OUR LITTLE SPANKY

SPANKY 

2000 ~ 2012

The last few days have been very sad...

Our pug, Spanky, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Saturday.

He was a beloved member of our family, and we miss him so much.

I know all of you that are pet lovers know how I feel.

Give your furry kids an extra hug for Spanky

ONE OF MY PASSIONS IS...

ONE OF MY PASSIONS IS........ Helping Feral Cats!

I help online with a feral cat TNR program in western Iowa - Western Iowa's Feral Cat program - WIFCaP. My sister lives there and does almost all of the actual, boots on the ground, work. I help out with our FaceBook page, and our Etsy shop! I've learned so much about this subject, and it is a BIG problem all over the country...no, all over the world! We have made quite an impact in the 6 months since we started, and its so fulfilling to know we are making a difference, not only in the lives of the kitties, but the lives of the communities they live in.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I want to say HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all of you!  I say "Merry Christmas", where you may say "Happy Hannukah" or "Happy Kwanza", or a different wish altogether!  Whichever it is, it is all meant in the same way...Be Happy and Be Thankful!

I've also been thinking about my blog and my Facebook page.  I really want to do more with them, and make them more fun and interesting.  I have a few thoughts, but nothing concrete.  I'd love your help!

What would you like to see me do on this blog?  Any comments would be so appreciated!

Again...MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Introducing....ZIPPYS!

A BUNCH OF ZIPPYS!

I haven't created anything new for awhile, and it began to drive me crazy!
I had always been interested in trying a zipper bag, so....I did!
I googled "How to make a zipper bag", and found lots of great tutorials.  I read thru many of them, taking mental notes, and adjusted them to create what I wanted to end up with.
My first one was OK, but I could see many things I needed to do differently.  After a couple more, I finally figured out the steps to a cute zipper bag, lined, with pretty beads and buttons!
So now I'm having a ton of fun....using my designer fabric scraps, bits of lace, rick-rack, and ribbon, and digging thru my big button collection for "just the right one".

AND THE WINNER IS...

First of all...thank you so much to all of you for playing my little hide & seek game!  It was fun for me, too!

I assigned a number in order to each of you that played and found the picture of Zach and Ben.  I just had my random number picker (my husband!) pick a number, and the winner is....
Linda Armenti!
I will be sending an email to Linda letting her know how to redeem her $20 prize!

Again....THANK YOU!!

BLOG HOP PARTY IS ON!

These two cuties are my grandsons, Zach and Ben.  I love showing them off!
