New Blog Look!

July 14, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: scrappy, zoo | Leave a Comment

Well, in my endless search for free scrappy things online, I ran across Sweet Scraps. Christie is the blog owner and she has the sweetest kit available for free! It’s called “Simply Adorable” and it really is just that!


The theme of her blog was made by Allie with one of her kits. It’s too cute, so I went and checked out Allie’s blog and she has other themes available and also directions on how to use them. I tried to use the kitty one but the background was a little dark for me, so I decided to make my own!

Why pears? Well, it’s a long running joke from when I worked in the grocery store. I’d smell the pear wrappers…they really smell like pears!! And it just escalated from there!

So now I collect pears. My kitchen and dining room “theme” is pears and I have pears everywhere in my house. Here are a couple photos of the kitchen and dining room.

Our baker’s rack and my pears!

The kitty is Razzle, he’s a manx and the only cat we didn’t adopt from the animal shelter. We got him from a rescue. We adopted him after we lost Zagnut, our first kitty in 2006 to the Diamond food recall. We lost two cats due to that recall, it was really tough to go through. That’s one reason why I’m so anal I guess you could say about our pet’s food. I don’t want to go through another devestating loss again.

On a different note…I’m going to try to display one of my completed pages each day I blog and I’m going to try to blog everyday. I may not have a lot to say and who knows who’s reading, but isn’t that how it all starts? Someone reads one blog, something catches their eye and then they come back. That’s how I’ve found most of the blogs I read on a regular basis.

I’ll post the page a bit later, I need to make one today 🙂
