Fall Wreath

I've been seeing a ton of cute wreaths out in blog world so I decided to try my own. I didn't feel like buying anything, so I just looked around the house. I used a foam wreath and some left over burlap from my fake "mantle" fall decor, shown here.

I wrapped the foam wreath in burlap and hot glued it in place.

Then I just made a few flowers with fabric I had. I even used an old sweater that I was going to throw out anyway, because it had a hole in it. The brown corduroy was from a pair of Kyle's paints that I had cut off into shorts because they were too short.

I was going to hang it on the front door, but the only person to see it would be the mail man, since we never use the front door, and neither do any of our guests, so I'm going to have to find a place in the house or on the back door to put it!

Comfort Food

Do you have a food that just makes everything all better? Something that just makes you think of home? or your mom? A food that you will eat no matter how sick you feel?

Well mine is peanut butter and jelly...and usually Coca Cola, although I am slowly trying to cut that out of my diet!

When I woke up from my gallbladder surgery, the first solid food I had was PB& J!

What is your comfort food of choice?

Midwest Dachshund Festival 2011

Kurt and the dogs and I went to our 2nd doxie fest down in Danville, Illinois back in September. We took Kyle as I discussed in this post.

We had a great time, and I think Kyle did too, although he has a hard time expression how he feels sometimes. It's hard having a nephew with a disability that you cannot see with your eyes...because everyone assumes that he is fine. Anyway, lets not go down that road right now :)

This post will be very picture heavy, as there were SO many great things to see! Obviously these are not all of our dogs, but you will certainly recognize Osc and Lyla Buggy in some of them.        **Some of these pictures were taken by my very talented friend, Michelle. Thanks Michelle! You ROCK!!

The one of Oscar poking his nose out of the stroller and the 2 close ups that Michelle took of Kyle take my breath away!! Just wonderful!! Have a great day!

I have a follower!!!

New "niece"

So I have a new "niece" of the furry variety...
Meet Penny Lane! (They didn't name her for 3 days, and then my mom started referring to her as "chi chi" and they got on it right away!)

Congratulations, Hannah and Joshua!
