It's starting to look a lot like Christmas...

Sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile...I have been busy with the usual holiday stuff, but now finally the dust has settled, the gifts are wrapped and I can now sit back and actually enjoy the season. I love it when everything is done and I can relax and do the holiday things I enjoy like baking cookies and spending time with friends and family. This is our Christmas tree this year...we have made the change to colored lights for the past two years and it is growing on me...I used to be a white lights only kind of girl, but my husband and daughter are slowly wooing me to the other side. My tree is of course slowly going tothe dogs....I have more dog ornaments now, my collection growing each year it seems. Luckily everyone else in my family shares this passion or they may think I am starting to obsess...
We are staying home for Xmas and then going to visit the In-Laws in Baltimore after that...I am looking forward to the visit since we still have a lot of friends there that we are excited to see and hang out with. I hope that everyone has a safe, magical holiday season and a very Happy New Year!



This one of my favorite ornaments...it looks just like my Daisy!

This a recent cabinet card that I altered...I sent out a few as xmas cards to some of my online friends....maybe you will get one soon?

Pet Portrait Day at the VBSPCA




What a fun weekend! I met a lot of really cool cats & dogs, some crazy pet owners and survived the weekend without getting my eyes clawed out by a few cats that were less than happy to be there. It is always exhausting since the appointments are every 20 minutes and you don't have a whole lot of time to get the perfect shot. By 5pm, I am usually pretty fried. The photos I have posted above were a few of my favorites...
