Why do I have a big dog? Remind me please...

I am seriously wondering why in the world I wanted this big dog. Let me rephrase that... DH wanted the big MALE dog, while I wanted another female.

Our yard is a MESS- mud everywhere. There is NO PLACE for the dogs to go that does not involve mud. The puppy (all 80 lbs of him) just took off in the yard and managed to hit EVERY mud puddle he could.

So I drag his butt back in the house and right into my bathtub. DH is of course NOT home today. (He is at a swim meet.) This dog LOVES water. However, the minute I turn on the shower, he freaks and tears out of the tub. Now I am soaking wet and so is my entire bathroom. Off come all of my wet clothes... back into the shower with the darn dog. I finally get him clean after wrestling him for 10 minutes in the shower. Of course I wasn't prepared and didn't have a towel to dry him off. So he takes off out of the bathroom.

My bathroom is now soaking wet from top to bottom... I have a full load of laundry to do thanks to his little escapade. Why did we name him Romeo? Not feeling the love right now... LOL.
Ok... feel better now that I got that out!

New Paper Company- CRATE PAPER

One of the amazing perks from being on the Design team at Croppin Paradise was being able to preview this BRAND NEW paper from a BRAND NEW company called Crate Paper. They are debuting this week at CHA and let me tell you... this paper is AMAZING!!!! The texture and quality of the paper is incredible. Here is a Layout I did using the Taylor Collection:

This paper will be available through Croppin Paradise soon!

I also was sent some of the brand new Basic Grey. I am hoping to play with some of that this afternoon. It was like Christmas when my package came. Be sure to check out more sneak peaks at Croppin Paradise!

Design Team Dreams... :)

I am so speechless right now... (hard to believe!) I have been applying for DT for almost a year now. I haven't been fortunate to be selected. Now, in the matter of two days, I have been chosen for two teams. I couldn't be more thrilled! The two sites are very different, and I am so excited to be part of BOTH teams. Looks like I am done applying for DTs! :)

I was feeling pretty crummy lately, and threw myself into my scrapbooking goals. I am feeling so fortunate to have these two opportunities. Now I need to get back in my scraproom and get to creating!!!! :)

DESIGN TEAM DREAM!!!

As some of you know, one of my goals for 2006 was to on a Design Team. This is something that I have wanted to do for sometime. I have applied here and there... but not consistently. Over break, I decided I was going to start submitting more. Looks like it paid off...

I am so excited to be part of the team! There were many talented ladies who applied. I don't know all of the details just yet... but I am hoping to have a great experience! I can't wait to get started!
