Ribbons & Cake

This past weekend, Vivi & I headed to St. Cloud, Minnesota for a show. This show is about 1 hour from us, but there was road construction & detours & it was at 2pm on Saturday (we usually show right away in the morning)...all those things lead me to be all out of sorts & literally walk into the show site at 2:05pm! Talk about a fast show...I walked in, waited about 10 mins for us to go in the ring & then was on my way home! LOL

On Sunday, we showed a bit earlier & Steve was able to come with so we got there in plenty of time to sit ringside & relax a bit. That felt much better. I did have a little conversation with Vivi before the show & while in the ring...see, Sunday was my birthday & I told her that ALL she had to get me for my birthday was a win...and she did! What a great birthday present!

How Did This Happen?

WOW!! How is it possible that December is almost at the mid-way mark?? This year seems to have gone very fast & I'm not sure why. I mean, I know I was busy most of the summer with shows & my new found love of sewing, but still. Jeez!!! 2012 will be here before any of us know it!

I always seems to be apologizing for my lack of posts this year. I am compiling a list of things I'd like to accomplish in 2012 & along with keeping my kitchen table junk mail-free (that's honestly all that is on that thing right now), I'm going to add blogging more...back to how it was. I love blogging, but I guess I let life get in the way...man, looking at the total of posts during 2010 & 2011...dang...makes me sad.

I will say that I'm grateful that it's all good things keeping me from blogging in 2011, so in that respect I shouldn't be sad. So for those of you still reading this blog, thank you! I promise, right here, right now, I will try VERY hard to blog much more in 2012 than I did in 2011!!

In typical procrastination fashion, I have yet to even take the bullies' photo for our Christmas card...man I need to get on that. Have all of you done your Christmas photos yet? Any bully seen Santapaws? If so, please send them to me & I will post them in the upcoming weeks for a very festive look for The Bully Beat!! Plus, I think they will give me the motivation to get our photos done!!!

"Yeah frwends! Send our momma yourz photos! We want to sees them too!"

What are you doing this weekend??

If you're in the Twin Cities & you love dogs & think craft fairs are a great place to get great gifts then boy do I have something you MUST put on your calendar!!

This Sunday, November 20th from noon-4pm the St Paul Minneapolis Bulldog Club will be holding it's first ever "Barktique" in White Bear Lake! What's a Barktique you ask...well, think Boutique with goodies & gifts for dog owners & dogs!!! Get it?? BARK-TIQUE??

So many of our own club members in addition to other talented dog lovers will have their own handmade items for sale & I must say we do have a talented group of people!! Yours truly will even have a few different items at the Barktique...want a sneak peak of some of the items??

There will be beauitfully hand drawn breed note cards

Really cute jewelry items

Wonderfully warm afghans in both baby & adult sizes

I plan on having some wristlets, tote bags & coin purses too! So far many are a work in progress (mostly because my sewing machine --aka Kenny--decided to pull an attitude this weekend), but you'll get the idea & see the cutest fabrics I've been working with!!
