their own little home. And scheduled feedings! Thats a biggie. My babies eat at 5:00 am and 5:00 pm, potty about 15 minutes after each meal and after some play. Cookie has caught on and at 12 weeks knows what is expected of her. P.S. I get to see Butters as she lives only a couple blocks from my daughters place. She has a car seat and has a special place by the front window where you can see her when you walk by. She looks happy.
