While I clean chinchilla cages, I let the chinchillas run around the room. I couldn’t pass up this photo op. It is Paprika, our female standard grey chinnie, trying to figure out how to get a treat out of the bag.

I had to help her out. But, she didn’t mind … so long as she got to happily enjoy her shredded wheat.

So, today I go in to check on my craft booth in the local craft mall. She tells me that because the lady in the booth next to me sells garden totems like this one at Green Bean Workshop

I cannot sell my teacup birdfeeders like this one below.

To me, they are not the same. What do you think?

This ornament is a gift for a friend in Texas …. but I still wanted to share a photo. It is a little “off” as far as being evenly spaced. But, I like to call it the handcrafted beauty of it. haha!

A few years ago, we vacationed in Myrtle Beach. It was a great trip from start to finish! I was strolling down memory lane when I came across this photo. What a face! haha!

Max got a new baby. I thought this photo was so cool because his eyes match his green baby.
Unfortunately Max needs to go to the groomer ….. badly! But, he’s still so cute. Or maybe I’m just biased?!?
