Stamp - A - Stack...

and some other cards... using up some old favourites & playing with my new stuff!

introducing...

Harley's new "little" brother - Milo (nee Molson - hated that so we are in the process of changing it!)! Isn't he gorgeous!??!

I found him in OK Falls through the hospital e-bulletin board... someone just didn't think it through when they got him, and "didn't have the space and time for him." Well, her crappy planning is my gain - we got this gorgeous boy for $500 this morning!

He was soooo good in the car on the way home, and then we took them to the park and turned them loose for a couple hours - he was absolutely delightful with the other dogs and ran laps around the park! I'm fairly sure he's not been exposed to that very much before - that's going to change! He met new friends today too - Linus & Sally... Milo & Linus get along very well!

He's a purebread Doberman Pinscher - 8 months old and 85lbs (he is as tall as Harley already!)... he's still growing into his ears and his tongue and his legs. I love his puppy clumsiness! And he's a cuddler! Harley is so not.


I really didn't know how Harley would react to another dog on his turf (he's been my one and only for 7 1/2 years after all!)... there have been a few scuffles (namely when Milo tries to dominate Harley), but for Day #1 things have gone extremely well! He needs all his shots... and he will be neutered (in the very near future!), but all in all he's a gorgeous, goofy, gentle boy who just found his forever home (we are his 4th home in his short 8 months!).

go check it out...

there's a new scrapbooking store in town - Ever After! Had to go check it out today after work. You should go - Amanda is still setting up and getting settled, but she is open for business (and there is already a TON of great NEW stuff that no one else has!). Pop in, say hi & check it out!

just a few little things...

that are making me happy today:


Yes, food... surprise, surprise. They're the best with homemade artichoke dip (which I will be making for tomorrow evening!)...


The Wii. I never thought I would be a 'gamer' (well, technically I'm not really since the only game I like is Rayman's Raving Rabbids, and the Wii Fit program)... but I love this little thing!


Harley. Makes me laugh on a daily basis... when he's not conspiring to make me pull my hair out.



Yes, more food. Specifically, fresh peaches and zucchini, straight from the garden... mmm!!!




My computer geek. Love him.


And... the beginnings of an organized scrapbook space!!! Yay!!!!

my foot may be broken...

but I can still bowl, baby!

Well, to be more correct, I can still bowl well enough to beat Shawn at Wii bowling...

OK, so I won once and am posting smack because I can!

We got (me) a Wii specifically for this game... Yes, that's right, thanks to Kelli, I am addicted to Rayman Raving Rabbids. Shawn likes it too.

Harley just thinks we've both lost it.

exciting day today...

I'm going to see Donna Downey with Kelli this fall! The retreat was priced just right and we decided we needed a SBing getaway (& possibly some shopping!)...

AND...

my long awaited package of goodies from Cards (& my free copies of the magazine!) arrived after work today - birthday week continues!!!

'birthday week'

is a little thing I like to celebrate... really, everyone has it but I choose to use it!

For example, my birthday was this past weekend... last Tuesday - Thursday, Shawn took me to Vancouver for a whirlwind 'birthday' shopping trip and to see the Festival of Lights (we saw China's show and it was awsome!).

On Friday, I picked out my new scooter:


I can totally ride it with the cursed RoboBoot on!!!!


Then, on Saturday, we had friends out to the lake for a BBQ / party...

On my actual birthday, Shawn cooked me dinner... Monday we had blueberry pancakes for breakfast, Tuesday we picked up my scooter... see - birthday week! LOVE it!

Now this week is rolling on into Kelli's birthday week - her parade and street fair is Saturday... come one and all!
