Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday week. We had a
quiet Christmas day but celebrated with family the following weekend. We are
all so spread out its hard to get everyone free on the same day. Here’s a
picture of my family minus one son-in-law who was home sick.
There were also seven…yes seven, dogs
roaming around so if they walked into the photo, they were in the photo. They
were all rescue dogs that my daughters and granddaughter saved from being
culled. One of them was a poor old girl who was found in the streets, abandoned
by her owners when she got old......grrr curses to them. My daughter and hubby adopted her and she will
know nothing but love until the end. They even bought a dog inhaler for her and
give her a few puffs a day so she can breathe easier. Here she is getting a
dose.
Hubby loved one of my granddaughter’s
dogs and Hershey seemed to like Joe too.
Overall it was a wonderful visit with
everyone. I made quilts for three of them but I’ll post those later. Unfortunately
Joe and I are not completely over our colds. In fact, I have quite the sore
throat and not much of a voice today. Hopefully after a couple days rest and it
will finally leave.
My granddaughter and fiancée just bought their
first house so I made them a card to go along with their house warming present.
I
die cut the house and removed the other houses on the strip as their house is
in a very small town…village actually I think…on a half acre lot so no house
sits right beside theirs. It was die cut in off-white cardstock and then I
sponged some light brown on their house…green on the tree. They also have a lot
of trees so I die cut some extra ones and added them in. They have three rescue
dogs so I die cut three different dogs and placed them in the yard. Of course
the yard had to be fenced so I die cut the fence and gate as well. One dog, the
husky, is a bit of an escape artist so that’s him checking to see if he can
squeeze through the gate. Then I stamped
the sentiment and die cut out the curved banner that matches the stamps. She
loved it…especially because I was able to fit the three dogs in.
That’s all for a damp and cloudy Wednesday,
January 2, 2019. I’ll be back on Friday with another card.
Cheers
Violet
