All I Want For Christmas!

Ok, so this super awesome "Chuckles" calender from Dooce isn't ALL that I want for Christmas....but I would be super happy if I did get it!! :) Hint, hint for those readers who also happen to be my Christmas list buyers. :)

Shrinky Dinks Project From Making It Lovely

Wow, it has been awhile since I've heard of shrinky dinks - not since the days of my youth when we made them using our scribbles, but just look at what Making It Lovely has accomplished using them. Marvelous! Both ideas are splendid! We are always forking over our keys to a dog sitter while we are away and have you seen a cuter dog tag?! Oh the possibilities!

Visit Making It Lovely for further instructions and photos about this project!

Making Walking the Dog In the Rain A Breeze

Every dog owner has had one of those rainy spring mornings, trying to balance your dog (or dogs!) leashes, keep your foot holding on the wet grass and sidewalks AND balance an umbrella over you head. Usually a recipe for disaster and no matter what - you get wet. You only have so many hands - one for the leash, one for the umbrella - and, uh-oh - now you need one to be neighborly and actually properly dispose of your pooches morning duties. Sigh. What's a girl to do?!

Well, look what I found via the wonderful pet blog, PetSugar, a hands-free umbrella! Haven't actually bought one myself, as we now live in a house with a fenced in backyard and no longer need to brave the elements for those everyday walks. Now, when it's rainy, we just shove the dogs out the door and watch - hehe! But if I would have known about such an apparatus back in our apartment dwelling days you better believe I would have been one of the first to snatch one up!
