Make a list & check it twice! Wouldn't one of these be nice?

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, I'm sure a lot of us are thinking of the plan of attack for the big sales on Black Friday & the gift lists that we'll be checking off!  I'm sure there will be some people that are just too hard to buy for.  Or someone that you would like to get them something a little more unique or personal.  Well, I just happen to have an idea for some of you! 

I'm guessing many of you who read this blog either enjoy dogs (maybe even bulldogs in particular) or know someone who does.  So with that thought in mind, what about getting that special (bull)dog lover in your life...or better yet...yourself something that is unique & personal?!

Hmmm...something from the talented hands of Betsy perhaps?  I happen to own a few of her items & I just love them!  Betsy is very talented & her items are of the highest quality!  Below are just a few of the items Betsy can do!  (More items can be found here.)  Take a look!  I bet you'll find something for someone on your list (or you!)!

If you have any questions for Betsy or to place an order, please email her & please let her know that Jen sent you!  (I just want her to know that people actually read my blog! hahaha!)
Happy shopping!

My Two Passions Collide Again

POP QUIZ!! Remember my two passions?? Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock....ok, pencils down. For those of you who said Bulldogs & Disney, you're correct! If you're lucky (or unlucky depending on how you look at it) enough to get me going on either one of the subjects, I JUST DON'T STOP!! I could go on & on & on & on about both; and I know some of you reading this right now are nodding your heads up & down saying, "yep, she can! I've seen it!"

While I am passionate about both, I have to say that Disney is probably easier for me to talk about non-stop because I've researched the heck out of it. I go to forums, I subscribe to newsletters, I get emails, I receive magazines, I read books, I even listen to a few podcasts that are all about Disney!! (Yep, I'm a geek like that.) Bullies on the other hand, I'm still learning.

So imagine my happiness when I opened a large envelope from my bully friend Betsy (you know, the crafty one that made me my bully coin purse I posted a few weeks ago) to find this!!


It's one of the small errand bags she makes, but this time, it's been Disneyfied!!! Bully Disneyfied even!! What a cute Disney Bulldog this is!! Doesn't Vivi look cute w/her Mickey ears? How about the cute Mickey head fabric she used! Check out the back:
I mean really! How cute is that? And you know what? I didn't even ask her to make this for me. We had just in passing talked about a Disney trip while we were together in Duluth & then she sent me this! I mean, how creative is she?!

It's so fun to have something made just for you...but when it involves my bullies or Disney...wow! That is even more special! Thanks again Besty! Your talent is just amazing! Everything you make is bully-t-ful!
