Maddi's New Bed

A recent pic of my lil fur baby relaxing on her new bed and matching blanket. This set also came with a pink plush lil doggy doll which Maddi loves way too much. She brings it with her everywhere she goes and sleeps with it every night. Doesn't she look adorable? My hubby spoils her rotten. He came home with two of these plush beds, matching blankets and doggy dolls. Maddi now has 5 beds all over the house. What a princess!

I'm Back!

First day back from Puerta Vallarta. I'm sunburnt, peeling and have 7 misquito bites but I had a FAB time in Mexico! Will post pix soon. I missed my fur baby like crazy. Off to pick her up :)

Moving to the US!!!

I have some big news! I'm moving to the US!! Hubby recently got a promotion. I'm sooo proud of my man :) Bye bye Toronto, Ontario...Hellooo Houston, Texas!! No more cold long winters! Lots of fab shopping! I can't wait to check out all the craft shops. There are also some yummy restaurants hubby and I are looking forward to trying. I'm gonna miss our home. Hubby and I watched it get built and have lived in it for just over a year. No more big craft room. Hopefully our new home in Houston will have a big craft room *crossing fingers & toes*. Our current home is also in a nice neighborhood and we have great neighbors. We do get to go house hunting which will be fun :) I would love to have a pool :) Big move, big changes...I'm looking forward to what the future has in store for us :)
