Mail Call!! {Thank you, Anita and Kelly!}

I also got a package recently from the amazing gals (and pups) over at Rhinestone Beagle.  A short while back we all got to celebrate their 100 follower milestone and I was the lucky winner of their incredible giveaway. 

Just look at the amazing package I got to open!  (apologizes for the bad lighting, but I was so excited to dig in)

Swoon!!  Notions and fabric, and buttons, and yarn goodies, a squishy owl, and handmade cards, and ricrac, and the coolest lion on a bag with an amazing quote EVER!  I'm feeling totally spoiled!!

Katie and Sammy even shared in the fun with awesome dog jerkies from Sadie, Mr. Biscuit, and Gidget.  They say a huge THANKYOU nom nom nom!!!  Here they are smiling for a treat.

I have to laugh at how serious Sammy gets when anything food is involved.

Here is a better shot of the front of the bag. 

I got to pick out my own animal to personalize the bag... and picked a lion.  And it's incredible and regal!!  And that quote just makes everyone smile! 

It reads, "In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous. --Aristotle"

SWOON!!

Oh, look what got packed into the bag?  Is that X Marks the Spot all finished and fresh from the dryer?  And where might that lovely be off to?  A quilting guild meeting?  Oh maybe?!

Looks good in there, doesn't it?  The handles were the perfect length for a large quilt too!!  And I got so many compliments at the meeting on my now quilt bag!!

And?  Guess what?  I will also have the pleasure of teaming up with these amazing ladies (and their pups) for a Spooktacular Craftathon in October.  Awesome right?  I'll let you know more when I have a date for my guest post :)

Ok, and yes, I will even show you the latest finish, Ms. X Marks the Spot..... tomorrow.

Sweet dreams!

Balance is Key

Between all this snow and work... balance is a must!  Not really, but I needed an excuse to post these cutie patutie pictures of Katie with treats on her nose.


Enjoy!

Loving on the doggie = happiness!

That dog

Just a quick post this morning.  The pictures will do all the talking.  This is probably my favorite happy subject.  


Here she's laughing at me, "Ha! Mom, not the camera again"

"Wha?  What's over there?"

"Make sure you get me from my left side, here's my Zoolander face"

"Argg... are you still there with that camera?"

"Don't I look like an angel?  I can do a soft face.  Seeee..."

"Mom, really.  Are you done yet?"

"If I hold a treat on my nose can we call it even and you will put the camera down?"

"Hey!  Thought we had a deal?  Mom, your so silly.  I love ya!"

Yup, pup... you are an integral part of the Happy house!  I love you too!
