The loss of an amazing buddy :( Vinci

Vinci truly mans best friend.
My dog Vinci of I think 8 years passed away on May 18th 2012. A month today. I am finally finding the courage to do this. If you know me, you know I have no children & love love animals. My two dogs & cat are my kids. I love them ever so much. Vinci was sick & I took him to the vet where he passed away that horrible Friday morning while they were trying to do blood work on him. They couldn't even get a i.v. in him he was so sick. I then found out he had developed a rare disease called immune medicated hymolytic anemia. They don't know what causes it It's where the immune system attacks the red blood cells & kills them like they are a virus or sickness . He had less than 5% of blood cells left of what he was supposed to & they couldn't even get a vein to do a blood transfusion. :( It was a very sad day for me I couldn't even go to work. It was truly like losing a family member. He slept under the covers with me for the last 8 years. WE love you & miss you Vinci.

 Up the canyon for a fun day & dad carved our family name in the tree.

This is the day before I took him to the vet, it makes me sooo sad. I sent it to mike to show him how sick he was. I had put a cold wash cloth on him to cool him down. 

You will be forever remembered Vinci, a very amazing cuddle buddy, friend, guard dog, & baby.

Lazy sunday + things I have made recently + Ricky's Birthday & up Nebo

Today has been pretty great so far....

Started out with a very yummy big breakfast & is going on with us cuddling the dogs & staying in our jim jams all day!

Yesterday I crafted in the morning.(After I scavenged through a abandoned house & got some great finds. With permission.  )

Last night we headed up the canyon, a bit of roasting hot dogs, marshmallows, potato salad & fun with puppies & family!

Thursday was ricks Birthday we headed to his grave & sent some messages on balloons to him. 

Oh how I love my little family so so much. 

This is a grocery list book I made with the help of Jamie John & her store  R.Y.M.

I just typed up things I usually buy, when I need them I highlight them & then check them off when I go shopping. It has a spot for Birthdays, To Do list & my work schedule also! I love it, it is so nice. 

I will be helping R.Y.M. with a Monthly craft. This is the next one coming.

Instructions & step by step tut coming soon. 

This fun & crazy Crayon art didn't turn out quite as pretty as I wanted, but still fun. 

This is one of the things I found in that house, it was just plain not painted.

 I turned into a chalkboard, I already know the saying I'm going to put on it. 

Who being Loved is poor?

I love it, it turned out quite nice.

Air Plants

Air plants come in many different shapes & sizes, they don't need soil. 

I just water mine about twice a week, I take them out of the jars & put them in a dish with water overnight & then shake & return to jar. You can find them fairly cheap on Ebay. I bought the jars for a dollar each at Dollar Tree & the twine at a craft store. I bought them in bulk(for way cheap) I made a set for me, my mom, sister-in-law.

They are so cool, you can even glue them to things.

This is where I found the idea, I obviously modified it.

Cricut Fun!

A jar for goodies, or money.

It's kinda lite, but I didn't want it to look tacky.

We get a ton of Soliciting & I hate it, but I wanted to put a funny spin on it.

Good luck Cal!

Mikes brother Cal has just taken a job where we will see him very little, he will be in another state working.(Just like my brother :( )

I think Mike is sad, Cal is his best friend. We went up the canyon to hang with them & wish him luck. :)
