Sorry that these are coming out sporadically.  This one uses three stacked photos.  I find I’ve been arranging my pics this way alot lately.   I like how it tells a story.  This layout started with the Technique Tuesday frames and kind of evolved from there.

Here’s the sketch

Quick jax scrapping

I had to drive Madison to Jacksonville for her little friends birthday so I recruited Zanne for an impromptu trip to their local scrapbook shop.  They always have cool stuff.  I got a new border punch, the two in one corner rounder from Fiskars, some Fancy pants stamps and some newish papers and embellies.  Since we were there we decided to stay and crop for a bit.  I got these two pages started.  it was great fun but I didn’t love the midnight drive home to Orlando.

Seems like I’ve been working on this typography poster forever. this is about the hundredth version of it. I think I’m finally happy with it. It may even hang in my studio/sb room.

Project 365 Day 88-94

Meet Dante

In spite of my initial decision not to get another dog when we lost Atilla, I somehow got the puppy bug. I managed to wait a few weeks and convince Neil before I found Dante at a pet rescue. He’s part lab and part cattle dog. I’ve never met a more mellow puppy. He seems to be house trained and crate trained and he never pulls the leash. He does chew everything in sight, a definite puppy behavior.

Responsibility

Madison has really stepped up in the taking care of puppy department. she is working hard to train him and never complains when she has to take him for a walk. Having Alyssa and Rocky join them on their walks definitely makes it more fun.

Best Buddies

Rocky is the Borisenko’s dog. He’s the sweetest boxer ever and has really taken to Dante. I love watching them hang out and play together. Although he’s three times heavier than rocky he’s always careful not to squish him.

At the vet

In the first 3 days we’ve had Rocky he’s had to go to the vet twice. First for shots and deworming and then for kettle cough. True to his nature, he doesn’t complain. He really is a sweet puppy

Part of project keep the kids entertained for spring break was a day at Build A Bear. Laura and Ian joined us at the Altamone Mall. The kids were so sweet picking out, stuffing and dressing their new stuffed friends.

Orlando Magic vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

At the very last minute, Laura and Greg invited us to go to the Orlando magic game with them. Greg’s client sometimes lets him use his awesome seats three rows up from the floor. WAtching the game close up is a totally different experience from the nosebleed seats we usually get. You can really tell how huge the players are and it’s cool to see the expressions on their faces. It was also exciting sitting so close to Tiger Woods and taking a picture with Warren Sapp.

Meet our new baby!

A few weeks ago we had to put our 19 year old pup, Atilla to sleep.  He lived a long, wonderful life but we were so sad to let him go.  I swore we were done with dogs.  As much as we loved Atilla, at the end he rarely made it outside and I was looking forward to a nice clean house.  No more cleaning up accidents, no more doggy drool on the toilet, no more hairballs.  Then one day it hit me like a ton of bricks, I wanted a puppy.  Forget that we may have to move back to California for Neil’s job, forget the crappy economy, forget my nice clean house, I needed a little ball of puppy scented love.  Well, oddly enough Neil was completely against it.  I’m not going to lie, that probably made me want it more.  After my sobbing “when do I ever insist on anything” speech he sort of gave in.  I fell in love with a Puggle at the pet store.  Well, instead of the Puggle we wandered over to the nimal rescue at PetSmart and came home with a 20 pound mutt of a dog.  Officially, he’s a lab, cattle dog mix.  He started out named Max but after much family discussion (ie arguing) we settled on Dante.  So here he is…….He’s an amazing dog……crate trained, housebroken, he walks without pulling and doesn’t run away. He’s the jackpot of puppies.  A full grown dog in a large puppy body.  He does chew a little but he’s easily redirectable.  The cats are pissed but all in all he’s settling in nicely.
