Clean pups, new fabric and some birthday show-offs

Buttons and Gabe are just back from their grooming appointment today... smelling so fresh...
adorned with cute little pumpkin/ Halloween bandanas...
Our fabulous groomer Margie always has them so beautifully coiffed after their monthly visit with her.
They are pretty pooped, though... trying to catch an extra nap.
I still remember a funny thing the late George Carlin said... "What does a dog do on his day off?... He can't sleep... that's his job!"... love it... so true...

The postman brought some new MODA fabric today... I can't wait to incorporate these yummy pieces into my collage work. These are from the new ETCHINGS collection. I adore that aqua color...

I got such wonderful birthday surprises last week from some of my awesome, creative pals.
These fabulous handmade cards and envelopes came from dearest Cathy, Linda  and Tonya.  Each of these talented gals could surely market their designs... they are just delicious...

Tonya sent the most gorgeous mailart package... I would have photographed it, but I have cut it apart to use in my journal... luscious... Tucked inside was a delightful bracelet... and oh, how I adore jewelry... especially with charms...

Cathy and her hubby Jerry collaborated to design and execute this spectacular bird journal, made of great watercolor paper and fabulous "girly" embellishments... can't wait to dream up ways to fill it with mixed media magic.



How does a girl get lucky enough to have such talented and generous buds???
 I'm yet to celebrate more later this week.  I think I am having a "birthday month".  
As I look over at handsome, clean and sleepy Buttons and Gabe... I know life really is good.
