Pixie's Snippets Playground - Challenge #408 - Ruby's Memory

Hello again - thanks for calling by! It's time for another snippets challenge dedicated to dear sweet Ruby's Memory, in aid of the centre who originally rescued her, and this is our fifth one.

The prize for this challenge has been kindly offered by Brenda (Lawrence) - she still has the prize in the USA and will post it directly to the winner, no matter where they live. I've 'borrowed' an image from the supplier's website - and your ears may well prick up when I mention the magic words Gina K:

It's the really beautiful 'Peaceful Roses Mini' stamp set by Gina K. To see some gorgeous samples, please hop over to Gina's website HERE. 

Brenda is recovering from a nasty knee injury right now but we have a few weeks to go until the draw and one of her sons might post the prize if she can't.

As always, the Snippets Challenge will run for two weeks and the Playground gates will close at 11am UK time on Saturday 7th August. The gates will open again at midnight UK time on the same day.

It's a maximum of ONE entry, please say in a comment if you wish to play and be a possible winner of the prize. Please also link back to the Playground in your blog post to be eligible for the draw.

Remember, if you link into the Playground and don't say clearly that you want to be in the draw in a comment on here, then you will be bypassed if your name comes out of Mr Linky. I'm sure you all know I ask for a positive 'yes' on the blog post itself - just in case you're only playing for fun - otherwise I don't add you to my little list. And I won't be splitting the prize of course.

 

Please also remember that I only allow a total of nine other challenges, which makes 10 in total, when you enter a snippets make into the Playground.

 

Dudley had a quiet but very happy 3rd Birthday on Thursday. He did get an especially great card from his 'God Mum - who know who you are' which warranted three dabs of his nose, high praise from the little guy! He already has so many toys, only some of which are his firm favourites, and I almost didn't buy him a new toy. But, miraculously a 'honking duck' arrived courtesy of Amazon in the nick of time on Wednesday and, after hesitancy at first, he really loves it. He had a bath yesterday and is like a ball of white fluff right now.

It's been almost unbearably hot this past week and I've badly neglected commenting on Challenge #407. Apologies - I'll be there as soon as possible.

Don't forget, Scrappy Mo's Rudolph Days Challenge begins today and runs until the end of July HERE.

 

The hedgies are thriving as well as eating us out of house and home. Last night one was rolled onto it's back and lying flat - idly giving its tummy a really good scratch - we weren't quick enough to take a photo but it's certainly something we've never seen before. They seem to be particularly relaxed and almost tame this year. Dudley just looks at them but never disturbs them.

And last, but not least, a photo of Dudley taken sitting on one of his favourite 'lookout' spots by Len last week. Nope, he hasn't taken up smoking - it's a small chew, which he tends just to 'tinker' with, although he insists on a brand new one each day. None of this 'sneaking a barely touched one back into the packet' and offering it again the following day. The little monkey always knows if we try that trick! 😂

Lots of love from us all - Parsnip, Dudley and of course me,
