Sadie {AKA Poofus}

Hi, I'm Sadie.

I wanted to tell you all a little bit about myself.

I am the cutest puppy evah (I know this because everyone always tells me so!)

I love to cuddle and be carried around like a baby.

I am quiet, and hardly ever make a sound.

My cubby is one of my favorite places, and I go there to rest and I even stay in there all night without crying.

I have gotten so big {if you call 5 pounds big!}

I love all people, even strangers.

When I am happy I wag my tail. When I am really happy, I spin it around in a circle!

When I run I look like a bunny because I hop with my feet together.

I love my new family and they love me!

Now meet my alter-ego, Poofus:

Hi, I'm Poofus.

I was named Poofus due to my poofy fur and my doofus-y personality.

I love to chew on everything. I find amazing stuff in the garbage and think humans throw the best stuff away!

When I find something I want to chew on, I pick it up and run to the hallway (where it is carpeted) to commence the chewing and sliming of said object:

I really love feet. When my family is walking by, I grab on and chew! I will even hold on while they walk and drag me across the floor.

I once found a treasure in the box the cats play in. However, that caused the littlest girl to post this sign:

And if you don't read Kindergarten writing it says "no poop eaters". Discrimination, I say!

In spite of all this, my family loves me, too!

My Scrap Space (don't be hatin'...)

The girls and I spent a lot of our spring break cleaning and organizing our craft room. We purged quite a bit and got all of our stuff organized and easy to use. I now have everything out of my crop bags, store bags, etc. All my patterned paper is organized in the paper towers by vendor. My cardstock is in rainbow color order. The slatwall houses items on pegs that were in packages in categories like alphabets, flowers, bling, ribbon, chipboard, adhesives, and artsy stuff (like alcohol ink, glitter, embossing, etc). The shelves have unused albums, frames, and other projects, as well as a row of cardmaking supplies. We have baskets of paints, punches, buttons and brads. Drawers are holding embellishments by category (ie "girl", "holidays", etc.) I love it! Here are the results:

And one of my favorite parts, my bowls of ribbon! Beautiful!

Of course! My under-photographed oldest child, Michael!

Michael HATES having his picture taken. Like REALLY hates it. So it took a lot for me to get him to agree to the photo shoots. I needed pictures for his high school graduation announcements, so he had little choice in the matter. Day one we went to his school with his friend, Jacob. Here are some of my favorites:

Day two we went to downtown Tempe:

We founds some really cool places to take the pictures. These are all unedited and not cropped. I think I have some good ones to work with in here!
