Bodey's 2nd Home

After 3 months of sharing our home and our

lives with our gorgeous yellow lab, Bodey, and

making him a member of our family, we

finally thought that he had his anxiety issues

under control enough that we ventured out to

our local park where there are trails wrapping

through the woods around several beautiful

lakes and also the winding White River. We have

known that Bodey would more than likely love it

here, but because of his unkown past and anxiety

around other dogs, we wanted to wait a little while

until we thought that he would be secure enough

with us to be able to enjoy these surroundings.

Bodey at first was definitely over-stimulated with

all of the new smells, sights, and sounds, but once
he caught a glimpse of that glistening water nothing

else was on his mind. In true lab form he trotted

straight into the river, lapped up a bit of water, and

then proceeded to plop down on the river bottom

making himself quite comfortable, as if to say

"I'm home."

It was quite the sight to see him so happy and

relaxed. I think that I enjoyed watching him almost

as much as he enjoyed just being around the water.

Here's some photos that I took while Steve walked

Bodey down along the edge of various parts of the

river and lakes. Sorry the images are not fantastic,

but I was taking pictures again with my phone since

it's not always ideal to carry around my big camera

with three kids and a 90lb. lab.....hope you ENJOY!!

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Giant Paper Doily & A Kreaxions Layout

Alrighty,

I shared a few posts down about the 3" paper doilies

that will be available in my Etsy shop........

'PineappleScraps'

very very soon (like within days), and today

I'd like to share with you a layout that I created

using my Kreaxions punches and a giant 7" doily!!

I think I'm in heaven!!! I LOVE this doily craze

right now in scrapbooking and I hope so much
that it never goes away, but I love even more

that I can create my own, and now this giant

doily made from gorgeous patterned paper just

perfect for a photo mat on layouts!! As you can

see on this page......

I used the giant 7" red paper doily as a mat under

my photos of my sweet Bodey boy and I also used

a 3" red doily in the upper right of the layout as a

base for my journaling. A little part of the 3" doily

hung off the side of the layout so I cut it off and

used it on the bottom edge as a base for my date

stickers. LOVE these doilies!!!! They add a nice pop

of color and can make a page a little extra fun and

frilly with no more effort than just taping it down!!

Please check out my Etsy shop 'PineappleScraps'

to purchase both sizes of paper doilies in tons of

various colors and patterns...also, the layerd fabric

flowers that you see here on my layout will also

be an item available for purchase at 'PineappleScraps'!!!

(still waiting on my new business debit card in order

to get my Etsy shop up and running....I was told it

should arrive Monday then you'll be able to check out

'PineappleScraps'...will post when all is ready to go.....
