Happy New Year!

Well the New Year has begun! Jessie has been wanting a cat for a long time and we finally were able to convince John, it was the thing to do. So "Buddy" joined our family the week before Christmas. He is such a great cat. Buddy has adapted to Jess' room and usually doesn't hide when I come in. I'm trying to get him to venture out, but want to keep the dogs at bay while he adjusts. Trigger has been very curious about this new "creature". I think Trigger thinks we got him a new toy to play with and doesn't understand why he can't play with Buddy! John also got a new pet. His is a bit larger! His name is Dakota. We adopted Dakota because the past owner was afraid to ride him because he kept on bucking every time you got on. So John has been working with him and as you can see, John is still on and Dakota hasn't once tried to buck him off! I'm glad of that! We've actually had him for a while, but it's been way too cold for me to go out and visit with him. That snow just doesn't seem to want to melt!

Well I finally got to play a bit with some of the new things I got from the Sale-a-Bration and Occasions Mini. I cased this from Splitcoast (Kristin Moore). Used the same colors (Soft Suade, Rich Razzleberry, Sahara Sand, Whisper White), but changed the emblossing folder and used a butterfly die cut. Tried out one of the new punches (Scallop Trim Border from the Salebration). Also, just to let you know. My Technique class scheduled for this Friday is being moved to next week. It will be on Thursday at 7pm. Hope to see you there. Make sure you RSVP if you're attending! Cyndy
