When I woke up this morning and checked my emails, I got a sweet surprise from my friends, Jenn and Jacqui, over at The Bowerbird's Nest. I am sure that you have seen other bloggers' illustrations that have been designed by the fabulous Miss Jacqui, and now Duhgall and I have our own sweet design! Jacqui even pegged my hair cut and Doogs' plaid collar. He used to have a plaid leash, however he used it as a chew toy one day and severed it in half with his sharp Scotty teeth.YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

That is just so fun. What a great job they did for you :-)
Don't you just love our cartoon selves? We are so stinking cute as cartoons. :-) Of course, you and Doogs are just plain cute, cartoon or for real. I love those ladies. They are just the sweetest.
And YOU are great, Becky. Thanks for tagging me, this looks like a fun one.

Hi, I was just reading Sandy's (Sam I Am) list, and am visiting your blog for the first time. I am in PFATT with Sandy. May I add your link to my blog? I have a lot of other artist's links. You'd never know from looking at my blog that I am an artist, too; I am on a bit of a hiatus, writing a novel, though.
