Title: October/ November quote
Hi everyone!
We’ve had just about every weather condition in the last few days – boiling, freezing, windy and rainy (not enough, but better than nothing!). We’ve also been lucky enough to have a couple of hours of perfect weather. Today it’s cold & windy, so me-thinks its a good scrapbooking day…
Our October/November ‘quote’ is actually a short and apparently anonymous piece of prose. It speaks volumes about our relationships with dogs, and hopefully inspires us to be better people. We’ve included it in the following layout.
“He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.”
I actually got some advice from my photography teacher on how to take photos of photos, so hopefully this pictures is better than the last one!
If you can’t access or view it, please let me know and I’ll send you a PDF version.
Hope you enjoy!
Happy scrapping,
Alison

Title: September quote and layout
Our September quote is "Her function is to sit and be admired" (Georgina Strickland Gates). We changed it slightly because our model Bert is a he, but the sentiment is the same. Bert loves to be admired (he knows he's special!). Apologies for the amateur photography - I've worked out a better way to do it, so watch this space for more layouts and better pics!
Hope you're keeping busy- especially during school holidays!
Bye for now,

Title: Stuffed stickers?!
Hi friends,
Check out the 'Plush Stickers' category in both Dogs and Cats, for the cutest rage of stickers. These are the stuffed stickers from Mrs Grossmans Stuck on Pets range. They come in a wide range of dog and cat breeds, and are all roughly 12x8cm in size. These look great on all sorts of craft projects, from paper crafts to clothing, hats and bags. They're are a discontinued line, and we have fairly limited quantities so get in quick! Some of the popular breeds have already sold out...
Until next time,
Alison

Title: Welcome to my first blog!
Wow – my first blog! This is kind of daunting…
I’m going to start by saying (or should that be admitting) that I’m not the best or most creative scrapbooker. I really enjoy it and do stuff that I’m proud of, but when I look at the incredible creations in scrapbook magazines, mine don’t compare!
But…my pages are most definitely about creatures. Because I love creatures – dare I say it – great and small!
So this store is really about our love of animals and our need to scrapbook them like we do all the other important members of our families.
I’m going to dedicate the store to two very special friends I have loved and lost. Logan (my first horse, I lost tragically in 1994) and my beautiful 20yo cat Joey (passed away in 2004). I grew up with these two wonderful characters: they shaped my life and the person I am today. It’s hard not to get teary when I write about them.
So, I’ve decided to leave the creative flair and scrapbooking trends to the experts. I’m going to source quotes, sayings and poems to help you put together beautiful pages to celebrate your “fur friends” (or “feather friends” or “wool friends” or even “fin friends”).
My first quote, which also adorns the home page is by Rudyard Kipling. It says it all:
"... he will be our friend for always and always and always."
Thanks for reading – I hope you’ll check back from time to time. Because we’re constantly finding new and gorgeous animal products. If you have any special requests, please let us know.
Now, if you’ll indulge me a minute, here’s Joey & Logan. Miss you boys so much xxx.
Cheers,Alison
