This afternoon I am taking little Jess to the Vets to be checked out and wormed. She is a little darling and settling down nicely, she is a feisty little girl who seems to be afraid of very little, lol.

She does love to lie by me on the sofa while I am on the computer and at this moment she is asleep.

Once again many thanks for all you wonderful messages.

Hi all, I am a tad late with posting my DT card so big apologies.

The challenge this week at

is

CHRISTMAS CARDS

Here is mine using the image from sheet no; 376 

I have used promarkers to colour this beautiful image, the colours are my all time favourite, Pink and Brown, the papers are from Bearly Mine Designs (link in sidebar).

I have used gold textured mirri card to mount the papers and image onto, I used a SU punch down the side of one of the card and a corner punch to round off the corners.  I have added pearls and a ribbon/flower embellishment.  The ribbon I tied myself and teased it into a rosette style flower, I added a large pink flower for the centre topped with a gold punched circle and pearl.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

CHRISTMAS STAMPIN ALL YEAR - ANYTHING GOES

2 SISTERS CHALLENGE BLOG - PASTEL CHRISTMAS

FUSSY AND FANCY FRIDAY CHALLENGE - FLOWERS AND PEARLS

Before I go I just have to say how overwhelmed I am with all the awesome comments that I have received for both the loss of my beloved Polo and the arrival of tiny Jess.

I have shed so many tears reading them all plus the wonderful e-cards and e-mails.  I will never be able to tell you how much you all mean to me, the support, friendship, kindness and encouragement have made me feel full of love and hope.

I want to reply to you all which will take time so I just wanted to let you know that I have not ignored you but my eyes are quite sore and red with all the tears that I have shed.

I love you all you are all very special to me, Polo and Little Jess.

INTRODUCING JESSIE THE JACK RUSSELL PUP

Hi all, today I would like you all to meet my new little baby Jessie.

My son bought this little lady home to me yesterday, she is an 8 week old Jack Russell, she is soooooo tiny.  She has more markings than my darling Polo had but she does have a black spot on her tail/bum just like my beloved Po.

I have given her my Steiff Bear to keep her company in her dog bed until I can get more stuff for her.

My mum has fallen in love with her and spends a lot of time holding her while she sleeps, it is a good job that mum only comes to stay at weekends or I think Jess would think that it is my mum who is her new owner, lol.

I have been grieving for my darling Po so much and I believe a part of me died inside when he had to leave me.

I know that Jess will be spoilt rotten and receive so much love that it will be tumbling over her.

Once again I would like to thank all of you for your wonderful comments they have really helped me so much.

I am hoping to start blogging again later today and will be taking time to visit you all, until then have a lovely weekend.
