Passing of a friend

Yesterday we spent the day, about 3hours away, at a Celebration of Life for a dear friend of DH. was verry strange to try celebrate her life when she is sooo missed, but the event went nicely. sooo many people, from so many different walks of life were there, she sure had ALOT of passions and was into soo many different things.
she was into stained glass, celtic & folk music, was a library volunteer, had a scrabble club, story telling club, had a girls poker club, worked at LA Times, ran her own almond business... oh i am sure i am leaving SOMETHING out lol
i do think i will try to design a kit in her honor :)
Chris, my friend, you are missed!!!

Coco's first vet vist!

oh it went soo well! he weighs 4.5 lbs lol and got his first shot like a trooper, and is A OK with his exam! they loved his little face so much, the vet tech took him in the back for the others to see lol...we took him to the swapmeet, for an hour before his appt and quite a few there wanted to take him home lol...we did see one of our regular vendors, who just so happened to have a sturdy, almost brand new dog carrier and he was so taken with his funny little face, he just gave it to us :) :)
how cool is that? that is what this planet is all about, in my eyes, loving and helping each other!
Anyway, after his appt. DH brought us home and Coco slept for hours lol what an experience he had! tuckered him right out lol
DH picked up his car rental and went to that car show. he was soo excited lol...we got a rental for the weekend becuz of going to the will reading and celebration of life gathering, tomorrow. first time for me, gonna be strange.

Another preview

this is my latest. will probably be a prize for SDK since i dont sell anymore..... YET.

Time off!

no, i dont need time off, but DH got laid off. hopefully its only for a week or so and he can treat it as a vacation! we do have things coming up, now he wont have to take off lol... always try to look on the bright side of things :)
here is a preview of a prize for one of my challenges at SDK for february. i look forward to seeing you there ;)

Coco's got an appt lol

i called the vet this morning and luckily enough, they had a saturday morning opening! so Coco gets his first shots and the vet gets to meet our new baby lol
glad to have that taken care of... puppy shots are important! i look forward to seeing how much this munchkin weighs lol

whew! puppies!

Well, we've had Coco for a week now and hopefully we can get him to the vet on Sat. before DH goes to Los Angeles for that car show. Whew!! until that little guy is house trained and a little more familiar around here AND maybe bigger, stronger, older, i hardly have anytime to create or play or ANYTHING but watch him! lol oh and what a joy he has been!! a true delight! he gets along with ALL the others, except Bella (my girl cat) but she dont like ANYone else but mom, tolerates DH & DS lol.
DH is doing good and feeling better, i am soo glad!
its still been downright COLD around here and WINDY like all heck!
C'mon SPRING! lol

my calendar is almost done, i want to embellish a bit more. here's a preview

i may have to edit a month or two to include Coco, not sure yet :)

Speaking of jars

well since i gave away the candy jar, here's a jar of buttons :) there's no download link YET until next week, when things will be easier to do! i want to give credit where credit is due and thank Kirsten Smit at Kirky's Kreations for this awesome idea! Her last daily download was a button or brad a day but no jar so here's my buttons and a jar to put them in lol
