Secret Santa Swap

Jennie organized a really fun Designer Secret Santa Swap this year to make a chipboard album, a card, an ornament and a tag in time for Christmas. I used a lot of Basic Grey papers on my album, tag and ornament and the card was featured in an earlier post .

Here's the same picture showing the back of the ornament. It's the fist time I've ever made one and I was a bit at a loss so kept it simple and decorated the Basic Grey ornament template with rhinestones on one side and cut out some some Christmas DP and rub ons for the other.

My Secret Santa was Novell and I got an absolutely stunning album and gifts from her! Check them out on her blog.

    Puppies!

    I know, I haven't posted in ages and here's why... we got these furry kids a few weeks ago and they've taken over our lives. I'm running on just a few hours of sleep a night and the whole day is dedicated to housebreaking, feeding, spending time with them etc but with cute paws and faces like this make it worth it.

    This sweet and super energetic girl is Mia. She's a Dane and is growing by the minute. I wanted to get a Dane for a really long time and she's mommy's "little" girl. Soon after we found Mia, Pete found this fluffy teddy bear Dex in a shelter's foster home and our household doubled.
