pets are family.

 

I love the shirts Ryan got us from the Humane Society.

We have two dogs, Mieka (pictured below) a 10-year-old long haired chihuahua and Sienna a 3-year-old doberman we rescued. 

 

Our pooches make me happy, happy, happy.  They are our children!

getting crafty.

Oooo how I love doing crafts. 
Here are some of my favorites from this Christmas. 

  

 

styrofoam balls, flat wooden sticks, gold spray paint & a lil sparkle

 

large snowflake painted gold, 5 small white snowflakes glued behind for depth, smashed candycanes glued to the center & old ikea frame with matte board

 

homemade yarn pom-poms

 

instead of an ugly sweater, i decided to make this lovely headband. hehee

 

and here's a photo of the finished christmassy ball headband.

santa's helper and his reindeer (poor lil miekers, she does not look happy)
