I fully intended to frame this picture, but I never got around to it. It got put away for  a while but this challenge brought it back to mind because we're all wearing green. I thought it was going to be more difficult to do a 12x12 layout all in shades of green, but I was surprised how well it turned out!

Oh darn! I forgot to take a picture of the finished keychain. Click this link for the pattern and picture of the project. http://kandjdolls.blogspot.com/2010/02/blue-donkey-free-amigurumi-crochet.html   There's also lots of other free patterns to download and patterns for sale in her shop as well.  Still haven't finished the other project and I have a feeling it's gonna be a while before I do!

I made this card for a friend's mom, I used thickers by American Crafts and backed the big flower and the center of the small flower in coordinating colors. I stamped the letters with layered alphabet stamps by Stampology using Tsukineko's Brilliance ink pad in coffee bean and Dew Drops in wheat. The flower stamp inside is from the whimsical words and doodles by Hot Off The Press. 

So about a week ago, I found this dog near a park, no collar, no tags. I talked to people around the area and they told me that he probably got dropped off at the park. It's really a mistery to me why someone would do that to such a great dog. I called him over to me and he came happily, I told him to get in my car and he did. Then I noticed he was so stinky, he smelled like urine and the white fur on his neck was yellow, except for a the part where the collar should be. That was the only white part left, I'm guessign he was tied up and/or confined in such a small space that he had to live in his own filth. So I took him home, gave him a bath and took him to get scanned for a microchip (he didn't have one). While he was with me, he was the sweetest dog, he rolled over on his back so I would pet his belly, he gave me kisses, he follwed me everywhere. I posted ads to give his owners a chance to find him, I got no responses. I would have kept him if I didn't have 3...

So here's what I'm currently working on, I'll post them when they're finished with links to the patterns I used ;)

I started this blog so I could get some inspiration and challenge myself with the help of the many scrapbooking challenges out there. There's lots of great ideas and resources that I didn't even know about! For example,  I found this giveaway from the scrapbooking cottage. They're giving away some of the splash-dance collection. How cool is that! here's the link to their page, hurry if you want to enter, there's only a few days left! http://thescrapbookingcottage.blogspot.com/
