Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh my!!!

So today we decided to take a quick trip to the zoo since it was cloudy out, great breeze and was only supposed to get into the upper 80's! It was a great day out there and the animals seemed happy to have a break from the 100 degree days!

Fireworks from our backyard

We had a great display of fireworks both Friday and Saturday nights here...Friday night, Everett and I went to the park to watch them (Friday was dedicated to all military personnel) and the display couldn't have been better...after the philharmonic stopped playing, the rest were put to music and it was fantastic!

Saturday is POURED and we had quite the thunderstorm that afternoon...the show went on, but with scattered lightening, we stayed home and watched the show from our patio out back! Hope everyone else had a great 4th of July weekend!

My Scrapbooking Space

This is one of my favorite rooms in our house! MY CRAFT SPACE! I have chosen to do all white furniture and have plans on painting the walls pink/brown or a pink and green color combo...However, we are planning on moving anytime from now to 1 year from now....whenever we find the right place so I have held off on the painting. My desk and most of my cubes came from Target, other shelving came from Lowe's. The floor to ceiling stamp shelf I made myself, although it is full and I need to make another one :) As you can see the pile of blankets on the floor are for my dogs....they are always wherever I am! The other wall not pictured has the closet...I have taken the closet doors off and that is where my computer, TV, etc. reside along with more white shelving and my paper tower! Hope you like it!

My version of the Clip-It-Up

I bought this old necklace display a few years back and forgot I even had it! Found it when I was cleaning out my scraproom and voila! It makes the perfect place to hang up some of my embellies to save drawer space and so I don't forget to use them! Plenty of room to hang more :)

Water puppy!

So here is Oreo doing his water treadmill therapy! Isn't he cute! It has been really fun to watch him during the sessions; luckily they didn't mind the camera! Of course I HAD to get pics of this to scrap! He has been 6 times so far and he has 4 sessions left; then they will re-measure his muscle mass - fingers crossed that this has helped him regain some muscle mass and strength!

Thank you Crystal!

I feel so special to get a couple of blog awards and have more followers than I ever expected. Thank you all! Glad you all stop by to check out my creations!
