Hi all

Well it's been such a long time since i last blogged and i have so much to tell you but i will try and keep it short and sweet

Firstly we have a new member of our family a little Jack Russell puppy she is now 15 weeks old again she is my Daughters dog but stays with me during the day whilst Helen works, she is such a cutie but very mischievous 

We have also been very busy in the garden building a new bird room for me, it has been hard work as the site had to be dug and levelled etc but i have the most wonderful husband who has worked on it none stop with me at his side but I'm not sure if i was a help or a hindrance lol, we still have a lot to do to straighten the garden up and remove the rubbish that was dug out but i love it, and the birds do too as no sooner as they were moved in they built nests and laid eggs within a day lol 

Anyway lets get back to crafting :) 

my first card is for this months new challenge over at 

Our theme chosen by Jo is 

TO USE KRAFT CARD

R.I.P Lucy

Our hearts are broken as we said farewell to our beautiful dog Lucy today.

She was a wonderful dog always up to mischief, loved to chase away the cats and pigeons in the garden but was also so loving & affectionate, loved a cuddle.

She had a beautiful send off and died peacefully and calmly in her Mom & Dads arms with Nanny & Grampy by her side.

Now over the Rainbow Bridge chasing those cats and pigeons to her hearts content 

She will be greatly missed
