Doggie Bedtime - LoL

I just couldn't resist taking a photo of Shadow and Heinzie yesterday morning. It was quite cold and neither of them would get up out of bed to go outside. They are both old dogs now so deserve a bit of comfort and TLC - lol.

Where Do I Start

I have been such a slack blogger of late, well actually I have been a slack everything of late - LoL. No digital scrapping layouts to share & no graphics to share. The last couple of months seem to have passed in a blur but then maybe it's just the brain fog which I seem to be living with.

Well winter has hit with a bang. First lulling us into a false sense of security with beautiful warm weather and then BANG - single figure nights and days where the temps aren't reaching double figures till mid morning. I'm sitting here at my computer - it's 8:42am in Brisbane and the temperature is showing only 6degC - that's unheard of ......... BRRRRRR at least we are a coupld of degrees warmer than that here. It's actually reached 13 inside and is currently 9 outside.

I have left the coats on the dogs this morning - they just looked at me when I went to take them off as if so say "oh mum - but it's COLD".... He He - you should see them at night in their beds - well actually you can hardly see them as they snuggle right down under their blankets. Yeah I know - Spoilt Dogs.

Well I'll try to bring my blog up to date today and then hopefully not be as tardy in keeping up with the days happenings.

Spoilt Dogs?? - No ..... Just Loved

I couldn't resist taking these photos yesterday. I had just arrived home from the day out with a friend and when I opened the door all three dogs raced into the breezeway and onto their beds - well at least one went to HER bed. The other two decided that they would swap.

Here is Shadow (Shaddie) getting comfortable on her pillow - LoL.
This one is Heinzie on Coco's Bed. Heinzie is actually my mum's dog but unfortunately she and dad were unable to take him with them when they moved into their cottage at an Aged Care Village so he became a permanent resident here.
And here is Coco on Heinzie's bed. Coco is another sweet dog who we are baby-sitting for 12 months while his "parents" are travelling.

How Lucky Am I

Not only did I receive some wonderful kits from Gail at Aussie Scraps but on my blog was a message from Aquarius of Aquarius Scrapability requesting that I contact her. Well guess what ... she had an anonymous raffle and I was the winner of a kit from her store. How wonderful was that.

Thank you so much Aquarius - I promise I will manage some more digital layouts soon.

Woo Hoo - I've Won a Competition !!

Gail from Aussie Scraps had a competition where a she supplied a plain black t-shirt which then had to either have a saying or logo added or be decorated. I chose the latter and played around with a few different designs.

Well I arrived home from holidays to find an email waiting for me letting me know that my tee was chosen as the winner. I was absolutely blown away by the win as there are so many truly talented designers out there that I really didn't believe mine stood a chance. Gail - you have no idea how much you made my day.

I was able to choose 3 kits from Aussie Scraps which was so wonderful as Gail is an amazing designer. Thank you so very much Gail.

Here is my winning design ......
