Season Greetings

I have been working on our Christmas card as well as my Thank you cards(since I have been nice this year). Here is what I have so far, expect to see them in your email/mail soon.
Interestingly, blogger has decided that the dachshund "Thank You" card needed a color change. The real file has an offwhite/cream background with the dachshund and antler outline in brown. The patten consist of gold, olive/avacado green, and a brick red. The stars are gold. I do like bloggers winter wonderland color scheme...gotta love computers!

We are having a Christmas gift exchange in our office so I have been trolling Thinkgeek.com in search of a gift for our network admin.(the name I drew). It was by chance that I came upon this: (how is it I always manage to find stuff I want when shopping for others...selfish selfish!)

I just love thinkgeek item descriptions:
Doggy Blackmail
"All day long you toil at your office. And all day long your dog(s) and/or cat(s) sit around awaiting your return, doing nothing but miss you. Or so you think. But how can you find out what your pet really does all day? It's easy, if you have a Pet's Eye View Digital Camera. Just clip it to their collar, and it will record snapshots of their day! You'll have a photo diary of your pet's travels and travails.
Set the timer to record a shot every 1, 5, or 15 minutes and the Pet's Eye View Digital Camera is good to go. At the end of the day, you can download the shots to your computer and see what your pet did all day. The camera is plug-and-play, so there's no software to load (it basically works like a thumb drive)! Who chewed up your slippers when you were at work? Now you have photographic evidence - it was your neighbor, Eric. Bad Eric - bad neighbor."

Spiders

I wish I had seen this prior to Halloween since our theme was spiders, it's pretty scary even in the daylight. The costume is so well done.
