Tired...so tired

So ..I am guessing the reason I am tired is because my darling youngest daughter decided that she would wake up and STAY AWAKE at 5:30 this morning...good thing Brad left for work at 6:45am, the company was nice. Thankfully she went to sleep after she had her little drinkie:)

Maybe the reason I am so tired is also because I haven't had a good night's sleep in 6 months because of back pain--bah--I guess I should go get it looked at, a tad bit stubborn , I say.







I finished a few more hand sketched cards this week, as well as some tags that i completed a bit ago.

Scrapfest!

I atteneded Scrapfest at the Kitchener Aud on April 12, 2008 and LOVED IT! I didn't spend alot of money but got a few good deals on patterned paper from The Memory Mill, i loved the booth!

I will definetely be going back next year!

Here is what I made Saturday night!

Pets-Part of our Families

Trianna-adopted by family, she only has 3 legs, but she is quick and she is the most loving cat ever:O
Percy-found abandoned at one of the barns at the farm, now one of the family at the farm:O, he is spoiled!

Tibby-found as a stray, we now have her as the "baby" of the house.

A few days back i had a few free minutes to actually catch something interesting on tv......{imagine that} and I was so moved by what I saw, I had to tell about it.

Im not sure what I did more,,cry, curse, or put it on mute.

It is so difficult to understand why some people seem to think it is acceptable to keep animals confined and limited to the surroundings fro the sake of earning a few extra dollars...I can think of so many more ways to make an honest living and be able to hold your head up high because of it. I would be so ashamed and embarrassed to know of anyone that does this.



At first, I was shocked. Then shocked turned to disbeleif, ..disbeleif turned to anger, then of course, my anger turned to crying.



I have always heard of people referring to puppy mills, how awful their conditions are, but I guess I never realized how terrible it actually was. The whole theory, "out of sight, out of mind" existed with me up to this point. Not anymore.



The day I watched Oprah, they had saved just under 40 dogs from puppy mills in the United States. -40 saved,,thousands more still there...makes me sad.

Remembering

I had a real "eye-opener" this past week.

I created this card to remind me and others that sometimes life goes by so fast, at times, cut short way too soon.

If I learned anything from the week, it is to appreciate who I have in my life even more, take the time to think of the people who have made an impact in my life, and even the ones I didn't know personally, who made a difference just the same.

Take the time to think of someone today and thank them for who they are to you...
