I love how our lives are woven together.

sing a happy tune




This lovely bird was kind enough to sing a song for me while I ate my lunch out by the pool.
How could I not be in a good mood after that?
When I go home I am going to pull together a pile of things....
I love my followers and I think its time for this blogs first giveaway

Stay tuned

JB 04 Pink and Green

Well it wouldn't be a challenge if it were easy now would it ?  As you know I am participating in Jingle Belles Rock challenge blog where we are given the task to create a Christmas card based on a new theme each week.  This week is a color challenge----- Dark Pink, Light Pink, and Lime Green.
huff   ....   not my colors at all

So I posted a comment saying I would bow out this week.

Well then I went to a Quilt Show and bought some batik fabric.....I brought it home and lookie !

I see pink and green !
So after tearing the house apart in search of other things to use in the card
 I found:
a green napkin
white ribbon
a pack of markers...including a few pink ones
I came up with this :


napkin + glue = green paper



ribbon, fabric + piece of shell = embellishment




Stamp ....MusicTree by Paper Bag Studio
Ink... Pallette


I really must stop whining when each new challenge is posted.

Have a great day !

my fist WOYWW

I think this is my first entry to wwwoyw...woyow...ooowy...woyww That's it!     woyww. ( what's on your workdesk wednesday blog party )  At least I am pretty sure it is my first ....I don't remember.

While in my home away from home I craft on the dinette table. Sometimes I put two leaves in to make it really big....but I am trying to be good this time and only work on small projects like cards etc...

and since I am the only human here.....I don't have to clean up.  This is what's left over from the cards I made the other day with a bit of stuff I am working on now. You have no idea how hard it was for me to not straighten things up before I took this pic.

white sand, full moon, and ....tucker?

Last night after walking Shadie and Goldie. I went back to the beach. Here it is "against the law" to be out on the beach at night. But I took my chances. The full moon was calling me to come out and dig my toes into the white sugar sand. Being on the beach at night under the gentle glow of the moon my mind began to wander. Not to memories of romantic nights when my husband and I first started to visit this beach, not to dreaming of the future and what it may hold for me. No my mind wandered home...my mind wandered to thoughts of Tucker.


When we started the sanctuary we decided to take in old dogs and dogs with special needs. We already had several dogs that fit that mold. and old dogs make my heart melt when they are homeless. Old dogs should never be homeless. But that's a story for another post. This post is about Tucker.

Tucker is not an old dog. But he crept into my heart when he was 8 weeks old and mangy, losing his hair and skin in such horrible condition that he scratched furiously til he bled. He was indeed a dog with special needs.

With the help of our vet we nursed him back to health and today he is a fine young dog. And the only special need he has now is the need to be with us.

This morning when I read about A Beach Cottages'  Good Life Wednesday I thought about what I could share that portrayed a good life.
My thoughts went back to the full moon, the white sugar sand, Tucker, RuffHaven..... a very good life.
A good life becomes even better in the company of dogs....(and cats too....)

Enjoy  your good life!
