In Loving Memory

THis is for my wonderful and precious furbaby that is no longer with us  physically...but spiritually and emotionally she is. Kahlua you have been the best baby anyone could have had. Such a happy and loving dog. Always there to greet me at the door...loved to run and play...ohh and such a ham in front of the camera. YOU are greatly and deeply missed! No other can replace you...my heart will carry a missing piece forever more. Rest baby girl....you have deserved it. The passion and committment you have shown as a loyal companion will never go unmissed. Enjoy the time with family that is there with you and I'll see you again at Rainbow Bridge....With all my love, tears, and kisses...

A BROKEN HEART

Hello...

Just 6 days after posting the last post...my BELOVED furbaby, Kahlua had to be put down. It KILLED me to do it too. She is deeped loved and missed beyond words. She was the best companion anyone could have asked for.  We had her cremated and today, DH picked up her ashes and brought her home for good. I just broke out into tears again...seems like I've done more crying lately than ever. Miss ya baby girl...love ya always.....

♥ Mommy.

Kahlua....Mommy's Girl

Here is a photo of me and Kahlua. SHe is everything to me. I've raised her from 2 months old to now...and she will be 13 yrs on in Nov. She isn't in the best of health these days and it saddens my heart to no end. I cherish each day as it comes to spend it with her. I couldn't have asked for a better pup or company. She had a vet visit yesterday and we found out that she has  UTI and now is on meds for it. I hope it helps my baby.

LOVe and hugs baby girl

Crop Frame

This photo frame is altered and for  the HOSTESS of our INTERNATIONAL CROP next weekend in Galesburg, IL. I LOVE how it turned out....better than expected. love when a plan comes together.  I took a HL frame and painted it with chocolate brown paint. ...dried with heat gun...and then added a buttermilk paint to it in strips...then wiped it off to give it the worn/distressed look. TOOO COOOL! THen I sanded areas of it even further and on the edges. The saying in the lower  left-hand corner is from the CIRCLE Cart...Everyday Cricut. It's soo fitting for this frame. I painted it with SU Lil' Red Riding Hood ink and glued it in place. The red/white large flower in the upper rt-hand corner is from Recollections and it's canvas. LOVE IT! The smaller deeper red is a HM flower from a swap. I used black gem , champaign and chocolate pearls. The cream vintage ribbon from my stash..and the 2 brown-toned butterflies are from Jenni Bowlin.  LOVE IT!!!

DR visit in Carmel

I had my follow-up visit after the surgery yesterday. Doc took the bandage off...yahhh...and the sutures out. He said it was looking good. I then worked with  an Occ. Therapist for exercises to stretch it out. It feels really good soo far...but looks horrible. The other hand didn't bruise like this one did. Go back at the end of September.

HUgs to all
