postheadericon Scrapbooking -- Beginnings


I am a newbie scrapper but hooked none the less!  This blog will be used to document my experiences as I learn  the scrapping techniques and tools.

I have recently started my first project which is a wedding album for my son and daughter in law ... Will be uploaded images of some of my layouts ..

My layouts are pretty simply but seem to be getting better as I go ... Well at least I think so..

postheadericon Happy Hatchday Sméag

Sméagol is 7 years old .. .WOW where did the time go!  He is a wonderful and yet boisterous little parrot.  He is quite a character and a joy to have around.  Sméagol continues to be the center of attention and I am sure he works hard at it!


Happy HatchDay Buddy!

postheadericon Bruce


Bruce is our newest and final addition to our family!  It should be noted that this is the same thing we said when we picked up Sméagol!

Bruce was born on October 23, 2009 and came to us on January 2010.


Bruce is an olde english bulldogge and our researched told us we would be in for a challenge!

Now how can a beautiful puppy like that be challenging?  Well he is a bully after all! 

As there isn't a lot of information available on the Olde English Bulldogge I have created a website and blog for Olde English Bulldogges ...

postheadericon Chuck - Our Main Man



Chuck is our beautiful labrador retriever. Chuck came to our home in March 2001. He is such a beautiful and well adjusted boy!

He is also a Daddy's boy and follows Ian everywhere he goes..


He is such a gentle soul and a very smart boy!  He excelled in obedience and thrives on pleasing us!

Chuck suffered an injury in 2004 and we are now starting to see the affects of arthritis ... We are able to manage his pain but find it heartbreaking to see him struggle.

He is however aging gracefully isn't he ... those grey hairs make him look even wiser then his years!

postheadericon An African Grey



We quickly realized that although we were up to the challenge we really needed help with Perk our african grey. We also understood that the help and guidance we needed could only come from those who had experience with african greys.

With all the research I had done I wasn't able to find a website/forum specifically for african greys that I liked. So I decided if I built it .. they would come! LOL

An African Grey debut was today and I can only hope that we become a valuable resource to others. In doing so Perky will benefit from what I am able to learn!

postheadericon Perk's Progress



We bought him a new playtop cage -- He is now in his playtop cage, with toys and two perches, new croc bowls ... His new additional natural perches and more toys arrive next week and it seems like introducing these to him will be easy!

In the past, he has had very little out of cage time -- He is now not only coming out with just learning step up ... but he plays with foot toys and his hanging toys on top of his cage ... 

He was never clipped and can't seem to fly .. so we are very careful with his out of cage time. He panics and flies around erratically so we are having a hard time working with him. I think we will need to clip him or we won't be able to work with him. He is lunging and biting and isn't trusting us and flies off ..

We have to buy a carrier to get him to the vet to have him clipped .. hopefully next week. We don't want to traumatize him so we will see how he is doing.

He was eating a mixture of sunflower seeds, peanuts and a bunch of other seeds .... Can you believe he is eating Hagen Lifetime Pellets for Parrots ... and tropimix! He loves it ... just tonight he kept his head in the bowl for 10 minutes! 

I am so impressed with this birds progress ... he is so perceptive to all physical changes ... but still lunges and bites!

I know .. one day at a time!
