highlights of a Saturday!

Been a good day.
Am getting used to the very bright highlights I got done yesterday!

I did like Jennifer's suggestion of blue one's
and have tried purple before but they didn't show up in my hair....

Back to cards.....

I tinkered with this one using Sammi's Angelique.
I straightened the layered image and added the vellum flowers in each corner.

I am going to enter it into Cute Card Thursday which is Angels and Fairies.


Two sketch challenges were done while Andrew slept this afternoon.

This one is for a spoonful of sugar and is a sketch by Trina.



This one is for the secret crafter's Saturday Challenge.
Sketch is by Wendy.


My sentiment is stamped onto the ribbon its self.

Took Poppy-dog into pets at home today to get her some dog treats,
and work on lead work in public places.
She did very well.
There was a lot of commands given, and many times told her "No" "leave"
when she was sniffing at all the doggy treats but she didn't take anything she wasn't ment to.
I picked up three medium raw hide bones and gave her one to carry.

As we were walking to the till an older lady dropped her purse ,
Poppy picked it up and when I said "give" she handed it to me with no hassle!
I wiped off the slavers..... and gave it to the lady!
This is the part in dog class and more so at home she throws whatever she has in her mouth around and try's to run off with it!

The lady and folk watching ( and I must admit myself) were all very impressed!!!

The lady then wanted to buy her a dog sweet as a reward but I said she had plenty, and could give her one of Poppy's own treats that I had in my pocket.

So fun over and she picked up her bone and we went to pay for our items.
The lady at the tills asked how she was behaving , I said very well most of the time ,
and she informed me Labradors are teenagers from 1 to 3 years.....

Only another 18 months or so to go then!

Command "paws up" Poppy stood up at counter and dropped her bone to be scanned!!!
Paws down is to stop her jumping up and she only does paws up when I tell her she can....
as she is a wee pincher!!!
Then she was instructed to collect her bone after the lady at the till gave her a biscuit too!
This shopping lark is much more fun with a Labrador.
