Design Your Own Shoes by Keds!

I can't believe what I found!

Isn't this something!

PUG shoes by Keds!

This is just one of the styles they have. There are several other styles available through Zazzle.com site. I believe the purchase of these shoes benefits Pug Rescue - Pugs 'N Pals! Plus, you will also notice in the left upper corner, they featured T-Shirts and such with "Elvis the Puggy" painted by Nancy Medina.



And if you wish for a different design, you can design your very own shoes directly at the Keds.com site.

Just think of the possibilities!

Have a wonderful weekend!

I found another Great Give-Away!

I just love give-aways! They are so much fun...I found another one to write about.

Give-aways are fun to host, too. I can't wait to have another one of my own! I'll be hosting one in February! Check back then to see what it is.

Have a fun day,

Skippy Meets Two New Bears

I am so excited because the other day I received these two adorable bears. Aren't they just the cutest! I ordered them from Melanie at her etsy shop: MOE MOE. Both of these cute little bears certainly called out to me. They were definitely one of those "must have" purchases. I love it when you can find items that you absolutely fall in love with. When I first visited Melanie's shop I immediately noticed the bear that is pictured right next to Skippy. This is a Bavarian Bear - and on the ribbon there are some beautiful Edelweiss Flowers. I actually purchased this little bear for Tony and McKenna's father/daughter collection. They have an edelweiss collection consisting of many different items. McKenna named their Bavarian Bear "Edie" (pronounced EE-dee). Tony and McKenna started their collection when McKenna was a toddler back in the days when we used to watch "The Sound of Music" all the time.

And the other little bear - the quilted one - well...that was a "To Me From Me" gift!




Here are a couple more pictures of Miss Skippy Wu, too.



Don't Ya Just Love That Little Puggie Face!

Happy Sunday Everyone!



Isn't that a cute name for a blog - "Jelly Bean Soup Company". I thought so, too. One day I was reading comments at the Sew Mama Sew blog and notice Jelly Bean...so I went over there and the very first pic I saw was of her dog DAX...immediately I fell in love with DAX - Dax has one of the most sweetest faces I've ever seen.

Jelly Bean is hosting a Quilt GiveAway - A Mini-Family Tree Quilt. And she will add your family's names too! Isn't this wonderful.

So, please help spread the word and visit Jelly Bean Soup Company's blog so that you and your friends can enter this great Give-Away, too. Good Luck and Enjoy!

P.S. Don't forget to scroll down one entry and see that adorable picture of DAX!

A Beautiful Walk in the Snow

It snowed again last night, so when we woke up this morning everything looked like a true Winter Wonderland. McKenna and I decided to go for a walk. Right across the street from us is a small lake and park. We thought we better get out there quick because a couple days ago we wanted to, and it RAINED, so all the snow sticking to the trees came off!

Here are some pictures McKenna took while on our walk.

This one was taken just as we started off..we were standing at the end of our driveway.


Here are the rest as we walked around the lake:






This is one of my favorites that she took:



Here's one of McKenna.



Isn't this a pretty one, too?



McKenna LOVES taking pictures of dew drops...here is one and it is frozen.



And last but not least, here is a picture of the waterfall that feeds into the lake.



There ya have it! Hope you enjoyed our Beautiful Walk In the Snow.

Happy New Year / New ETSY Shop



Here is another pretty clip art image I found at Karen's site.

Boy, isn't it something that 2009 is already here! My goodness time really does fly by! So much to do, and it seems like so little time....This is going to be one of my New Year's Resolutions: Try to be successful in accomplishing as many things on my TO DO list as possible! Wish me luck!

One of the things I have been wanting to do for months now, is sign up for ETSY. And, I'm very happy to say that (with with help of my daughter - McKenna) we did! I now have a new ETSY shop. (So far, I think I'm learning the ETSY ropes pretty good. They offer so much help which makes it wonderful.)

Here is the new banner McKenna designed for my ETSY shop:



I really like this banner because it features Skippy's Cute Little Puggie Face! If you would like to see the banner full size check it out here at ETSY.

McKenna helped me set up everything late on New Year's Eve, and when we went to finish the entries on New Year's Day ONE ITEM SOLD! At first, I was confused because the image was gone then I realized it sold! Talk about exciting!

Anyway...here's wishing all of you a very Wonderful and Exciting New Year!!!

Pug Hugs to Everyone!
