Happy Belated New Year

Did you ever stop to think about how unfair the card makers are to the perpetually late person? The only "late" cards available are those for birthdays! Happy Belated Birthday! Gosh, I should probably stock up on these since it's the only kind I ever send. ;) But what about all the other occasions we forget to send cards for? How about "Merry Late Christmas" or "Sorry I missed Sweetest Day, Honey" cards? I think there may be a market for these! I know I can't possibly be the only one in the world who forgets to send cards. Got ideas for others? Post them to the comments and we'll start our own petition to try to get Hallmark to add these to their selection.

Life in our household is a little hectic right now. We are now foster parents for a beautiful boxer! We lost the our last boxer in September to cancer so after three months of being boxer-free, we decided to help out
Lighthouse Boxer Rescue and foster Dalton. He's a beautiful brindle boy who needs a good home. Dalton was found in a ravine half-dead and full of fleas, ticks, and other disgusting things but after a couple of months of medical care, he is fully recovered and raring to go! This guy is a real sweetheart. He doesn't seem to have had much human contact in his life. He isn't afraid of people -- he is just a little cautious but warms up to most people within a few minutes. He loves kids, though! If you are interested in adopting Dalton and you are in the Ohio area, contact Lighthouse Boxer Rescue to complete an adoption application. If you are interested in fostering or volunteering, be sure to complete a volunteer application while you are at the site. If you aren't in Ohio but are still interested in helping a rescue group, visit the American Boxer Rescue site for links to your local group. If your favorite breed isn't boxers, don't despair -- do a google search for a rescue group.

Great! Scrapbook Events is hosting a big show in Taylor, MI this weekend at the Gibraltar Trade Center and of course, we will be set up at the show so stop by and see us! The show is Saturday, Jan 19 from 10am to 8pm and Sunday, from 10am to 6pm. There will be lots of vendors and free scrapbook classes so come on over. I will have three new kits plus a few new products to show off so don't miss it. Admission is free so there is no excuse not to go if you are within driving distance.

Okay, that's it for today...but keeping watching. I'm going to be announcing a new product that will be available soon and you are definitely going to want this! :)
