Doggie Fun in the Pumpkin Patch...

One of my Bella pups born July 18, 2011 is now a Service Dog in Training with Paw'sitive Teams from San Diego, CA. This is the 3rd service pup they have received from me in the last6 10 years. My two other pups grew up to graduate and are canine companions today. I just received these pictures from Carol with Paw'sitive Teams of  Sejera (little pup in the wagon) and her friends visiting a pumpkin patch.

She is such a happy pup!

Curious as well...

Always smiling!

AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!

GIVEAWAY!

Check out this give away over at The Crafter Bug. This digital scrap book software My Memories Suite is absolutely amazing. Connie is having a giveaway, but I couldn't wait so I copied her code and purchased the software for $10 discount and downloaded it to my computer. It's so user friendly. I love scrap booking but don't like the mess and really don't have time, digital scraping is the answer. I've tried other digital  programs but never anything like this

I am having a blast creating these pages.

Below are six pages I put together yesterday of my current golden puppies.

You can go on Youtube and follow the tutorial's. There is just know end in sight with this software.

FALL = Malcolm, Pillows and a COZY MYSTERY!

When the weather starts  cooling down and the nights get cold I always look forward to going to bed early snuggling down in the pillows and covers with Malcolm snoring at my feet and reading a Cozy Mystery!  You what I'm talking about, the middle aged/senior single woman sleuth who annoys the police but always turns out right. She always has a cat or two and the resident dog who accompanies her on her escapades. There always seems be plenty of gossip, good food and tea where ever she goes. They always take place in beautiful quaint country sides with plenty of flowers, trees and wonderful small wild animals such as badgers, owls, or hedgehogs. Usually a quick read and always comes in a series. Our heroine never gets sick and she isn't worried about finding a man to fill the void in her life, her community, home, friends and furry kids provide enough adventure for any one person.

Autumn began last Friday and I found my first Cozy Mystery from a recommendation on Cozy-Mystery.com which is a wonderful blog with countless suggestions!  I found a new author, at least to me, Vicki Lane. She is a marvelous writer. She had me right up until the end. Her heroine is Elizabeth Goodweather a widow living in the mountains near Ashville, NC.  She love Appalachia and the beauty and mountain lore is all included. Her books always have an unresolved mountain legend included from the past that somehow coincides with what is going on in the future.
I just finished the 1st one in the series Signs in the Blood (check out review)and plan to continue reading the whole series. I have a kindle so I look forward tonight to snuggling down in bed with Malcolm passed out at my feet  reading
Art's Blood the 2nd installment in the series.

What to do with Vintage Flour Sacks...

These are so cool! My guess is from the 30's and 40's. My friend found them at a thrift store and she didn't know what to do with them so she gave them to me. I really like them, I am just at a loss on what to do with them. I thought of re-creating them with stuffing inside and displaying that way. Any ideas would be really appreciated. I have never heard of Sea Island Sugar Company or Harvest Blossom, they must me old.

Have you ever seen anything so cute...

This is Miss Cindy (Cinderella) one of my 13 golden retriever puppies. She is 4 weeks old. I haven't golden puppies around for quite a few years. We bred both our girls at the same time and got 13 puppies, 12 females and one male. They are so fun. A couple of them are going to local service dog organizations. We have just been having more fun with these babies.
