First Ever Post

Well I always said that I would not "get into" this blogging thing - and look at me now!!! My first ever entry. This is a huge step for me as I am so computer challenged it isn't funny - but what the heck here I am.
I have or am in the process of setting up this blog as a place to keep in touch with family, friends and anyone else who stops by. It is my little spot where I will upload my latest scrapping layouts and share some antics (hopefully funny ones) and photos of my home zoo.
For those who are just getting to know me I'll tell you a little about myself - I am currently living in WA, have a darling husband - we are both in the Navy so we tend to travel around a lot. No kids - maybe one day. The zoo tends to keep us busy as it is. Currently we have three Malamutes Nanook, Sharnii and Tiara - I am a registered breeder so every now and then we have a lot more little pups running around the place. We have one Devon Rex cat called Gizmo and another on the way - she is currently with her breeder and we are waiting for her to get a bit older before she joins our zoo. Adrian is a keen bird lover so we have a backyard fully of rainbow lorikeets at last count we had 14 lorikeets and that isn't counting the babies!!!
Well that's it for my first posting - I am off to see if I can work out how to individualise this blog and make it more me!!

Well I have managed to work out how to upload photos - take a look at the first one - it is of my two fur babies, Nanook and Sharnii.
Hugs

Ugh what a tragedy

Well it was for me anywayz. My precious monitor konked out on me today. I only had the computer for two years so there shouldn't have been any reason for it to konk out but it did. I even hooked it up to my mom's computer and it lasted for about twenty minutes and then it just went blank. I had to buy another one for $60 at a computer store and it is bigger, 19" screen and I like it but next time I am getting either a laptop or a flat panel monitor. I don't know if a laptop can hold as much memory as a desktop comp but if it can I am moving to that.

Look at what I made Yay!! And now she has a hat!!!

Here is the first outfit I made for a doll. It's basically all hdc's, and the straps are sc's. The bottom of the top is grannies and the bottom of the pants are two dc's in each stitch. The waist of the pants are dc's and a drawstring to keep them up. I'm now going to make and outfit for a Cabbage Patch doll since I know I can make doll clothes.




and here she is with her hat. I got the pattern from Christina's site the only difference was I didn't put the straps on it.

Gifts given to me by my Elf

These are two Fairies given to me by my Elf on Crochetville and also the postcard too. I love Fairies and I like to get postcards too. One of them, my elf said is a sprite waiting to get her wings so she is sitting there watching lol.

Two new things to add
