Before I go, a little update on my foster puppy Diesel.... Such an amazing animal!! Diesel and I are now working and shopping together. He enjoys walking around with his Guide Dog in training jacket, seems to love the attention. The only hiccup is telling people they can't touch him :( I feel so cruel every time!!

 

Our next destination is...Holidays in Niagara Falls!! Yes yes, Diesel will be coming on holidays with us, meeting fish at Marineland and seeing the fabulous Niagara Falls. Lucky puppy huh? I would say, lucky me to have him. Here are a few pictures taken yesterday....He has sure grown!!!!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by from Team Diesel :)

Another album + Day after piccies :)

Happy Saturday blogger friends!! So how was your week??? Mine was busy busy, full of events and stress haha! Happy to be relaxing with you this morning and looking forward to a little party tonight, western theme, at the same hall we were married and guess what? They asked to use our wedding decorations for the event!! How cool is that??? Many of the same people and same place. Two weeks following the big event, will this be a deja vu??? haha No, I won't be wearing my wedding dress but the hat maybe *wink*.

I would like to share the second of the three activity books I made for the children at our wedding. Using my Bind-It-All and hard covers, I am really pleased with these gifts and believe the children and parents were surprised and pleased too :)

The stamp is from the Greeting Farm coloured with my amazing Copic markers, papers are Tim Holtz, western themed buttons from Buttons Galore. Hope you like :)

I would like to share at:

Ready for some pictures?? I can't tell you how much I cried when I saw these!!! Tears of joy of course! The day after the wedding, my photographer friend came to our home before leaving for Montreal and randomly took pictures of us and our girls. The pictures are dreamy, just like the ones I remember looking at in magazines when I was a child, dreaming of one day having my own horses. The dream is now mine!! Check these out :))

Look at this one.....Emy is laughing with me!! I love this picture!!!!!

And last but not least, My HUSBAND!!!!! :)))

Thanks for sharing the dream with me!!! With love from our home to yours xox

One for the boys & presenting my girls!! :))

Mother and daughter team of Halflinger horses are now part of our family!!!! I keep thinking that I must be dreaming!!! Both are still with previous owner, 7 minutes away so I can visit every day, but they will be coming home in the next few weeks giving us time to modify the barn and fences as they are fitted for my 2 miniature horses. Hubby is working hard to make a comfortable new home to these beautiful horses. Here they are:

Amy - 4 years old

Ella - 8 years old and Amy's momma :)

And me :)

Life is sooooooo beautiful!!!! I couldn't be happier!!! Beautiful teens, home, husband to be (yes I am at 3 months of my wedding) and gorgeous animals!!!! LaDiva's Ark is full of love and wonderful moments that I am so proud to share with all of you!

Til' we meet again xox

Ode to Gringo

Happy Sunday Bloggers :)

How was your weekend? Mine was quite relaxing. No fifth-wheel, no rodeo, I spent my time scrapping (and doing laundry) and enjoyed every minute :) Lovely weather hoping it stays all week and then on :)) I can always hope! *smile*

I would like to share a special page I did yesteday. As most of you know, my beloved miniature horse Gringo left us 2 weeks ago and as a DT project for the Boutique Herazz Scrapbooking, I was sent the fabulous Zoology papers from BoBunny. I am sure you will agree that these papers were perfect for a keepsake of my cutie mini :)

Here it is:

I am quite pleased with this, photo and layout :)) A little inside joke here at home is that I have always shown this picture saying that these were my two stallions *laugh*.

I would like to share my page here:

1. Top Tip #38 - Open Challenge
2. My Mums Craft hop #10 - Seeing Spots
3. Southern Girls #21 - Anything Goes
4. Craft Us Crazy #10 -  Masculine Theme

7. Divas By Design - Anything but a Card

All details on the products used for this project can be found on my Herazz DT bog here :)

It is Father's day here in Canada, so, for all the wonderful men out there and for my daddy sitting with the angels, Happy Father's Day xox

By The Cute and Girly - In The Garden & Gringo is now in Heaven!

Good evening ladies,

I was to post the fun challenge over at By The Cute & Girly yesterday but unfortunately, my little minitaure horse Gringo left us last night :( My apologies for my lateness but the good news is that you have the full month of June to join us in this fun and summery challenge :)

**In My Garden**

This month the design team was spoiled rotten as we got to use gorgeous doilies offered by Poppy's Cabin and digital stamps from Spesch Designer Stamps. I have chosen a square doily for my project accompanied by the *Princess and the Frog* image found here.

Hope you like :)

Can't wait to see what you will come up with!!! Make sure to pop by the By The Cute and Girly challenge blog for amazing inspiration and a sneak peak at what you could win from our so very generous sponsors :)))

Sharing my card here:

• A Spoonfull of Sugar #154 - Flower Power
• Creative Craft - Blue, Brown & Cream
• Creative Card Crew - For a Diva
• My Mums Craft Shop #8 - Things with wings
• ABC Challenge - V is for Variety
• Penny's Paper Crafty #54 - Here Comes Summer

So for those of you that follow me or know me personally, needless to say that the loss of Gringo is leaving me so very empty and broken hearted....... Losing my beloved pekingese Valentine last January on the exact date of my Dad's first year of passing and now my little stallion,,,,well,,,,,animal lovers will understand :)

We fought with Gringo, surgery after surgery but I guess Dad was lonely and needed a few pets by his side.

The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and fire. ~Sharon Ralls Lemon

If there is such a place named the City of Angels, I picture a miniature horse growing wings and flying proud like a unicorn!!

Love you Gringo, your trust and grace have changed me forever!!!!
