We had a fun Saturday starting with our first look at these 2 week old Standard Schnauzer puppies! We get the first pick & there are 4 black boys to choose from. Of course, I'll want to take them all home, but one will certainly be enough for these old folks to handle! 
They're so soft & tiny & sweet. It'll be fun to see how much they've grown in size & personality when we see them again in 2 weeks. Now we have to get serious about which name we're going to give him--hard to decide. Next we visited hubby's daughter & family. It's been quite awhile so was good we had some time together. One yr old 89 pound Harvey was quite the contrast--LOL! 
He loves having more people around to give him attention, so I really got my puppy fix today. 
Getting late & I didn't want to miss Merry Monday. I made this card 2 or 3 years ago but never liked the gold & white focal point so it was never mailed. I carefully removed it & replaced it with the Penny Black die cut leaves & the chipboard ornament from a dollar package at Michaels. The leaves were sprayed with gold Shimmer Spritz & the ornament was colored with Dylusions spray & gold Glimmer Mist. Now I like it much better so it can go in the box for next year. Thanks so much for your visit. I'll catch up with you soon.
OMG those puppies are the cutest ever. How will you ever choose just one. What fun to have a new puppy in the house.. Your card is delightful Greta. Great change.
ReplyDeleteYour card is very elegant with the purple and gold. And oh my goodness those puppies are just preciius. Thanks for sharing on both.
ReplyDeletePUPPIES! Eeeek :) We are thinking about getting a second dog, and it is really hard to resist those little paws & faces (hoping for an adult dog, lol) Love the purple & gold together on your card - such a great combo!
ReplyDeleteSwoon!! Those puppies are adorable!!! It'll be hard not to take more than one home with you:). Nice save on your card too!
ReplyDeleteOh wow you are going to busy soon with a new furry baby in the house, they look so adorable. I do the same, revamp older cards, it looks lovely :) I hope you show more photos of your chosen one as he grows. Cheers, Shirleyx
ReplyDeleteEeeeeeeee..PUPPIES! SCHNAUZER puppies! I'm literally happy dancing at how adorable these babies are, and one of them will be YOURS! Eeeeeee...what a lucky puppy he'll be (I'm with you, choosing just one will be a major challenge!), and how lucky you and your husband will be to have him. Soooo excited for you!! , I'm just beside myself thrilled...schnauzer puppies are the best!. Harvey looks like a sweet boy, too! And your card - purple and gold - pretty,+++! Going back to gaze at those puppies for a bit longer. Cute x cuddly x adorable!!! Hugs~c
ReplyDeleteI love that purple ornament, Greta! It's so pretty against that lattice! Thanks for sharing this and the babies with us at Merry Monday!
ReplyDeleteHello Greta,
ReplyDeleteI can see how one of these delightful animals is going to bring you so much Joy, adding some extra company, comfort , faithfulness, and of course unrequited love.
Your card is lovely and one can see how you have grown and developed in your card making as we all do from a few years ago; this is such a positive in so many ways.
Smiles:)

Your card is really lovely. It's great to see you doing what I do. I feel more human. I have cards that I remake too! I really like your PEACE too!~
ReplyDeleteLovely card Greta! And, why not take two puppies, they would be great company for one another! I still miss my two little Bichons and they were inseparable :) Double trouble and double joy :)

Thank you for sharing the sweet puppies and equally sweet Harvey. (What a great name for a dog!) I'm so thrilled for you to be getting a new fur baby (and a wee bit jealous!)! Your upcycled ornament card is so pretty, Great!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteMeant to say - I did say in the chicken pie recipe that I use frozen flaky/puff pastry. The days of making it from scratch are long gone!

Very pretty card greta! I love the golden letters placed vertically down the edge. Oooooh now moving on to those puppies!! How darn cute are they. tiny soft little sweethearts with puppy breath!! We met and picked out our little Max at 3 weeks old, brought him home with us at 7 weeks. That was a long month to wait. You must be on pins and needles my friend!! I remember the name issue too. He was to be mine but hubby & son wanted to put their two cents worth in...of course!! His official name is Maximus. Well Sir Maximus, our son put the Sir in there!! But he's my baby Max!! Good luck picking out his name can't wait for more photos and an official introduction!!! I know this little fella will gets LOTS of love from both you and Steve ;)
ReplyDeleteI like your card upgrade. Good to keep things around that we don't love the first time. Adorable puppies.
ReplyDeleteOh, those little puppies are just so stinkin' sweet! What did you end up naming yours? Your card is so sweet too, love the colors and those letter sticker bubbles, I have a few of those stashed away. I love how you used them. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card, Greta...I love all the dimension!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'll bet you're chomping at the bit to get one of those adorable puppies...so CUTE!
awww...I'm so excited for you! Love the pictures and your card is Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHey how about these Seahawks of yours hey?!!
lovely card, greta... and those puppies are just way too cute!
ReplyDeleteI think your Seahawks fan would love names like Russell or Wilson, or how about Malcolm or Smith? Seriously, I could see you with a puppy named Wilson. Ha ha ha! And your card is a pretty one, friend!
ReplyDeleteOoh those puppies remind me of our Sofia!! It's amazing how much they grow in a short period of time. Love the bright ornament on your pretty card!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Greta, and those puppies are soooooooooooooo adorable.
