Happy New Year!

2015 already has come to an end, time does really fly!
We ended our year with a sad note, we lost our 15 year old Lucky. He was not ill, and his passing away was very unexpected, but all of a sudden he stopped eating and drinking and he passed away quickly without too much suffering. We have a lot of old dogs now and we are mentally preparing ourselves for loosing them, Lucky was the 4th we lost in the past 14 months and it has been hard. We still have 10 at home so a lot of consolation, but the thought of loosing them is really hard.

On the bright side, a new year, new plans to fulfill, new ideas and dreams to become reality.
A new year always makes us stop and think about improvements, do you have any big plans or dreams to chase in 2016?

Wishing everyone a Healthy, Happy and Peaceful New Year!

A Lovely Surprise

With my mum being ill for the past 5 days, a woman scratching my car while she was talking to her phone and driving like a lunatic, my finger got badly burned with boiling water and on top of that the hours have changed so that the days are short and evenings dark I'm very glad to also have some positive things going on :) A little while back I got the wonderful news that I won this beautiful art piece by Francesca Lancesi.

It arrived beautifully and carefully packaged, along with all kind of other yummy things.

Her work is exactly my style so I was very happy that after my first visit on her blog I won her giveaway. I really want to create an Etsy wall, with all my artwork from different Etsy artists!

I also received gorgeous cards and bookmarks, to see more of her work visit her Etsy shop.

Introducing: Lucky

This sweet sleeping lamb is Lucky. He has been with us since 14 may 2003
By that time everybody in our circle of aquintances knew that we are softies when it comes to dogs and several people tried and suceed to 'unload' a dog with us.

Lucky, (he had already that name) had belonged to a russian woman here that went back to her country, leaving the dog behind. A neighbour took pity and asked us to take him.

He was in a sorry state, with infected ears and anus and wounds from encounters with other dogs. He is very, very sweet, but would be better in a house with not as many dogs, because he is, yes, rather the underdog.

He loves to be held and hugged and sit on your lap and get attention without so much competition.

The Lucky Winner is...

....Number 182, MtnLaurel!!!

She had the lucky winning Lottery number drawn by MistyAurora, live at the EuropeanStreetTeam forum!!

Congratulations, your cuff will be on it's way!
