Welcome to the PSA Love Blog Hop!! I'm thrilled to be apart of this fun blog hop... and who doesn't LOVE a good blog hop!! Since you have a lot of blogs to get through lets get this hop going!
This hop is suppose to be all about love and if you know me at all, you know I love dogs!! A lot!! I have 4, Bella, Savannah, Alfred and Nico.
Here is Bella (Yorkie) and Nico in my craft studio...
(these two are the trouble makers)
our sweet Savannah, who is the most perfect clam dog there is...
and Alfred. (He's our special needs dog and VERY hard to get a picture of.)
These are my fur-babies. You could say my business is kinda "dog" friendly. We have our dogs at work with us, even Lanie who works for us brings her pup and my logo for the company is of a real dog, Willie-B.
Here is Willie-B:
He was my first love (had him before I married Dan) then a few years after I married Dan he died of a heart condition. I wanted to keep his little memory alive so I made him the face of Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker! Love and miss him so much.
For my first "love" project I'm using my newest paper line We Are Family. With each of my new releases (every 6 months) I create a layout using the same picture of my Willie-B.
My next "love" project is a frame I altered for Valentine's Day, using my Sugar Cookie paper line. I think I'll give it to my hubby for the big "LOVE" day!
I hope you've enjoyed seeing hearing about my Loves!! Be sure and leave me a comment here and don't forget to become a follower of PSA Essentials and also follow my blog to win the grand prize. (I have 4 of my design team girls that blog monthly here too, you'll love all the eye candy they show!)
