My creative sidekick...

Just like Batman had Robin and Peanut Butter has Jelly, I have a creative sidekick...my niece Taylor...(loving that toothless grin!) She has been wanting to come over and spend the day in my craft room for some time. My brother (her dad) called me over the weekend to ask if she could come over to make a special project...
She wanted to make a book about her super sweet dog, Dutch. They had to put Dutch down on New Years Eve. Dutch was the sweetest Weimaraner you would ever meet. Mike and I both thought this would be a great tool for the healing process. It was nice to see her share the pictures with me, telling me stories about Dutch. She made a couple pages of him. Here is a peek at one in the beginning stages... We love you Dutch. You will be missed. I went to Borders recently and purchased THIS book for the kids. My brother said the kids found comfort in it, especially the part where it says that the dogs are always by their sides and that they get dog treats in Heaven. :)

Okay. Off to get some crafting done since I'm snowed in. Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, and the winner from the last post is...JESS (Email me with your address and I'll get some goodies out to you!)
