Thursday evening Derek and I came home to a shredded papery mess.  It seems that our little fur ball of terror, Wrigley, just couldn’t wait another day to open Christmas presents….so she tore into two freshly wrapped packages under the tree.  Thing is, neither one were for her.  DANG DOG!

Thankfully, she only shredded the wrapping and boxes.  The contents inside remained mostly unscathed.  There were some teeth marks here and there, but nothing to cry over.

This was a big scare since we have a BRAND NEW couch coming in the next few weeks.  See, we had to buy a new couch since SOMEONE ate the last one.  Hahmmm! Hahmmm!  Remember this post?  It’s been about a year since she has destroyed anything but a dog toy, and we thought it was time to go ahead and buy a new non-nasty couch.  Wrigley, please don’t prove us wrong.  Pretty Please!

One of the presents she tore into contained perfume.  I really hope it was her nose that led her to this trail of terror, and not her overactive puppy brain.

My birthday is coming up this month, and I can never think of anything to ask for when people ask me.  I’m gonna try something new this year and post ideas of things that I would love to have for my b-day.  Mom, Dad, Derek…here you go.  My birthday wish list…

Draper Stripe  ::  Ash :: Queen

Glass Drink Dispenser ::  small

Coral Coast Cedar Adirondack Chair-Natural ::  for the new fire pit

Magnifying Sconce ::  2 if possible

Dotty Match Apron

Last Friday one of my friends at work threw me a bridal shower.  It was my very first one….yeah!  I know it was kind of early, but we are moving from the main building at work, to a building two blocks away, and my friend wanted to make it easy on everyone invited.

Here are some pics from the shower…

These are gift tags that I purchased off Etsy.  Ihey were my first purchase on Etsy.  I adore them.  I think I will use them for my attendent gift & shower hostess gifts.  The little birdies go along nicely with my love birds on the invites.  Don’t ya think?
