Back on Track …
We struggled in the nursery for a bit, as our Gina had her pups on Friday. Juggling the needs of the babies, new Moms, the rest of our four-legged crew and dinners … Whew! As we watch the newborns 24/7, DH and I flip to our best schedules – he takes the day watch and …
Pup Watch & Staying Busy …
As a first time mom, Georgie and her pups are doing great! She has even adjusted to having a whelp-mate in the nursery, as Gina is waiting for her pups to arrive (- and growing bigger by the minute!) … So, DH and I are staying close. I’m so grateful we have a finished basement …
Busy … But with Downtime
We’ve had a busy week … welcoming pups on Tuesday. Our Georgie is doing a great job as a first time Mom, but we’re staying close to keep an eye on all. So – I’ve had plenty of time to work on cards – stamping, masking, die-cutting, coloring … And(!) – I organized my growing …

A Quiet Week …
After Michigan’s first snowfall of the season (Monday) and a stressful weekend at work, I decided on a low energy, restful week. We made some comfort foods (nachos, mostaccioli and quesadillas), played with pups and talked about Christmas plans. I made a card and moved some dichro cabs along: On a positive note …
I’m Not Dead … Yet ;)
Sorry for the really long lapse between postings. The reasons are varied, but combine busy-overload with creative funk, along with a bit of cleaning and reorganizing. And … officially entering my 5th decade of life. OUCH! My family knows me so well … And they all came to celebrate with dinner and cake at our …
