So far I made the one mini... until today (well actually the other day) when I made two more mini's.  And really, these weren't so tough because I copied one that I had previously made and just cut everything twice.  I still need to embellish and such... but here's to two more projects!

My creations from this months kit.  Using mostly the add on, but some of the main kit too!

This picture was recently unearthed for our Anniversary party... gosh, I can still remember...

The poor dog has been fighting an infection which he has been on several meds for about a week now and while he is looking better, its still not great. 

After grooming and trying all of these meds, which adds up at the vet.  So now the vet wants to add a medicated shampoo to bath him in every couple days.  I wasn't too worried about the bath part cause this guy LOVES the water!

But I...

Trish did a giant Christmas project kit last year around November. This kit is loaded with projects, stamps, paper and oh so much goodness I had to get it out and start playing.
