Puppy *Luke* and some awesome RAK's

If been wanting to update you on our little puppy.....

Here is our *Luke*. He is 3 months now.

He has grown so much and gained 16 pounds since we have him.........We are switching him to *big* boy food soon!!! The Vet thinks he'll be at least 80 pounds.....he has his body from his daddy and his pretty face from his mommy!!!

Luke loves to hang out with my girls. In the picture is my oldest Sarah (right), her friend Tiff (center) and our little Miriam (left). Can you tell Luke loves to be the center of attention.....????

Next I want to show you some gorgeous cards some of my blogger friends have mailed me. I feel so blessed to have found such awesome friends thru SCS - THANK YOU LADIES FOR THINKING OF ME - IT REALLY MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!!!

Jessica Rone

Every one know how super sweet my friend Jessie is and I feel soooooo super rotten, because I have received so many of her gorgeous cards and I have not gotten of my lazy big ....to mail her one back.....!!!

Not any more - Jessie - mail is on the way - LOL!!!

This card made it to my house this week and I was so thrilled about it , because Janette has thought of me after finishing this card and mailed it off - plus she had to do some serious research to find my address.......isn't that nice???

Denise Marzec

Over the last couple of weeks I have received a couple of Denise's gorgeous cards. I'm so blessed that I have met her over on SCS and we have been friends ever since. If everything works out - we both finally get to meet each other in January!!! WAAHHOOO!!!

She has made this gorgeous card for me when I was the Featured Stamper in April . How super cool is that - I have an Amy original - LOL!!!

Thank you for stopping by and letting me share all this with you!!!

Have a great Sunday!!!

Look at this!!!

This super wonderful card came this weekend from my dear
friend Shirley aka "wannabcre8tive" and I have to tell you really quick that Shirley is also a proud "Boxer" mom.

Shirley's dog's name is "Atlas" and we have been e-mailing back and forth to see how our "old" boy's were doing, because both of them would have turned 14 years in June!!!

And as you already know our boy has not made it that far....

Anyway - I love this Boxer card because that's how beautiful my Rico boy was when he was a young puppy - just super cute with his fluffy ears!!!

As you can imagine I just cried my butt off.....but that's okay I know one day I'll see him again!!!

THANK YOU SHIRLEY FOR THIS WONDERFUL CARD IT WAS SO KIND OF YOU TO MAIL IT TO ME - I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!



This super sweet card came also this weekend and it's
from my blogger buddy Jessica aka "knightrone".

Jessica was so thoughtful to sent me this because of the loss of my Rico boy!!!

Of course I've cried my butt off AGAIN!!! But not because I was so sad - no - I thought it was so super sweet!!!

THANK YOU MY FRIEND!!! I have started a little Keepsake Box for my Rico.....and this will definitely be in there too!!!
















I have received this "FABULOUS" card from Laura aka "scrapnextras".

Laura was so sweet and cased this card when I was the "Featured Stamper"!!!

I know she is a super busy "Dirty Girl" right now and it meant so much to me that she has taken the time to make this card for me - THANK YOU LAURA!!!

Look at this card #2 !!!!

This is another card I have received from my blogger friend Denise aka "peanutbee". Isn't it super cute???

I needed that hug so much and it helped me to feel better !!!

Denise is the nicest person and I consider myself very lucky to have found her!!!

I have always loved Denise's cards over on SCS and one day I saw that she has started a blog and from that day on I have stalked her!!!

Denise hope you don't mind - LOL!!! I know I have already mentioned that she makes awesome cards as you can tell already by the cards she has made for me......and if you have not checked her out yet please hop on over to her blog and see for yourself!!!

DENISE - YOU ROCK AND I'M SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU AS MY FRIEND!!!
