NEW BEGINNINGs TO HELP RESCUED AND FOSTERED DACHSHUNDS and so GLAD TO BE BACK!

Thursday, March 13, 2014

Hello all my followers on this blog.  It has been over a year since I closed my Art Fire shop. I missed having an outlet for my creativity and decided to reopen my shop on Etsy. 

Last year I got involved with a Dachshund Rescue Group in Florida and decided to reopen my Etsy shop, fill it with beautiful artisan made jewelry and donate 20% of the proceeds of each sale to: the Rescued Rescuers: Dachshunds and Friends of the Emerald Isle.  They can be found on Facebook and are such a wonderful rescue group.

Not only do they rescue these sweet little doxies from horrible situations and county kennels, but they have a number of loyal foster homes that they can be placed in until they are adopted and finally find their "Forever Homes"

Being a Granddogmother to my Grandchildren's red dachshund named Douglas, I grew to just love these playful, sweet little "weiner" dogs.  This is Doughlas, and he loves his Grandmother!

So, I would hope that you check out my recently reopened Etsy shop at: www.gardengatedesigns.etsy.com and hopefully purchase a little something for yourself and also do something wonderful for this Rescue Group.  They pay for all the rescued pups vetting bills, updating of immunization shots, food, etc.

 

Thanks a million for reading my blog today,

VALENTINE'S DAY BOX

VALENTINE'S DAY BOX

Does anyone remember the Valentine's Day Boxes that school children used to make to hold the Valentine's Day Cards that you exchanged with classmates?  Well, today, most teachers just give out brown paper bags and have the students color on them, place their names on them, or sometimes decorate them.

A week ago, my five year old Grandaughter Kylee and I made one for her pre school classe's Valentine's Day Party.  They are to hold her cards that she will get from classmates.  The box was so simple to make.

All you need is a shoe box that you no longer need, some red tissue paper, paper lace heart or flower cutouts, stickers in the Valentine's Day theme and glue.

Your local WalMart is a great place for purchasing stickers.  Just look in the greeting card aisle.  You will find more than you need.  I purchased some puffy ones, 3 dimensional ones and Valentine Lady Bug Stickers.

To begin with, just cut a slit in the lid approximately 1/2 inche by 4 inches.  Then, you take your red tissue paper and cover the lid, both inside and out and use scotch tape to fasten it with on the inside of the lid.  Next, tissue paper the main box using the same technique as the lid.  It is kind of like wrapping a gift.  Place the lid on the box and have your young person decorate away using Elmer's Glue for the cut outs and placing the stickers everywear. 

So, with a little help from Grandma, Kylee is all ready for her Valentine's Day Party. 

As I take care of my Grandaughter two days a week, I am always looking for crafty projects to keep her entertained.  She loved decorating this Valentine's Day Box and I am sure your little one will too.

Happy Crafting.

"Roses are Red"

"Roses are Red"

Last week I purchased the most amazing bunch of Roses at Heinen's Grocery Store in Brecksville, Ohio.  Now, I am not really a big fan of roses, but, at $5.99 a bunch (14 stems) it was a real bargain.  I just could not resist the colors offered in the bunches.  They are going on a week old now, and they are still beautiful. 

Just thought I would share them with you.  Don't you think they are just amazing?

Hoping you enjoyed my "Roses"
