about the Etsy shops that may have this bag,

please please e-mail me. Price had just been

marked down. The hours that I have spend looking for

Little Things Bring So Much Joy

MEET BELLA

So cozy in Bella new puppy bed!!!!

All in Pink just like little girls like..

This is the one on the internet. Adorable..

I do have this same case

but Bella did not look like she had enough room.

Today is Pink Saturday again. Thanks to

Beverly for hosting this wonderful event

for all the pink lovers. Let me say this has been

a fun week for me. Last Friday I recieved a 3 month

old ShihTzu I had been wanting to find a pretty

older cat maybe that needed a home but no luck.

Cajun is my 7 year old solid black pekingese.

He gets so lonelyduring the day. Let me say not

anymore with Bella he hasspend this week watching,

chasing and opening that Bella would be leaving.
But A Guardin Angel called and asked if
I would like a Shih-tzu of course I just hollared.
So around 7:00 Jen brought her to me,
a guy at the base here locally was being
transfered and he still had three puppies left.
Make long story short he asked for good homes
for them and a very small price for a registered

ShihTzu can you believe. This has been a fun

week with Bella. She is very loving,great

peronality. Seems to go with the flow. I looked

on the web for ideas for Bella a bed. This is one

that I thought was to cute.I found and old suitcase
at Penny Pinchers this week. 2 pink blankets
at the Salvation Army. I haven't painted the
suitcaseyet it is just too cold. When I finish
it will be real girly for Bella.
That is my Pink Saturday hope you may get
a idea if your needing a dog bed for your pet.
I am glad you stopped by. Please stop again.
Have a great day!!

Do You Have Assurance??

As I started looking on the computer tonight.
I came across this poem. I know that I must have
an angel watching over me. This has been a very
tough week. Sometimes in my weakiest point I
forget God always knows about these trials and
tribulations that we face daily. I just want to share this poem.
Its time to write in my journal.
Have A Great Day Friday!!


The God of Heaven is the One we adore
May we all learn to trust Him more
He is our true and faithful Friend
He will be with us till the end
In His love we find great comfort and power
And He is our Rock and strong and mighty Tower
He knows no measure or end
And victory he will send
He is Jesus, the First and the Last
On whom every burden I cast
His Spirit will guide me safely to that blessed Heavenly shore
I'll praise Him for all that He has done
And trust Him until my race is run
I'll praise Him for all that is to come
And trust Him till I arrive at home

Recycled Homemade Dog Pet Wow!!!

After getting Bella last Friday I have been looking
for a cute dog bed how cute is this one and the
price is FABULOUS. I had to share this cute idea
for all the puppy lovers. I am going to the thrift
stores Thursday I will share mine when I get
it made.
Thanks for this precious idea.

Okay, it’s not the most life-changing DIY you’ve ever seen, but the sad little dog bed my 4-pound Yorkie Winnie called home needed some help! Store-bought beds are easily $50 and not great quality, so I thought, “Hey, why not just make one.”
After much Internet research, a perfect solution (and creative inspiration!) was found via Kristen, a designer and Etsy seller.
Because Winnie is so tiny and likes to nest in small spots, I knew an ordinary suitcase would be too big for her. Luckily, in the back of my closet I had this vintage Samsonite hat case that I’ve been carting around for years–finally, a reason to dust it off!
Again, a stroke of luck when it turned out that Winnie’s old dog bed was the perfect fit! Check out Design^Sprout for more pictures and Kristen’s instructions (scroll to the bottom) for how to sew a pillow to custom fit your suitcase.
Next, I bought a colorful, vintage Afghan for only $1 (it was riddled with holes), cut off the offending parts and used some leftover yarn to sew a sleeve covering the old bed. I tucked in the open end at the bottom because I want to be able to remove it for washing. I then pounded a thin nail through the hinges, preventing them from ever being opened or falling closed, added dog toys (which she immediately attacked!), her favorite blanket and viola!
What was once kicked under the bed when guests arrived is now a conversation piece! All for $1. Doesn’t get much better than that.

Welcome Home Bella

This is Bella. She is a three month old little Shitzu.

I got her this past Friday night, a guy

from the base here was being transferred.

He had been unable to sell the last two females.

The price was just to good not to buy her. She is

just a sweetheart. Cajun my 8 year old pekingese

is having a hard time adjusting to her. All he does

is growls at her. I came home twice today from

work to check on her. I left her in a puppy crate.

I'm not real sure about the crates. If you have

any experience with keeping a puppy in one

please let me know.
I have never used one before!!!!
