Dogs are natural comics!

Howdy - doo!

American slang for 'how are you?'

Ah, the inner workings of a pet's mind.

Who can tell what they are really thinking?

Sometimes their little jokes are misunderstood....

Sometimes their thoughts can get sinister....

but really, it's all a misunderstanding!

But that's okay! We LOVE to make up!

Sometimes pets have to remind their people what the rules are:

Sometimes they put up with their silly people with great patience...

But when all is said and done,

we love them to bits,

with all of their oddities, and quirks

and silly sense of humor!

Here's to the life of a well-treated pet!

Valentine Paper Doll Fun

Valentine Paper Doll Fun

Today I want to share some Paper Doll Fun with a Valentine Theme.

So we will start off with a Turtle of Love!!!

This is a great paper doll to make your own 'shells' for!

Just trace around the outside of one of the costumes,

and you have the area for you to draw in.

Here's another fun paper doll -

'Nallemamma'

c. Satumaa, 2004

that means you can use this for personal use only

found on www.origamibears.com

I love her little bloomer undies,

and the hearts on the cooking apron!

printable valentine card from the Denver Zoo

Since I've started with funny animal Valentines,

here's another!

I do love piggies!

I have seriously considered a Vietnamese pot bellied pig to adopt.

Unfortunately, my husband did not take it serious!

That's okay.

Here's a cute lil' kittie -

I have a note on this file 'orr'.

That could be the name of the artist, not sure.

from www.collectibles.about.com

Those look like fuzzy hearts to me!

Don't forget, you can easily personalize printed valentines with 

some glue and flocking.

You can also add your own stickers,

or embellish with markers!

www.vintageholidaycrafts.com

Wouldn't she look lovely with some glitter in her feather,

or a 'real' pearl stick on or two in her hair decoration?

Put little dots of glitter glue in the center of the blue flowers....

what can you come up with?

You can have some fun with this Valentine Card paper doll -

If mailing this Barbie Beauty,

include some stickers!

This base doll also is a great one to make your own clothes with,

the body shape is a good one.

I would cut slits along her shoulders up to her neck

for easier clothes placement.

You can slip the tabs under her hair then.

Here's another Valentine card to send -

This one has a notation that says 'peltier bear'.

??

There is a note on the card that it is from Current,

so for personal use only.

and my last Valentine card for today -

I would have loved to receive this when I was a girl!

If you can fit it into your envelope, or use a padded envy,

include an inexpensive package of crayons too!

Here are a couple more pictures for your own

handmade valentines,

see the directions in yesterday's 2/2/13 blog

My Funny Valentine

Hope you are entering into the spirit of LOVE!!

until next blog,

The softer side of fall

Hello!

www.amberalexander.etsy.com

I am kind of super busy today, getting ready for my

BIG CRAFT SALE at the Adams County Fairground,

FALL FESTIVAL CRAFT FAIR

Saturday, October 1,

9am - 4pm

I need to run to XPedX to pick up some packaging for my items,

cut another 100 at least business cards,

help my son pack up as he is moving tomorrow,

finish at least one beaded bracelet before Saturday

get my display set up at home, to make sure all fits,

and hopefully get a few more 'ribbons' finished.

These are made from an Art Nouveau Alphabet that I have tweaked, resized, tweaked some more and printed, then hand colored each letter.

Yeah, really.

 These are NOT decals, rub ons, etc. I have hand colored each one with art pens! 

I have the sets ready to go, I "just" need to put them on ribbons, add the ribbon embellishments, and back them with cardstock!!!

I do really like how they look however.

any-who-how,

www.purlnecklace.etsy.com

I would like to share with you today an Etsy Treasury that I have put together.

"The softer side of fall"

I have to say, this might be the 'most favorite' treasury I have ever done.

www.GlassRiverJewelry.etsy.com

The colors are just soothing to my creative spirit.

I am sorry I don't have time to list each item individually.

www.meinradyoung.etsy.com

You can see the treasury here:

http://www.etsy.com/treasury/NTc2MTA5M3w2ODUzNTMwMzI/the-softer-side-of-fall

You should be able to just click on the link above,

and your computer will whisk you away to the treasury!

www.thelittlechickadee.etsy.com

All of my photos today are from this treasury,

with the exception of the bottlecap ribbons that I have made.

Take a peek, and enjoy!

(with a nice cup of Maxwell House International cafe - hazelnut is a perfect !)
