This week at
it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and for 2024 she's doing challenges inspired by Def Leppard songs. So fun! This first challenge is based on one of their most popular songs (at least that's how I remember it), "Pour Some Sugar on Me", which means she wants to see projects that are sweet.
I went very literal and this is what I did......
....I made a Christmas shaker ornament featuring candy! And, for bonus points, I actually included the word sweet on my make. Got a mishmash of all different products on here....some Doodlebug stickers, Recollections shakers bits....and I believe the sweet die is Recollections as well, Christmas die is Honey Bee Stamps....and there was probably a tittle for the i when I cut it but it got lost immediately, and the rest is who-knows old stash. (:
A little news for those who don't mind reading non-project parts in posts....both my oldest baby and sub-baby as well as myself, have recently gotten puppies. Yay puppies!! Theirs is an 8 week old golden retriever....
...who decided to take a nap on my youngest sub-baby's lap. And ours is a 9 month old Australian Labradoodle....
who is an angel but somehow manages to move every time I snap a photo. This is honestly the only one I have of her face....well, half her face. We didn't really plan on getting puppies at the same time, it just worked out that way, which is good because they can be friends. (: I had been looking for an older puppy for a few months now (one that was in my budget....some breeders are asking anywhere from $4000 - $16,000 for an older puppy or a trained older puppy)....I just didn't want to do the whole puppy crate-training, house training all over again (even though it was about 15 years since I had done it last). Miley is definitely crate-trained, and house-trained for the most part....she's had a couple accidents since we got her but that's to be expected. She's basically crashed today (this being her fourth whole day with us).....and it currently dreaming (as I can tell from the little twitches) right beside my desk. My cats are still very hesitant around her, Miley has gotten over her hesitation and wants to play, but they aren't having any of it yet. Pretty sure my oldest cat of the two, Daisy, is laughing at Ollie saying, "See, what it's like? Someone trying to chase you, always trying to get you to play, eating your food if you leave any in the dish. How do you like it?" lol
