Christmas Costumes

[Jessica, Loki and Moose]

Hello everyone,

So I decided for the Christmas Card exchange I would dress the boys up and let me tell you they are not thrilled at the idea....Loki just sat there and seemed confused and Moose looked so miserable and finally just flopped over. So I haven't looked through my pictures on my camera yet to see if there are any good ones to use- hopefully! At least I have this gem for memories sake!

On another totally unrelated note I had little cards made for Loki's therapy dog visits which he starts soon! One of the testers had something similar- I'm biased but I think Loki's are cuter. He will be starting at the University of Michigan hospital and eventually transfer to Mott, the children's hospital (part of U of M). Also in December he gets to visit the U of M campus and de stress the students during finals week so hopefully these cards come in soon and he can get started on his visits :)

Bye for now!

Linda-thanks! They seemed so confused at first so it made it cute but then the hat fell into Loki's eyes and he still didn't move- they are funny ones!

Your photo made me laugh!  Very cute.

oh good idea for the cards! I ended up getting a few good shots so I'm going to try and put together a card but otherwise I will be taking a note from your book! I can't see the photo that you posted though :/

Perfect therapy card. It is adorable and I am sure cuter than the other lady's!  When making greeting cards, I choose from my favorite pics of that year. To be one of my favs, I look at crisp quality of the photo, background, that I can see eyes (Ned's coat blocks his eyes after about a week) - and on my light guys - not blown out (too light) on the top of their heads. I don't get that many really good pics of them together so I don't confine myself to seasonal looks - I attempt them but it is usually a big fail.  I try to choose a card format that fits the pictures I have - which often has a place for them separately. For example, you could crop each dog's best Christmas photo and design a two-photo card.
