Our Sweet Little Cock-a-mutt Puppy :-)

Image
Well, I am not quite sure how it happened...... But we got ANOTHER dog. What if I just told you guys that I wanted another one so my house could look SUPER SNAZZY like the ones below? Now if I could only get my husband to dress like that too,  HAHAHA!  For anyone who knows my husband, that is NOT ever going to happen :-) Anyway, that wasn't why we got her :-) We got it for my daughter.  (What we do for our children, huh.) A little puppy for a little girl :-) Two little sleepy heads :-) We were told it was a Cockapoo (insert huge laugh) but once we got to the ladies house, it didn't matter if it was a cock-a-mutt. .....my daughter fell in love and we paid the Cockapoo price. :-) (I'm pretty sure it's a Lab Cocker Spaniel mix) She's adorable and a great puppy.    I'm firmly believing that our TWO dogs will add lots of PIZAZZ to any home decor photo I display on the blog...

Her latest Pinterest adventure was making a CANDY CAKE!  It was pretty simple. (Although she decided to make her cake and frosting from SCRATCH.  Who does that anymore?  - OH, a teenager who has a lot of time on her hands - hee, hee.)   Kit Kat and M&M Cake She used a bread loaf pan so it would be the correct height of the Kit Kat bars.  She said that if she made it again, she would use brown chocolate frosting instead of white butter cream so that it would blend in more with the chocolate bars. The top was sprinkled with M&M's - SO yummy!! Also on her Pinterest Boards were these fun young teenager ideas :-) BALI SANDALS "Simply cut a long strip of stretchy knit fabric, tuck it under a ...
