Santa and Satan and a Design Wall

Oh oh.  Did  you know  Santa and Satan are spelled with the same letters?  Don't ask me how I found that out today, but I did.  Satan aside, we did some really good work today.  By lunchtime we surpassed the number of photo packages we did last year!  This is our second largest fundraiser for or spay and neuter programs.

I know we hit the 100 package mark but I not sure how many we went over.  Charles picked up the computers after the last person checked in and Carrie and Hugeaux had come in.  I was taking a load off my aching feet and talking with my GrandDog.

We had face painting and cute little girls all white and red.








We had strollers full of 10 little dogs.....yes, 10 little dogs all in one double stroller wheeled themselves in.   About half of them were poodles.

We had HUGE poodles too!  Look at these beauties.

Cole, does this make your tongue drool?

 We had dogs with 3 legs and those with 4 legs.

This white guy is a Clumber Spaniel.  you don't see those a lot.  They were my doggy clients from a while back.

Look at these cute faces!  Both have golden hair, red bow, expressive eyes.

 Santa had his elves working with him as well.  This one does our newsletters!  No way could I pull that outfit off as well as she does!

 At the end of the day even our dog wranglers seem a bit crazy!






 And we had Cavaliers who WERE related to me and some who WERE NOT related to me. 

My feet are killing me!


I had a chance to finish up 8 more of the 100 blocks last night while Frank was watching football, LSU I think. That makes it 20% done right now.  But I can't stop.

So this is what  my design wall looks like  

Check out Judy's blog to see what others are working on.



For the Stash Report I am going to call the inflow of Pat's scraps and the outgo of my blocks as a wash, since I am cutting up the bits and bits and pieces of incredible colors.  Why are his scraps more exciting than mine?

I am just loving these 100 Modern Blocks of Tula Pink.  They are so addicting.....

Santa CAAWS in Baton Rouge

A fabulous way to support local animal rescue and support Spay and Neuter Programs is to have your dog's photo taken with Santa CAAWS again this year.  Proceeds go to supporting our shelter animals as well as our Low Income Spay and Neuter Program in the community.

Our doglets always get no Santa CAAWS because we set up the day before and get the dogs done so we can work the whole day without dogs.  Who knows what McGee would eat if he had to stay the whole day!

Stop by our location at Cortana Mall Entrance 3 (by the old Mervyns store) between 9 and 4 on Sunday November 10, 2013 and get those photos made.

Mari is a professional photographer who donates her time and camera skills.  Choose from a number of cards or one of our photo packages.  Or both!

There will be Santa CAAWS himself and our two ditsy elves to share the camera lens with you.  Or just your dog, our just your kids.  We love kids too!

Please come, we desperately need funds to continue our work.  This year we have S/N over 1000 animals in the community and found loving homes for nearly 150 cats and dogs.
