Pictures that didn't make it.

As many of you know TDIPT Mercantile is having a funniest pet contest. It's a great idea but me actually catching any of my pack at them funny moments with my camera is almost impossible. When we decided to have this contest I wore my camera around my neck like a big piece of Bling trying to catch them funny moments but I was never fast enough. One day Mr. GoldieLoo left his old work truck doors open and moments later this is what we found. I thought it looked like Lucy was taking Biscuit for a ride and imagined the things they would say to each other is they could "people talk" . :) So here are a few of the pictures that didn't make the cut.

Lucy's sleeping at the wheel as Biscuit looks for road kill.

BORING!

You know your in trouble when no matter what they are doing and you look at them and still think they are adorable. ♥

It's Swapping Time !

We've been a swapping over in the TDIPT group. I was lucky enough to get Sharon AKA Mustard Seed Primitives as my swap partner. And lookie what she made for me.
Thanks Sharon, I truly love it all.

Dancing with the Stars ~ Season 9 Cast

Yippieeee, Dancing With The Stars is back ! This is my favorites from last year, I was so bummed they didn't win. Cheryl is always my favortie dancer to watch.

Here is the new line up and their Dance Partners. dare I say who my top 3 picks are ? This is so risky not seeing them dance yet but here it goes.....

My pick for the top 3 will be Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff, though I can not stand her. Mya and Dmitry Chaplin and - Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson, I think Donnie will go pretty far because he is so well liked and I think he will do good dancing, he is in great shape. I love Kelly Osbourne but I will be suprised if she sticks around long.

Over the years Joe has bought several Game Boards from me and has them beautifully displayed in his home .
