Crazy Dog

I did a LO today...my first LO using a template in DIP. It took a little longer than copying from a sketch which is probably why I hadn't done it before.

Let me tell you about Guinness and water. This dog goes absolutely bonkers for water. Anything that sprays, splashes or spits he is right up on it. He will jump 6 feet in the air to catch a splash of water, I swear he's gonna break a leg. Some of the pics are a little fuzzy because I had the camera in movie mode....I wanted to get him in action, only I'm not very good at that yet. I didn't hold the button down long enough so the parts I wanted to get, I didn't get.

I used Alice Naylor's template and Beth Kern's Dirty Denim.

I added some brads of my own using the colors from the kit.

The boys decided to take a late night dip in the pool. Alex thought it was so cool to go in the pool at night.

LO for July 4th!

I made this LO for Digital Divas Designs July Mega Kit Challenge.

I made this LO a while back for a challenge. The site no longer exists, it was very short lived and I don't even remember the name (that's sad). I am posting this now because the designer, Lisa West who made this kit has come back to designing and decided to bring her "Mocha Swirls" kit back to life. I could never really give her the proper credit because she stopped designing for a while to be a teacher....clap clap clap...you've got to be a special kind of person to be a teacher in this day and age. Props to you Lisa.

Here is my LO:

This is Nick at about 6 months. I didn't write the exact date of the photo, and can't remember that far back. I just love these colors.

He is 76 Pounds!!

He's a young man now....

Nick's first time shaving....he did pretty good. No huge gashes on his chin, and look he doesn't have any toilet paper spots stuck to his face anywhere.

I really need to get a separate blog for the pet's; they seem to be invading my blog!

New LO's....'bout time!

Alexander wanted to help me make cookies for our cookie exchange at work. I had to make 6 dozen. We decided to make a simple bar cookie which I thought would go further than a regular cookie and be easier.....well it was easy to make it just wasn't easy to find the main ingredient; Nestle's New Raspberry Swirl chocolate chips; very hard to find.

Christmas Morning: Showing off one of his many presents from Santa. So far we have played this game once; Nick Scenes at least once, the many sets such as Lego, Pirates....etc...and the millions of parts that go along with it.

I've made the plunge!

Ok, I switched to the new Blogger Beta. So far so good. The header is actually visible now, so that's a good thing.

That's it, short and sweet. Oh, and I was able to add more links to the right. Before it was a long process because I could never remember how I did it the first time and had to go back and read...blah, blah, blah.

Merry Christmas

Finally...

The photo's of us are few and far between; especially of me, I am usually the one with the camera. The was taken a couple of months after Jason and I started dating. Our first Christmas together. We were both a lot thinner then. I still have this dress; but I will never be able to breathe, let alone zip it up!
