Loving our little fur balls!

Our little fur babies had a rough last week.

Angel and I took all our dogs to get vaccinated on Sunday. My little guy Gravy and Angel's fur babies did really good but Biscuit freaked out a little! I posted the pictures of the dogs when they got "the surgery" on Thursday. We were told they needed to have the cone of shame on for TWO weeks!! They don't like having them on at all!!! They also need to be seperated so they have been extra sad. Sierra has been giving each one a lot of love so they are not so unhappy! Today she decided to work on a scrapbook for the dogs and asked if I would take pictures of them. Here they are. Here is Biscuit

...and this is Gravy

I'm hoping that they will be able to get their cones taken off early and will heal fast so they can be together!! I think we will all be a lot happier! Thanks for looking!!! Suzy

Photo shoot

This morning I asked Sierra if I could take some pictures of her and reluctantly she said, "yes". I told her we'd go out after and she started getting a little excited!! LOL

Here are a few that I took of her. We lasted all of 30 minutes because she said she was cold.

Thanks for looking!! Hugs, Suzy West

A busy week

It's been one heck of a week!!! Here are some pictures of what I've been up to!!

I've been out twice this week with Angel buying up all kinds of fun items for Tanner's birthday party! This year he's chosen Buzz Lightyear for his theme. We went shopping for clothes and this was one of his favorite outfits that HE put together!!

He is so adorable!

Tonight I went to the Sharks game!!! Thank you Julia for the ticket!! The seats were awesome and the energy was amazing!! I finished creating another class for the GASC show!! This will be taught in both Texas and Virginia!! My two doggies got neutered!! This was NOT fun!!!! Poor little things have been so sad! They need to have the cone of shames on for TWO weeks! They had their surgeries yesterday and Angel's dog had his surgery today!

Tomorrow I will getting my scrap on at Our Paper Place!!! I was asked to teach at Treasured Memories again so I will be working on new projects!! can't wait!!! Thanks for reading my blog!! :) hugs, Suzy West

Thanks for the prayers! A video of my sweet uncle

I would like to thank everyone that has been praying for my uncle.
My heart has felt so heavy ever since I heard that he fell and has been having seizures. It's been even more sad to hear that he feels like it's time to go too.
That's the first time I've ever heard him say anything like that.
I know he's lived a long life and can't be selfish and expect him to go on if his wishes are to go home to heaven and to be with his wife. I just want him to go peacefully.
Just a few weeks ago I head the honor to attend his 103 birthday party and recorded him.
He couldn't hear what I was asking him at first he's so cute.

Thanks for letting me share!!!
Hugs, Suzy West

The face of a busy girl!!

See this face?

It's the face of a girl that has been on overdrive since I've been home from London! I've been blessed to have a lot of opportunities come my way and it's been hard deciding which ones I can and can not do due to lack of time. From now until CHA Summer I'm going to be swamped with certain amount of projects and then from summer to winter there will be more. All in all...there's some exciting things in the works!! You'll hear about it soon! Hugs, Suzy West

this guy right here...

drives me nuts!!!!!

BUT...there is no one else I'd rather be with! Paul and I have been together for so long and honestly...there have been many times where we thought we'd strangle each other...but as our wedding song says, "After All that we've been through It all comes down to me and you I guess it's meant to be Forever you and me, after all."

He's the one!!! I love him and I can't picture my life with out him.

Some of my favorite shots of London!!

I got home yesterday from being in London for a almost two weeks and since my body thinks I'm still there I have been up since 3am!!! LOL Paul kept telling me to just relax and stay and in bed but I couldn't! I counted the pleats on my curtains about five times, thought about how the room would look if I changed the bedroom a different direction, was thinking about new songs on you tube I could add, and had a ton of thoughts in my head for a new adventure that I'm working on!!! I can't wait to tell you about it!!

I wanted to show you some of my favorite pictures that I took. I have a ton more but I don't want to bore you with them all! LOL

Let me know if you want to see more!!! thanks for letting me share of my pictures with you! Hugs, Suzy West

Grateful for the beauty around me

The tragedy that has happened in Japan has saddened me so much!
One day everything is good...the next day...everything is gone!
It's unbelievable to think that this could happen anywhere and to anyone.
I feel especially grateful for all the beauty that is around me. I think I take it for granted and that needs to stop!

Today...make a decision to appreciate your surrounding. Enjoy the streets, the lights, your home, your church, schools, stores, parks, the grass, the trees, your family & friends....everything!

I appreciate you!!!
hugs, Suzy West
