anything goes

This week over at I ♥ Faces the theme for pets is "anything goes". I thought this the perfect opportunity to introduce you to my other baby boy...Mr. Cash. Cash is my 3 year old male Siberian Husky who should have definitely been born a girl. He is the biggest drama queen, I mean king, I have ever met, but I love him all the same.
Head on over and check out all the fun stuff I ♥ Faces has to offer!

blossoms in the trees

"Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees."
-Alexandar Pope

softly the evening came

"Softly the evening came. The sun from the western horizon Like a magician extended his golden want o'er the landscape; Trinkling vapors arose; and sky and water and forest Seemed all on fire at the touch, and melted and mingled together." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I know I haven't posted anything for a while, and I hope I haven't left too many of you hanging on the edge of your seat! Through the grapevine I've heard about so many people that say they check my blog everyday...EVERYDAY!!! Let me say I'm so flattered! So, to all of you...I'm here & I'm alive!
Last week I was very sick, so I quickly fell behind on my blogging. I missed "Fix-it" Friday, "Flashback Friday", and several other fun activities that I'm addicted to. But GUESS WHAT???? This Saturday is my first official engagement photo session!!!!!! I'm sooooooooooooo excited!! I just can't wait! So, stay tuned for the stunning mystery couple....
