#592 - Fab'n'Funky Challenge - 'Fantasy'

 


Hi everyone! It's time for our 'just for fun' challenge at Fab'n'Funky and our host for this challenge is the lovely Chris and she has chosen the theme 'Fantasy'. I have used this Sugar Plum Fairy that I bought from Funky Fossil.

It's been quite hard getting back into crafting so I apologise for this card LOL but I think I've lost my mojo! anyone find it I'd be really happy to have it back hahaha. Bertie has recovered well after the loss of his 'marbles' ...it's as if he's always been here. 

Pop on over and see what my teamies have created! and join in the fun...take care and lots of huggles Sue xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

'Happy Easter'

 


Hi everyone! Lovely sunny day here but I think we are in for some colder weather later on...sheesh we don't need anymore rain that's for sure. I made this Easter card with a digital image from Mo's Digital Pencil and she is called 'Ava'.

Bertie had his testibules removed last Monday so he's been taking it easy??? Jeez the vet said he should be calm for awhile well he was till the drugs wore off then he was back to his boisterous self LOL...and Chris kindly sent him a card and a toy and he absolutely loves it. He had had no training whatsoever and was left alone for up to 11 hours while his owner was at work. Thought he was going to pull my arm out of my socket when I took him for a walk...well he's now lead trained and sits, goes down, gives us his paw and basically does as he's told LOL you have to let them know who's boss. But he's so sweet and loves cuddles off us both and has settled in absolutely fine and he's very intelligent...doesn't like any pigeons or crows coming into the garden and gives them a run for their money...after all he is a gun dog hahaha.

Well hope everyone is okay thanks so much for all your kind comments on my last post and have a great weekend! Lots of huggles Sue xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just A Little Update

 Hi everyone...well not sure if it was 'fate' or just 'pure coincidence' but we have been donating to a dog rescue for quite a lot of years now and I was talking to 'the hubster' about how I had this gaping hole since we lost Ollie and I know nothing would ever replace him...but we decided to put our name forward to rescue a dog and give it a good home...so I sorted all the forms out and just left it at that. So last Friday my Grandson and I were just sat chatting and he said if you ever get another dog Nana what would you call it? ..so I thought about it and I said Betty for a girl and Bertie for a boy LOL 

Saturday morning the phone rang..and it was the rescue centre did I fancy adopting a spaniel he's chocolate brown and he's 12 months old and his name is 'Bertie'...she must have thought I was crazy because I just burst into tears...and to make it more amazing it would have been Ollie's 14th birthday the same day.  So here is Bertie! made himself at home already..so gentle and so loving and I'm sure there are 2 special dogs somewhere over the rainbow bridge looking down on us all knowing Bertie will have a truly loving home.

Crafty Calendar March Challenge


 Hi everyone...today is the beginning of our March Challenge at Crafty Calendar and the theme for this month is 'More Than One Fold' and we are sponsored by the fabulous Lawn Fawn and I have used this large Lawn Fawn Happy Birthday To You die I had in my stash...so please pop on over and join in and see what my teamies have created!

Seems ages since I blogged or did any crafting...at the moment I am having a break from my DT duties and only looking after the Crafty Calendar challenge blog..because truthfully my head and heart aren't in it since we lost our beloved Ollie. I would like to thank each and everyone of you for the wishes and love and especially the beautiful handmade cards we received it was so very kind of you all. The house still feels so empty and quiet and I haven't got him following me around the bungalow or getting excited when anyone knocks on the door or he was off out for a walk.

I hope all of you are well and okay and my heart goes out to everyone that is sad or has lost a loved one...take care and once again thanks for everything...huggles xxxxxxxx Sue xxxxxxxxxxxxx
