I didnt have any clocklit as mummy said Im not allowed as doggies mustnt eat it... but she did me a lovely boiled egg instead...  I hadnt had a whole boiled egg before and after licking it alllllllll round the kitchen floor I eventually eated it and yummmmmmmmm it was sooo nice...I felt very speshul too cos one of my mummies friends LizG sent me my very own card with my name on !and even better it had my most favourite treats in the whole world with it too...  what i call chickky strips oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh they are yummylicious they make my mouth go all splodgy before i eat them.... and i will even do dancing and rolly poly for mummy wivout growling !

On saturday Mummy had a party with all her friends at Docrafts because she said it was their birthday..  mummy had being doing lots of taptapping on her pooter to make it all nice for everyone and she was being very smiley... BUT then she said i had to help by wearing this silly hat..  well..... I wasnt quite sure i suited it to be honest with you...

anyways when mummy said she would show all the nice peoples my hat i decided id better sit nice for my picture... after all i didnt want to look too stoopid in my pictures....

I cut the bird out of downloaded music paper which I distressed using spun sugar and antique linen distress inks. the cage was cut from brown paper stock which i spritzed with glimmer mist and poured enchanted gold embossing powder on (told you i was having a nice play hehe)
