Do You Know Pet Parents?




Hi and welcome, everyone. Today I'm over on the SVG Attic Blog sharing a few
ways to present Pet gifts. I think often times we forget that some people consider their
pets to be their children, especially, couples who can't have children. And how sad is it that
we don't acknowledge their fur babies. I was one of those people, and I say let's give "Pet Parents"
and their babies some love, too! So here are a few ideas next time you want to give a Pet
gift.

With just a few SVG Attic Files you will be passing out these cute Pet gifts yourself.

I created the Fire Hydrant Treat Box using the JGW Little Fire Chief Kit, the gift card holder using the SVGA Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes, and the card using the paw print from SVGA Jack's Tracks.
One of the best things about all the Kits listed, they can be used for multiple projects.
The Little Fire Chief Kit makes for an awesome birthday party or load that fire hydrant up with homemade cookies for your local fire department.
Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes can be used for any occasion just by changing papers.
Jack's Tracks actually has a few items that can be used for multiple purposes, too


.
We all know people who love pets. Here's a fun way to tell them how awesome they are.

Gift cards are great for new pet owners.

My sweet girl had her own cookie jar that was a red fire hydrant, inspiration comes from all around us.

Such a fun way to give a Pet gift!

 

As always, thanks for joining us and we hope you have a fantastic weekend.

For heaven to be perfect....Eureka! Stamps Challenge ABC




This week over at 

 http://www.eurekastamps.blogspot.com/
Now for me that is a challenge within itself.
I came across this sentiment and knew immediately
what I wanted to do.
I knew it was going to be the hardest project and 
to be honest wasn't so sure I would get through it. 
A layout was in order!

This is Sandie Bear Mensing aka Ladybug, Boo berry, sweet girl, momma's baby, and the list goes on. I bought Sandie in May of 1999 when my husband, at the time boyfriend, was deployed to Kosovo. Little did I know how much she would comfort and protect me over the next 14+ years. I remember the day I brought her home, she laid on the AC vent and didn't even cover it. She saw me through 10 years of Army life, 8 deployments, my hubby being stationed in separate locations while we stayed behind, and countless field training. It became the two us and we were nearly inseparable. I couldn't stand to leave her and out 14+ years she was away from me only 3 weeks. The years flew by and before I knew it she was 13 years old. She had been very healthy most of her years with a little arthritis flair up now and then. In February 2013, at her yearly check up I was delivered the news ..... I would be lucky if I had for another year due to age! I knew this, in the last few months her hips were starting to bother her and she was old for a fur baby, nearly 15 years old. As the months progressed her health declined, she started having seizures and no longer making it down the stairs on her own. Literally, I picked her up and carried her. I always said I would not let her suffer to save my heart from ache. So I told my husband to call the vet, that was early December. I wanted one last Christmas with her, selfish I know. So on December 31st, 2013 I carried this precious baby to the vet for the last time. My heartaches everyday from missing her, she was my child. The house is so quiet now. I say it's funny how one fur baby could take up so much silence. 
 The sweetest words of condolence came from my niece:
 " Aunt Lisa, she is still with you! She could never really leave you."
Now it's your turn to show us your take on
