My Adorable Doxie Pup MOLLY just turned 1!!!

Happy Birthday, Molly!!!

I just LOVE my dapple dachshund to pieces!!  Well, actually I love all 3 of my dachshunds to pieces but since it is Molly's birthday, she derserves all the attention!!  My children wanted me to throw her a party complete with invitations, guests, party favors, cake, etc.  My husband thought we were crazy so I decided on a happy medium and we through a family birthday party for Molly!  We made party hats, party favor bags, and special "pupcakes" for our 4 little furry guests!!  I also made them handstamped aluminum colored discs pet ID tags with their names and a cupcake stamped on them!  The party was a hit with both my fur babies and my children!!!  Check out a couple of the photos from the "party!"

A few of my favorite things....



 I love so many things.... holding hands with my husband, long, tight hugs from my children, my son's infectious laughter, my oldest daughter's crooked smile, my youngest daughter's tender heart, my cat's warm body snuggling up against me at night, puppy kisses, sharing secrets with my sisters, girl's night out with my mom, long chats with my dad, the company of my friends, spending time with my family, the warmth of the sun as I am being cooled by a breeze, mountain air, admiring the sunset, gazing at the stars, catching lightning bugs, watching butterflies flutter about, walking through the woods, watching sunlight dance across water, new flowers in bloom, the changing of leaves in the fall, bare trees in the winter, watching birds nibble at my bird feeders, okay... yes!!  I could go on and on....  again, I love so many things!!

But here are a few of the silly things I love....  winged pigs, crowned frogs, and rabbits in little straw hats!!  I like my animals fancied up a bit!!  I'd put a tiara on my cat if she'd let me... and she won't, I have tried!!!  Is that normal??!  I sure hope so!!  Check out my NEW winged pig pendant that I made....

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."
