Green Paws on Dawgs & More

The Indy Blooms Swap meet may be over, but I am still very busy. Right now it seems as though I go from one project straight to another.

I am working hard at stewarding Breyer Boot Camp - the entries are pouring in! Another project is in the works and nearly done which is a good thing - I have a May 1st deadline. Then, I am in the final stages of preparing for this coming Saturday's live show.

I am working on the tags and documentation for Midwest Mini Mayhem. Documentation is something I enjoy, especially when it's collectibility. (The teacher in me loves learning!)

I'm taking this sweet and sassy Walker-Renaker to the show but I could not find any information on it. Then I realized I was searching for Kay Finch and Freeman Leidy as the manufacturers. Once I remembered who had produced this cute piece, then I had what I needed.

But I really got stuck while researching this teeny tiny Hagen Renaker. I knew it was part of a club that a dealer had run and that the dealer had passed away quite some time ago, but I could not remember anything else.

Nancy Kelly to the rescue! I emailed her and she was able to help me out. Thanks, Nancy!

Craig, Lisa, and I had a good laugh when she dropped her dogs off the other day. You've heard of the book, Green Eggs and Ham?

How about Green Paws on Dawgs?

Lisa had just mowed her lawn and the dogs had been running around playing in that freshly cut grass. It was a little startling, but very funny, too.

Finally, Tammo has been with us for two months now and it has taken him that long to discover he actually likes peanut butter. Pepper has been the beneficiary of all that uneaten peanut butter - after she finished her kong, she ate his. But not any more. He laps it right up. (And sometimes finishes before she does. Which is saying something. We have been known to call her Pepper the Piranha.)

Beach Son Kyle may be coming home from traveling soon. We will be glad to see him, but Tammo will be missed around here when he goes back home to Florida. He is such a sweet boy and is especially attached to Craig, following him everywhere he goes and then crying when Craig doesn't take him along.

Tammo watching Craig mow the grass and feeling very forlorn that he is not out there with his boy.

Craig trying to read as the pack, including Tammo, settle around him for naps.

Tomorrow I will show you something else I am working on - Kentucky Derby decor!

Stay 'tooned!
