Party Time !

Welcome to my party!

it's time to show off the 2nd hand collections!

this month, I wanted to share some of my Valentine images with you...

so you will have time to use them in your fun projects!

and remember that next month's party will be on Feb 13th!

so here we go...

I love this one...

I love all the vintage valentines, but the old penny postcards are one of my favorite things to look at and work with...

I am so in awe of all the vintage artwork and how long some of these pieces would have taken to do...

snag all you want and have fun with them...

you can join the party by adding yourself to the linky...

all I ask is that your post is ad free and no give aways...

this party is for 2nd hand collections only and link back to this post...

My word for the new year...

I have been thinking about a word for me for the year...

I have noticed more people doing this instead of making a major New Year resolution list...

something easier to stick to and more realistic...

something profound...

and a promise to yourself as you walk here below...

so, after so much thought...

I have my word...

OBEDIENT...

may I be quick to take action when He calls upon me...

and not question Him when He knows what He's doing...

to try harder in His work...

to pick up the pace...

and OBEY HIM...

Shooting...

stars?...

no, not here...

it's snow!

only flurries, they say...

yeah...

they kind of messed that one up...

little or no accumulation...

right...

and it's dry and blowing...

and it's still coming down at almost 3am...

enough to get a little face and toes wet...

ok, I know he's a boy...

but he can't see...

so he's going to wearing a top knot until his hair grows out a bit more and over the top...

and we are changing his name...

this is Robbie...

"Moses" no longer lives here...

it's like witness protection for animals...

the last owner called me the 1st of December wanting him back...

but there is no way he could take him...

nursing home...

but he drinks and possibly other things...

so we talked and I told him he needed an older dog...

wheel chair confined...

this one is still a pup and too hyper...

and he needed one that was more on his terms...

and if he got out of the nursing home and into an apt that would allow pets...

we would find him a good companion...

he was ok with that...

but his ex wife is not...

she wants him to breed...

it's all about the money...

so she calls about every 6 weeks now...

wanting him back...

she lives in an apt that doesn't allow pets...

but she lost my number and called the friend who gave him to me...

yesterday she threatened to sue me for visitation rights...

my friend was upset and wouldn't give her my number...

and when she calls, she's drunk...

I told my friend to hang up on her...

they didn't take care of him when they had him...

he was flea invested and was so anemic that his gums were white...

they are pink again and it took 2 days to get rid of the fleas...

they never once took him to the vet...

he goes in the last of the month to be fixed and all the other fun stuff...

I didn't want him going through surgery anemic...

he's a little guy and there could have been complications and even death...

and he is so happy here...

Bebe and Robbie are bestest friends...

and they don't understand the minds of crazy humans who can't get their act together...

and they shouldn't have to...

so Robbie's vet records and all that from now on will be Robbie's...

Craig picked out the name...

in all our adoptions to and from we have never had to deal with anything like this lady...

I hope she loses my friend's number in the next 6 weeks...

no animal deserves what he's been through...

more snow photos when the sun comes up!
