saturday we welcomed into our home "cookie".
he is a basset hound. lemon and white.
He was 8 weeks old sunday and so LAZY.
it's awesome that lauren is so at peace with him.
he doesn't jump and he loves to be rubbed.
this is saturday night: lauren wanted to sleep with him.
and can you believe she gave him one of her 1000's of stuffed animals?

this is sunday morning.
yes he woke us up at 6:00 am.
needless to say we were early for church.

this is cookie saturday once we got back from picking him up.

so this is for you tammy (frugalscrapper) looks like cookie love CROCs too. lmao

aw! so SWEET. i love his personality. lazy and content.

look at that face..... so cute!

now to just get him to quit peeing on my carpet.

but that will take time and patience.

PAY IT FORWARD challenge

Have you heard of "Pay It Forward"?
This has been going around the blogs at the moment and now it's my turn.
I was lucky enough to be one of the first three people to comment on the Oscar's Blog and now I will receive a handmade gift from her. . I can't wait. I am so excited.

And now I must keep the challenge going and this is how it works:
The first three people to comment on this post {who would like to be involved in the Pay It Forward Challenge} will receive a handmade gift from me. All you have to do is keep the fun challenge going by agreeing to create three handmade gifts for three more people, hence the term "Pay it Forward".


So what are you waiting for?
