New Cutting Cafe card and more puppy photos

Don't forget to enter my blog candy HERE!!

Hi all!! It has been a pretty awesome Sunday!! We went to Traverse City to show my oldest daughter Brittany our new puppy--while we were there we went to PetSmart and bought our new little Max a crate for when we are away, and some other necessities. This little sweater my Chelsie had to buy for him while we were there! Too bad he does not like it one bit to put it on him, cuz he just shivers going out to go potty-it is so cold here lately!! He was a little nervous about riding in the car at first, but did settle down and even slept part of the way! He is such a good boy-he is very cuddly--and already doing an awesome job at potty training too!!

















I also wanted to show you a card I made today using the newest set from the very talented Regina over at The Cutting Cafe-this set is called: Beautiful Flowers-colored printable stamp set. This stamp set is so awesome--I have used only a few of the items included in the set...there is so much more!!!
Thanks for stopping by!

OUR NEW ADDITION-MAX

My daughter has been begging us for a puppy for a couple of months now...We have finally gave it a second thought, and we bought one last night!! He is SO adorable!! He is a Yorkie and Pomeranian mix and is 8 weeks old. Wanna see him? Here is a pic of my daughter Emily holding him-it is a little blurry-I will get many more pics though!! She has named him Max--I liked Teddy-but Emily liked Max-so Max it is!

Don't forget to enter my blog candy--at this time there needs to be only two more commenters to add another item!!

Emily's Crafty project/and SF Thank you card

Need ideas for some crafty projects for the kids to do? I found this website with some nifty ideas- so today my Emily (7 years old) has made a piggy for her Dad for Valentines day.

She has also made a Thank You for a Christmas present she received--a gorgeous music box--so we found an excellent set of images-it has 5 images with it and is called Ballerina Music Box on Squigglefly, and this is the card she made with very little help from me! Emily insisted on taking the pictures too!

Thanks for stopping by!
