Checking in...boy time flies

Hello everybody
I have a ton to post and just a bit of time...so hopefully I will get more in tomorrow.
First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL!!!
Mel of MCADesigns Birthday is today and you know what that means a sale and what a sale it is 100 overlays for $10. And to top it off an awesome tutorial. I just looked at it and I discovered some awesome things you can do with overlays that I never knew and even if you do know it all who can pass up 10 cents an overlay! What can you buy for 10 cents nowadays?
And you got to check out my new button on the sidebar. SirScrapalot made this epoxy button and I love it. If you are a fan go check out his blog...he is even doing a special bonus drawing.
So why have I been so busy...
We went out of town for a Homeschooling conference and then my Birthday was Thursday.
Friday I thought I was going on a date with my DH and instead we picked up this little guy

He has the most awesome temperament. He has had a bit of a hard life the last year...His owner died and the inheritor didn't handle their barking well so he and his brother got thrown outside for 6 months in the middle a snowy winter.
Finally the executer of the estate decided it was best to get them a good home.
His brother(the other dog) beat him up quite a bit.
But now he has his own blankets and toys and he loves to snuggle, play fetch and go on walks.

Well I guess I better go...I will try get in later this week and get you a gift or two.
