CURLY-Q TONGUE, SPRING DOLL JOURNAL AND 3 FOR LUNCH

Have I mentioned I love pictures of Riley that show his

bottom lip or his tongue sticking out..

well I do.. even if they make him look a little crazy..

This is a Spring journal book I made for


The theme is vintage .. I used a vintage paper doll with wings and long legs from


When the book is lined up closed the doll comes together and then you can

flip the pages to use as a journal and they show the seperate parts

of the doll. Fun!



Last page on the inside..
another inside page..


This is what I saw through my window when looking to see

if any birds had shown up for lunch in the bird

cup feeders!

THE BIG BEAR

How do you know when it's time ...

We let Bear go this afternoon..

My head tells me it was time because he didn't really have anything

left that gave him any joy..

but my heart hurts for the decision I made..

I miss him..

We named him Little Bear after the cartoon that my

kids loved when they were little.. but he got way too big for his name and

he turned into Big Bear.

Terrorizing teenagers, meter readers, ground hogs and mail people for many years.

He took joy in all that.

I think he had a good 15 years for the most part..

I really miss him.. I wish that wishing would have made him young again...

VIEW FROM BELOW AND VINTAGE TEXT MOO

This was Riley with his head and paws hanging off the edge of the bed

looking out the bedroom window.. sweet grey boy..

This is a Moo card I made for the newly re-opened Moo

challenge blog! The theme is

vintage text..


TONGUE, SPRING FAE AND SEED PACKETS!

This one is a little blurry.. but I just can't resist a picture of

Riley that shows him sticking out his tongue!! Love it!!!

I have to admit I have been concentrating on digital

work for my domino pendants because I had a lull in my sales at my Ebay store, but

I've managed to create a bunch of new designs and things have picked back up

so I should be able to create some

more paper stuff for fun again now.. Looking forward to it!

In the meantime, this is one of my newest digital spring fae!

These are seed packets I made for


using the delicious spring time colors and designs.
