DIY Elevated Dog Feeder from Vintage Trunk
November 29, 2012
I found this cool, silver trunk at the Goodwill for only $12. My roommate and I shopped there during the 50% off Black Friday weekend. I love sales especially when they are on already cheap items.

St. Bernard Silouhette Art
October 8, 2012
I got this idea from The Creativity Exchange. She had her dog sit, took a picture, made it black and white, then stenciled it. I didn’t want to make my puppy sit and wait for him to be at the perfect pose for a picture, then do all the photo editing. So, instead, I cut […]

Announcing my Etsy Store!
August 20, 2012
