So, as we have each year, the kids made Valentine's Boxes for their school parties. In order to do this quickly (because we always excel in procrastination) I empty some Kleenex boxes and cover them in typing paper, then let the kids draw whatever they want on the boxes. This usually produces your typical hearts and flowers type of boxes......

Hi there, boy it's been awhile since I posted anything here.
Last September we adopted a dog.
She's a rescue that had been on Death Row and was saved with literally hours to spare by a friend of mine who fosters dogs. After 4 months with my friend we decided it was time for us to get a dog and "Mak" came to live
with us. She is a Black Mouth Cur (MightyMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02563721884001643857noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945540383960735594.post-48903081681532436572013-12-18T00:30:00.000-06:002013-12-18T00:30:02.664-06:00Christmas Movie Marathon....Icemageddon hit north Texas last weekend, We were stuck indoors for a total of FOUR days.

We got a new dog during my blog silence. She's most likely a Black Mouth Cur named Mikayla or as we call her "Mak"
See her head on MY knee? While she's an excellent family dog and plays with/loves us all, she is most attached to me.

It's easy to get discouraged, but it's only through moving forward that you will persevere.
the tediousness of paperwork can steal creativity....however, you must create or there will be nothing for people to buy
