Etsy Beagle Team Challenge

Here is my latest creation. It was made for the Etsy Beagles Team holiday challenge. The theme of the challenge was, Happy Howlidays.

I made similar necklaces for my sister (and myself) last year. It is whimsical and lots of fun to wear. I receive so many compliments on it. I've decided to make more that are decorated in a way that makes them appropriate to wear year round. Maybe a gardening snowlady? Perhaps a fishing snowman? A cat loving snowlady? A tropical Snowman with flamingos and palm trees? This could be lots of fun. Any ideas or requests?

I would like to invite you all to stop by the Etsy Beagles Team blog. You'll see each of the entries and a quick comment on which is your fave, gives you a chance to win a prize.

Sweet Pea Wins!

Sweet Pea was the inspiration for Frums Glass Menagerie. She is always in the studio ready to help make stuff to donate to her favorite dog rescue organizations. She is a dog clothes super model, often working for mere biscuits. We are proud of her.

Today, a bit prouder, as she is the photo contest winner in a fun, political themed fundraiser for Italian Greyhound Rescue Fund. She even won a necklace, which she plans to re donate to an upcoming rescue fundraiser.

Please visit this link to see the all the members of her party, the RePUPlicans, and to read about her. Check out the all the participants of the RePUPlicans and the BIRDocrats by clicking on the bone and the bird at the bottom of the page. NOTE: Sweet Pea's brother, Farful shown as a rePUPlican is actually a registered BIRDocrat. He blames his sister for this mistake, but stays true to being an Official Piddler General.

In March, we attended the Philidelphia Flower Show. We also visited a National Historical Site, the home of Edgar Allen Poe. I would have thought I'd come home with lots of flower painting ideas, but instead, I want to paint ravens.
