I Can Relate....FMS707

 

My cousin has two rescued Papillons that are two very lucky dogs!  They are adorable but have recently needed a great deal of medical care.....including a few surgeries. But I am happy to report that after a lot of TLC they are doing well.  So now that everyone is feeling better I thought she could relate to this card - definitely sums up the past few months!

Nicky and Bijou are looking just fine these days!

Sneaking in a Christmas card before I go back to Halloween cards.  I love this image for a holiday wreath as it brings back memories of getting oranges and walnuts in my Christmas stocking long ago!

Meanwhile Emma and her parents were in Maine last week making some memories at the ocean.  They love to go in the fall when the beach is usually empty. One night they headed down to the beach and another couple was there. The guy came up to my daughter and asked if she would take their picture. Then he leaned in and whispered "Please take a video - I am going to propose!" My daughter said she was more nervous than he was because she didn't want to mess it up!  

And here's the happy couple checking out the video after the bride to be said YES!

Have fun with Amy's great sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

High Flying Wishes.....FMS705

 

It has been a busy week around here - I could use a little plane to fly around in. But I am probably better off sticking to my Ford Escape! 

Papers and dies from Concord and 9th and Stampin' Up! play very well together in my design today.  A closeup of the fabulous textured , glittery and shiny papers.......

Hello Fall.....FMS704

Fall is my favorite time of year since it is three seasons in one - Summer/Fall/Winter.  We are still in the summer part enjoying the sunshine and watching for the early pops of color in the trees. Then it will be October in all of its colorful glory followed by dark, gloomy November when we await the first snow and the holiday season to brighten things up again!

In the meantime we have been busy around here doing final summery things with Emma and Will like celebrating Emma's 13th birthday! Her parents took her to Boston to a Benson Boone concert followed by a family and friends celebration at home.

Concerts have sure come a long way since I saw Sonny and Cher a zillion years ago!

Michele has a delightful sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Have fun with it!
