Party Animals

There is nothing "The Boys" like more than a birthday party and I have commemorated some of them by scrapbooking the photos. The first two page layout shows Higgins' 1st birthday party. I love the picture where he is looking worried as Sid takes a crafty bite of his cake. I always send the rescue centre an update and photos at Christmas so this one was an obvious choice to send.

I also scrapped Archie's fourth birthday photos. He often sleeps with his paws over his eyes so I am glad I managed to capture a picture of him like that. This photo always makes me smile.
On the cross stitch front I have managed to finish Village Lane by Heritage. I consider myself quite a fast stitcher but all those greens really slowed me down. I think it took about a month altogether although I have done some smaller projects in between.

  4. Shirley, you did a super job on the dogs birthday pages. The photo of Archie sleeping with his paws over his eyes is just darling. What are the birthday cakes made of?

    All that green!! I can see why it took you a while to finish Village Lane--but the result is so lovely :)
