Love Across the Pond!

Well happy Monday all my crafty friends! Here is hoping you had a fabulous weekend and are still enjoying the dog days of summer and maybe some last summer trips before the glory of fall sets in! We have a camping trip coming up and I so look forward to it! Of course, for campers, fall is also fabulous for camping and enjoy the changing of the guard in Mother Nature's court! LOL I pray everyone's kiddos have gotten off to a wonderful new school year!!

Today, I am going to share an overdue post (like a week and half overdue!)! I feel so terrible about it, but it's a testament to how crazy my last month has been. For the month of July, my Tag Swap partner was Tracy Woodsford from Australia! Tracy always uses such beautiful colors with her art, which is one of a kind! I can always tell a piece is hers when it's posted! She's so creative!

My tag is in true Tracy form with all of those gorgeous colors and some love doodling! Tracy wrote "turn your face to the sun," and so I shall on my upcoming camping trip! This is a sweet tag Tracy, thank you so much!

Along with my tag, Tracy gifted me with some really yummy papers that she made, I believe, with her Gelli plate as well as gifted me with some fabulou book pages that are from foreign books! I love foreign papers and I will use them sparingly because I think they are so cool! I get stingy with the cool stuff because I don't want to cover it up!! LOLOL But that being said, I will find a way to use them in my project to make them stand out! Again, Tracy, thank you thank for my lovely tag and RAK items! "Tardy" should have probably been my middle name!! LOLOL Apologies my friend!:)

Last week our family said goodbye to a most beloved pet our Jack Russell Terrier name Blaze. She was the most precious pup around. We got Blaze when our oldest daughter was born and they grew up together. She was 15. She had been sick for some time and we knew she would soon be in "doggie heaven," but one always hopes they will pull through and be with us forever!

When our oldest daughter was a little thing she would love to go around perking her lips and wanting "smooches" from us all....it was too cute! Blaze was happy to oblige and the two shared lot's of slobber!! LOLOL That may gross many of you out, but it was the sweetest thing ever to see that sweet pup love on her! My girls will both miss their little buddy as will my husband and I, so I thought I would share this cute picture today that I nabbed from the internet of a pup that looks remarkably like ours did! Happy Dog Days of Summer my friends!

Blessings for a fabulous day! :)
