RIP Buddyman

My little man tried to play with a tractor yesterday and lost. He had to much damage to be saved and had to go to puppy dog heaven. I am so sad and will miss him terribly! I love you Buddy!!!!

We are getting a puppy!

Kelly has been on a puppy kick for a couple days and I told him this morning that I want to wait until he is home for good before we get another animal. But things tend to happen for a reason and it just so happens that the adoption fell thru on this little girl and she was meant to be ours. She is a 10 week old Australian Shephard/Australian Cattledog mix. My favortite kind!!!! I pick her up in the morning. I am so excited!!!!!

Things are looking up!

It has been a crazy few months and I am glad to say things are getting better. I have been so bad about staying up on everything but I am hoping to get back into the swing of things.

We went to CA for springbreak and had a quick but nice visit. It never lasts long enough but it's wonderful to get back home. My dog had to be put down when we got home and I brought him home to bury him in our yard. That was one of the tuffiest things I have ever had to do. I miss him terribly! Kelly was home for 21 days but with our nephews graduation down in southern CA we didn't really get all that much time with him and that is a whole other story. Both Augie and I have had bronchitis. A friend of ours little boy was in the hospital with pneumonia so I helped her out with her other 2 boys. My laptop had to go in for repairs and I just got it back today! Woohoo!!!!

On a good note Kelly is coming home from Iraq for good. Granted he will be working and living in Casper, Wyoming but it's only 10 hours away and not 8000 miles away.We are really excited to be able to see him more and have more family time!

I will update with photos soon! I promise!

Don't fall over but.....

I actually scrapped for the first time since October! Woohoo! Sorry the photos are not the best but I will replace them when I can. We had crazy wind the day I took these photos and i was fighting the wind trying to keep them straight. I just didn't want to wait to share! =D

New Inspiration

I have been searching for a color for the longest time for the Scraproom/Office and finally found what I wanted. It is called "Ironhorse". It looks even better on the wall than the swatch. It has a blue, a lavender, a grey depending on how the light catches it....I couldn't ask for better. I wish I would have painted the Master Bedroom this color! LOL!!!!! Are we ever satisfied?

Ornaments

I had seen an ornament awhile back before I found out who I had for an ornament exchange at Scrapfreak. Then when I went to go get it I could never find it. So i was blog hopping one day and i came across these fabulous ornaments on Leslie Ashe's blog. She is so talented and I often find inspiration from her. So she had these adorable ornaments done with buttons and I realized that would be so super neat. I made 2; 1 for my freaky friend and one for Augie's bus driver cause she is such a fabulous person and friend. I can't wait to do more of these, I have so many ideas rolling around in my head. Thank you Miss Leslie Ashe!!!!!!
