Beautiful cards and gorgeous puppies!

What a fun week!!!  Thursday night was my friend Kim's club night.  She invited me, and of course I just had to go.  Then Friday night was April's Fall card class... and oohhhh it was so much fun!!! 9 women on a sugar high at my house. Could you believe the pups slept through the whole thing?!?! And we were NOT being quiet!!! HAHAHAH!!!

Well... here are the gorgeous cards.  Brought to you by April Prachniak, Stampin' Up Demo Extrodinaire!!!  You can reach her at;  http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/mystampplace/

And this was just absolutely wonderful... how beautiful!!!! 

And now, onto some puppy love!!!  We "had" a pretty big garden in the back yard that was coming to it's end. The kids, as you can see, was having a great time being explorers in this vast overgrown field;

 This tree is in my front yard and for the life of me, can't figure out why they both love to scratch and eat the bark off of the tree.
