Beemer

Sleepy.

This is what happens when Ella spends the night with Gran & Poppy. Beemer misses her. ...

I mean Ella. Oh, there she is... Amidst fifteen or so rubbermaid containers in my dining room overflowing with Christmas decorations!And I forgot to post this picture last night. My precious girls having some last minute snuggle time before bed. ...

Beemer, too

In case you didn't know, everybody loves this bed. ...

Don’t Make A Mess!

Y'all, seriously. I don't know what to do about this dog! I've hired a "dog walker" - Karson, my cousin - to play with her every afternoon and she still creates this mess a few days a week. She's running out of things to destroy in my laundry room. The funniest part about this whole saga is Ella's reaction when we get home in the afternoons. The laundry room is one of the only doors in the house that she can open without assistance. She turns the knob and marches in to see what mess is waiting. It would be SO much better if you could hear her sweet voice, but she either says "Beemer no make a mess!" or " Beemer make a mess!" It is so cute that I have a really hard time being upset with the dog in the process. Today Ella saw the mess, made her declaration and promptly put her hands on ...

Lots to do

I'm sorry that I'm being less entertaining than usual this week... heck maybe I wasn't entertaining to begin with. Did you know that Baker's Farm Cotton Pickin' Celebration is in three days? Yikes! Just like in college, I'm burning the midnight oil. I got lots done today, so I can't complain. I just need to learn to work a little faster and get started a little sooner. All in all, the merch is coming together quite nicely and I hope you buy it all. Today, I planned on being home by 4:30 and crafting by 4:35. Ella had other plans. She & Beemer wanted to play outside. So, what do you think we did? Here are a few cute pics of our hour in the sun. Then, we came in and got to work!

Indestructible?

Remember that dog bed that was virtually indestructible? Well, I came home to this today. The mattress has a five year warranty... wonder if this qualifies? Being destroyed by a 75 pound dog probably doesn't qualify as normal wear and tear. Not to mention it came from a yard sale. Does anybody want a dog? Seriously. If she can tear this up, she can do anything. She also ate my pine cones (that I planning on decorating with awfully soon) and a box that I needed to ship some invitations this week. Some of my favorite shoes were also strewn around, luckily she wasn't that dumb. I'm hoping the new chew toys I bought tonight are enough to distract her tomorrow. I cleaned it up and mended it the best I could. Replaced it with another crib sheet. Said a small prayer. Oh, and while I was ...

Creature Comforts

Sorry... no pictures of Ella today, but I did want to show you these funnies. For those of you who don't know, Beemer was our first baby. She is a five year old weimaraner that we bought right before our first wedding anniversary. Josh always had a dog growing up and I never did. Since he wanted one, I got to pick the breed. I had always admired these grey ghosts and in no time at all we had a sweet one to call our own. She used to have the run of the house, but since Ella was born she is very mischievous and likes to get into things she shouldn't. We often come home to half-eaten socks and underwear, chewed up shoes and her snuggled up with throw pillows on the couch. We made the laundry room hers and bought her a big cushy bed, then locked her in every day while we were at work. Now ...
