Here are a couple of sneak peeks from the CD

Four-Legged Granddaughter!

This is our daughter's dog Cassie.  She is 3 years old and my husband just adores her.  I do too put he'd love to keep her!  My daughter got Cassie while she lived in Spain so she's a well travelled dog.  Both our two-legged and four-legged granddaughters have been staying with us this weekend.  Caitlin's not too keen on getting her photo taken - she's just at that age - but here's Cassie enjoying a treat.  We gave Cassie a shower this morning and she just stood there while George held her and I scrubbed!  She then had a jolly good shake but took off like a rocket when I produced the hairdryer!

Busy Little Girl

Sorry I've not been around this week but I've got a temporary job until the end of April and I've just not had time to blog.  However I did all my housework yesterday and like the little lady in the picture I also got to the bottom of the ironing basket too.  It's such a miserable day today that I've spent it in my craft room and have got cards to schedule for the rest of the week. xx

Bestest Friend Birthday

  

  

This set is for one of my best friends whom I've known for over 40 years!!!  I bought her a Swarovski pen with floating crystals in the barrel and was going to buy notelets to compliment it but then I though 'I could make some myself' and this is how it turned out, and even though I say it myself, I'm really pleased with the final product.
