So I have decided that it must be time for me to down tools, have a couple weeks off from crafting and hopefully start creating some decent stuff.

Happy Crafting

I think he looks cute, but he does not seem too impressed :) .

Ever thought about getting a greyhound as a pet?  I highly recommend them.  K.D is the most docile amd gentle creature.  He is just like a lap dog, just 10 times bigger.  K.D lives happily beside our two cats, Sox & Taffy and 3 silkie chickens Mario (has gender confusion:)), Rocky & Gingy.  Though there is a waiting list if you want a cat friendly greyhound.  Another great reason to get a greyhound as a pet is to save their lives.  Mostly in the greyhound racing industry once a greyhound is deemed ‘unviable’ they get a bullet to the head.  Such a shame to have that happen to these beautiful and loving animals.
The GAP (Greyhound Adoption Program) fosters greyhound, access the hounds suitability to live in a loving home and does some basic training.  Then match the dogs with a suitable family.  Click here for the GAP program in Victoria Australia or google for one in your state / country.

Tomorrow at my sons kindergarten I will be making this card with 22 preschoolers.  I have made it super simple so the kids can have fun having a go with my sizzix running through their choice of embossing folder.  Next I will get them to draw a picture on the inside and that will be the kinder kids Mothers Day card done – Wish me Luck :) .
I pre-made the heart emblishments using my Carl Heart Punch.  Next I have used red Kinder Glitz to make it look sparkly.  Hope the kids will enjoy making this card.
