Friends, awards and etsy!

Here's who a spent a few days with last week. My gorgeous and very precious friend Lea. Thanks in advance Lea for letting me borrow this photo from your blog. :) This photo was taken just before we left and I think I look about as tired as I felt, lol. Here are two BFFs, very happy to be spending a few days together. Bella was beside herself with excitement when she saw Tassy thru the window when we arrived. She didn't know we were coming!
Doing their usual, playing dress-ups, plus some dancing. These two also like to tango, lol.
We had a quick trip to a park before the heavens opened up. Very quick trip! lol

Bella and Tassy with some professionally applied make-up and their little puppy and tiger who quickly became best friends too.
We had such a lovely time in Wagga! Thanks so much Lea!
