How cute is this little guy? Well the puppies are almost 4 weeks old now and the sight of 12 little balls of fur running on the lawn is quite the picture. The one cuter than the next and all so lovable. They are now at the stage where they are looking for things to chew on and play and simply love being outside. There is one specific one that is of course the naughty one and he was the first to climb over the little wooden fence and sit outside on the lawn - did you say naughty...mmmmm maybe adventurous.

Needless to say they are a sight - and it is then that you realise how great God is. These puppies are so innocent and are quite content with eating, sleeping and playing and life could not be more fulfilling or simple for them. Maybe just maybe there is a lesson in there somewhere for us humans. Have a wonderful puppy day filled with love!

Thanks to Laurie Mika for the inspiration of her mixed media art works! This project is right up there with the best things in life - having fun and being creative. Thanks to the girls for playing with clay, the coffee, the chats, the inspiration, the free goodies and for just being there! We have had so much fun creating these canvasses - and using a lot of stamps and things long forgotten.

I'm not sure if this canvas will be in this golden frame fro sure...there may be another creation in a different colour for this one, but it will definitely be frame and hung soon...like today once it is totally dry.

With the colder evenings I tend to wanna climb into bed early and just snuggle down...but then the creative urge sometimes gets in the way and well then I just make stuff. Why - because I can! This house template was designed by Linita a friend and put together with my own type of construction. OK so building was never on the cards as a career opportunity for me.

I wanted to make it a pretty little hide away and opted for the floral patterned paper with a vintage feel and look. I used elements found on my table as usual and then just added random elements.

I have been blessed with some of my cards being published in the latest issue of Take Ten magazine. I am yet to receive my copy and will then post some pictures of the cards...as I took none of the actual projects and didn't give it much thought to be honest.

Take Ten magazine publishes quick cards that can be made in ten minutes or less. So these are really easy and quick cards but with loads of inspiration. My cards have a baby theme but could so easily be adapted to boys, girls, men or women.

Thanks so much to the staff at Stampers' sampler for picking my work - it is always a great honour to be acknowledged by the best in the industry!

I am spring cleaning and hoping to finish off some layouts with titles, journaling and stuff to post later this week. Have a great day!

OK..so here they are as requested by many of you. Our little puppies. We have tried to distinguish them but so far there are 4 boys, 8 girls and 3 whitish ones.

Their eyes opened on Saturday and they are already tackling the world head first. Too cute to see how they recognize their mommy and go charging to get to the milk canisters first.
Yes ...I know they are adorable! There's nothing quite like puppy breath, little waggly tails and soft fluffy ears. God truly is amazing in the little details He puts into each new life.

So how many can we keep?
