Pups on my mind...

    Today, I had two fun little cards that were created to share with those who have donated or adopted from Paw Affection Dachshund Rescue, which is non-profit based here in Massachusetts. I am honored and very proud to be a volunteer and a member of the Board of Directors for this wonderful Rescue.  If you are every interested in adopting a Rescue Dog, being a Foster for PADR or donation we can always use your help!   You find us on Facebook and I invite you all to stop by and LIKE our page! for this amazing group!  
 
    The first card I created to sent out to a family who just adopted one of our loving Dachshunds, we love to keep in touch the those who adopt and also let them know just how much we appreciate them.  


    
    This card is being entered into the December Challenge over at Die Cut Divas!  The die set I used for my cute little Paw Prints, is a favorite from Poppy Stamps.

     My second card is a new little Christmas Card that I colored up with my Copics, and I must admit my "coloring" is not so hot, so I can't wait to feel better and start practicing again!  I LOVE coloring with Copics and have taken several classes, but it's a skill that requires lots of practice and lately, as you know I have not been creating!  Even so, I think the card is cute and it features a sweet little Dachshund from this stamp set by Newton's Nook.

 

     You can find this set of "Holiday Hounds"HERE at Simon Says Stamp!  I'm also entering this card into the MONDAY Challenge over at the SSS Challenge Blog, which this week's theme is "Just a Pinch" and my "pinch on this card are the fund little sequins that I added, also available at SSS and designed by Lucy Abrams!!  Love them!!

      I am so excited to have all my Christmas Cards in the mail and today I finished up my wrapping...well most of it.  I'm still waiting on a couple of last minute "orders", but I do have the majority of it done and that was a huge task! 

      Hope you are all enjoying your Christmas and Holiday preparation.  I will start doing some baking next week and then it's simply a matter of waiting for the Festivities to being!    Ho!  Ho!  Ho!!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
