~ New Addition to Our Family ~






~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

We have been blessed with this adorable 5 month old apricot Poodle puppy. She is so sweet and a bit mischievious......lol....she's just so curious! She's our little Pisces pup....sweet, loving, and does not like being alone. We named her Bella.

We already have a Chihuahua named Nugget (short for "Chicken Nugget"....lol). She will be 9 in October.....our secretive, loner Scorpio darling.

Bella gets along well with Nugget and with my daughter Rachel's new puppy, Wilson.....as a matter of fact, Bella and Wilson run and play and bark at each other.....it's TOO cute! Wilson is a Brussells Griffon. Nugget is a bit too old for all of that activity...lol....and she's not real fond of Wilson right now. He's way too rowdy for her (Nugget).....but Nugget is the most timid, loving Chihuahua ever born; she's pretty accepting of this little rammy fella although she does what she can to ignore him....lol

You'll be seeing scrapbook pages with these 4-legged darlings in the future. ;-)
OH!!! And the "big guy" napping in the chair with Nugget and Bella ....... that's my husband. They are "nap partners" and all 3 of them are pretty darn spoiled!!! :-)

A Scrapping Addict's "Dream-Come-True"

I am hooked on scrapbooking and always looking for a GREAT deal...... Close To My Heart's scrapping/card making supplies annuual clearance helped me add a ton of embellishing supplies to my Scrapping Den pantry.
I couldn't pass up the UNBELIEVABLE PRICES......
When the UPS man blesses my front door with 12 lbs of goodies that I ordered, I will share a picture of the new arrival cache.
~~ I AM SO EXCITED...LIKE A KID ON CHRISTMAS EVE ~~
