ella. hello gorgeous

Have you seen the Bella Rouge line by Pink Paislee?  I was lucky enough to get one of the large paper pads--the weight of the paper is nice, I am used to a little heavier and decided I needed to layer the sheets up:

the Hello Gorgeous card is what inspired this WHOLE page--I knew I had this funny picture of our dog Ella (she is a Vizsla)--she is a CLOWN; she really loves the crown on her head AND getting her picture taken. (this was on her 4th birthday).   She is my buddy (along with her other hairy side kick Dakota--the miniature schnauzer--who we call grumpy grandma, she's 13-she's earned it).  She likes to be in what ever room I am in, if I haven't paid enough attention to her in about a half an hour or so she will come over and look at me, curious what I am doing.  I've never had a dog like this one--she cracks me up!

As you can tell I am a dog person, always have been.  In fact when I was little, when we weren't allowed to have a dog, I would check out books about dogs from the library and study them to see what kind of dog would be the best breed.  Every once in a while I would approach my dad with ideas...Until one day I was gifted a puppy--he wasn't too excited about it.  But he is a BIG softy we caught him a week later feeding her candy cane!  She was one of the BEST dogs we ever had and she was a mixed breed...

I'm off and running--AGAIN!  Thanks so much for the visit!
