Buddy - Holly

Many of you know "Holly", our sweet dog.  She is 12 1/2 years old now and she is still our #1 little love puppy.

I want to introduce you to "Buddy", the newest little addition to our family.

 

Buddy is a rescue dog from 4 Paws here in Louisiana.  Isn't he the cutest little guy!?!   He is about 1 1/2 years old and is a "snorkie".  If you aren't familiar with that "breed", that is a yorkie and schnauzer mix. He mostly solid black except for a little tan color on his face and paws.

We were not looking to adopt right now but when you meet the right dog, how can you not add them to your family?   Buddy came home with us yesterday and got his vet check-up today.  He got a clean bill of health but has to go back for his "operation" next week.

So far, the team of "Buddy - Holly" is doing okay.   Not any great tension between them.   That's a good thing!  

 

Ornament Card ...

I think this is a simple yet cute card.   It looks like it took more effort to make than it really does.    Just takes 5 punched circles to make the ornament.   This may be  my Christmas cards this year!?!?

What a super simple and sweet card this one is!?

I cut a corner from a piece of printed Prima paper and used it for my card front.    The flowers were highlighted with a glitter pen and olive colored pearls.   A silk bow was placed in her hair.    "Giggle" was stamped and layered on punched circles/scallops and attached with pop dots.

I think she is a sweetheart.
