Our little Maxwell has been inspecting our pool...not sure of it, but not scared of it either. So, we sat on the edge of the pool last night and let his little paws touch the water, he instantly started to do the famous "doggy paddle". He loved it...I just wish that it was a little warmer and we would totally go swimming!!! After his big "doggy paddle" debut we wrapped him up with a towel and gave him lots of loves. Isn't he is just the cutest!!!

The Last Day...

Dipping is as easy as 1...2...3...REALLY!

Just open a 3.5 pail of Pure Brilliance Clear Dipping Glaze...

Mix for about 2 minutes and check your viscosity...

Dip and let your piece dry...

How easy is that!!!

pure•brilliance™ was the hit of the show...

It truly is "The first high-performance nontoxic clear glaze"

Don't you want a clear glaze that is forgiving, gives you a brilliant shine,

one with a fast and stable dry time, one that enhances underglaze colors,

it must be craze resistant and most of all, it must be easy to use. Plain and simple, pure•brilliance™ says it all and does it all!

Have you tried pure•brilliance™ ?

Puppy Power!!!

So...Saturday we had a yard sale and cleared out our unwanted "treasures" (aka JUNK)...I was surprised by how many people came by...for a holiday weekend it was busy busy! Luckily we had some help! My sister (who is sooo not a morning person) came over to help and my BFF came by with her family (I got to see my goddaughter!!) plus blueberry muffins! Fantastic!

After the yard sale my husband, sister and I were talking about pets...we really want a dog...I wanted to rescue a puppy from our local SPCA. Off we went Saturday afternoon to the SPCA...I have to say it was one of the hardest things to do, being that I absolutely love animals, seeing so many animals that need a home just broke my heart...I wanted to bring them all home. (which would not work!) After searching 2 of the 4 buildings someone finally helped us find a little puppy. I immediately fell in love! Currently his name is Pac...not our style...so his "working name" is puppy right now...I am leaning towards Maxwell! He is so sweet! We will get to pick him up this week...he has to get his shots, be fixed and microchiped!

You have to check out all of the adorable pet projects on our website...these are a few of my faves!

How cute is this pet dish!

Wickedly Cute Puppy Tee!

Hot Doggy Tee!

I am so so so excited to start my new puppy projects!!!!
