One Woman's Trash become MY TREASURE

Recently a friend of mine called me and said that she had found a yardsale that I needed to hit. Lucky for me the woman said she'd be out for only another 45 minutes ....... it was a 15 min drive. When I got there it was like paradise. The lady was a former Stampin Up rep and was cleaning house. She had a whole table dedicated to scrapbooking items that she was getting rid of. They were all things that were brand new. I checked with my catalog when I got home and compared the prices.... all the goodies I bought would have totalled up to $683. Whew I can't afford to throw that kinda money at my hobby, especially not with a gallon of milk (or for that matter gas) costing what it does now. I left with a huge box of goodies and it cost $100! I can chew on that one for a bit and swallow that cost when I considered how much I saved. To give you an example.....

Heat Embossing Gun ........ Lists $35, Paid $3
Dry Chalk Pallate ............ Lists $29 (i think), Paid $6
Stamp Set .......... Lists $29, Paid $5
Stamp Set .......... Lists $19, Paid $1
.....and the list just keeps going!

Needless to say, I will watch this house like a hawk for future yardsales! She said she had more goodies, but for that day she was only selling the things she had acquired, but never used. Maybe next round she'll have some used items too!

LOVIN IT!

Daddy gets what daddy wants!

My poor Mojo! Yesterday was ‘supposed’ to go to the vet for a check-up and ‘discussion’ about her ears. Turns out, that the vet wanted to crop hers immediately because she was at the age where her ears might not take a crop.



I was not happy … I love those cute floppy ears. Daddy wanted her to look like a Doberman with the cropped ears and all so yesterday I they cropped her ears. My poor baby has her ears all bandaged up and I miss those cute floppy flaps of flesh. Besides that, I just don’t think cropping the ears is at all necessary.

As usual, daddy gets, what daddy wants!

(Mean ‘ole daddy)

I got my MOJO!!!!

My dear Roxy, whom I lost over a month ago, will NEVER be replaced in my heart. She was a great protector, friend and companion. I will forever miss her!

This week I finally came to the point (in my heart) that I felt that I had more love to give again …. I just got another Doberman.


Her name is Mojo and she’s an 11 week old black & rust AKC and is full of herself! She’s high energy, non-stop pup! She has had her tail docked, but has not had her ears cropped.
