Big Post to Catch Up, Plus!

Wow, have I got a long post today plus pic's too finally! I know I won a couple contest and had a big weekend LAST weekend with new stuff we bought, plus contest prizes coming in, but its been a tough week and still trying to catch up a bit! I did send Thank you e-mails out when they came in though. Can't tell you how they brightened up my days lately!!
I'll start off saying, Yeah!! No more Saturday night bowling, so now maybe some home projects will be able to get started & finished. :) I'm celebrating that with this photo..
Aren't they cute? The league secretary handed all of us one of our choice. Mike's is the blue and I chose the green guy, I liked him over the pink gal bear holding a black/pink purse ;) Besides, the bowling ball guy needed a bowling pin to go with it...lol So now that our weekends are freed up some I'll be able to start painting the kitchen. I think I'm gonna go with a real light pale teal-ish blue and you'll see why in this pic...

again, little washed out, but you get the general idea. So I'm not really sure on my Coke stuff or what other colors or theme I'll go with at the moment..lol, but this is the set we picked out, the one both Mike & I agreed on (shocker). It is solid wood, real wood! (even has a table leaf too). This table seems to take up a bit more room even though its the same size we had, sure looks big for our area, but I'm hoping the lighter walls (once done) and then this flooring (sorry still wrapped up laying in hallway) again glare, but I'll retake once its actually down on the floor and done. This is the same type of wood flooring that locks together, just bigger panels so it should go smoothly. Kinda reminds me of cobble stone, which I love, even though right now I'd take anything over the concrete and half stripped up stuff...lol Patience isn't one of my virtues :) But I can't wait to start tearing off the baseboards and stuff :) I do love demolishen!

Now for the two contest I've won..first up is one I won from Nichole. Her contest was in honor of ASPCA day. She had lots of prizes and lots of winners too! These are my winnings.... A lovely lace scarf that Chan donated to the contest. It sure is beautiful!! I didn't realize that lace was so delicate, but I just love it and love the paw prints! The paw pin is on my purse now and arm band at work on my computer. Thank you so much Nichole and I sure hope you made your goal on money donations!

Next up are my winnings from the Snuggle Project Contest through Dogs on Thursday. I had made 2 snuggles that I took up to our vet on that dreadful day in April, but Yesterday brought these winnings in this absolutely beautiful box... These are my treats that Paula sent me... the card was perfect! One of those "aw" factor pictures on the front. Thank you so much Paula and this pic was taken this morning after the chocolate hardened up so I could stand it up :) I can't wait to see what to make from the book and I just love the color yarn! This wasn't all that was in that pretty box, here is what Paula sent for the fur kids Treats just for them. I'm sure they'll love em! Yep, didn't get to spend much time for Lady to check it out, she's been acting so weird lately and well, Mike & I went last night to looks at puppies... We thought maybe she needed a friend and well, I'd like you all to meet Coco...

This was her first picture last night after coming home, she did get a bath after this shot as she really reeked, but she is so cute and looks like a fluffy bear. She is Chow and we believe about 6-9 weeks old, the guy wasn't sure as he had two females pop a couple weeks apart and I know what everyone says about a Chow, but this one is so laid back and that little tail just goes miles per seconds. Coco will definitely be loved and no threat at all. Lady has taken to her nicely, but still crying with the squeaker bone in her mouth. I know Coco will do us both good!

I am gonna try to get clean pics today of her and the both of them together if I can. Its just about outside time anyways and I've held ya all long enough. I do hope that is everything...if I forgot something sent, remind me..its just been crazy, home & work both. We've been letting Lady stay ungated and she hasn't been too bad...lol with all the changes that have been going on its a wonder we all aren't crazy here.

If you've made this far, Thank you and I wish everyone a really great day!! and hey, Alana is having a blogversary contest. Go on and pop over and wish her well, and/or give her an idea on how to use that lovely Handmaiden Seasilk she has.
