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

http://themethursday.wordpress.com

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

http://www.tentwostudios.com

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!

COWBOY BOOTS, BUNNY GIRL, AND PURPLE BEAUTIES!

Thanks to Joanna and Cat for the nice words you left

the other day .. you are sweet people!

Here are my new cowboy boots

as props to make Riley look good while he naps!

Here is my Easter Moo card for

We've been having way too many April showers..

but.. in response to all the grey rainy days,

here is the first of the flowers in my garden to blossom for this year!

Yay!

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...

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

www.tentwostudios

using the delicious spring time colors and designs.

GREY ON TEAL AND SPRING TIME FAE

The boy looks pretty handsome on the teal color

of my new sheets!

Here is my entry for

The theme is Hello Spring... and I've been working on

a couple of Spring girls for my domino pendants.. here's the first..

RILEY SO FRESH! MERMAIDS AND JOANNA'S HANDIWORK!

I caught Riley in this compromising position!!!

Here are some digital 2x4's I've been working on for my domino

jewelry...

Here are pictures of the Pay it Forward goodies that

Joanna from

http://fiddlesnips.blogspot.com

made for me. I have to say getting these in my box made for one

of the best mail days ever!!!

The first is my name done on scrabble tiles highlighting each letter of

Deirdre.

I love it!

The second is a beautiful postcard, the soft subdued colors are so

perfect and the quote is lovely as well.

The pictures don't quite do them justice but you can get an idea..

Beautiful work from a sweet blog friend.

Thanks Joanna!!
