I had the opportunity to be a contributer at http://gotsketch.blogspot.com/ for Valerie Salmon's sketch #70. Valerie's sketches are fantastic & I loved working with this one. Make sure to check out her blog for the latest contest - use sketch #70 & upload it to the Got Sketch? blog gallery for a chance to win prizes.

Boer Goats - our newest additions!

We have 2 new additions to our family - Gingersnap & Felicity. Gingersnap came from Bayside Boer Goats in Elizabeth City, NC - she's about 8 months old & is Danielle's first breeding doe. Gingersnap is a purebred Boer.



Felicity came from the Mindeman's - she's about 2 months old & such a sweetie. She will also be a breeding doe & is a Boer/Nubian cross. Danielle is thrilled with her girls!! :)

State Fair & Our New Baby Ducks

Danielle & I had a fantastic time at our state fair yesterday. It was the 1st time either of us has gone to the state fair. We spent almost all day with the animals - All the animals were amazing. :) We loved the rodeo - Danielle's favorite was the barrel racing. We were also able to watch several friends compete in the goat events (Danielle loved this since she'll be doing it next year) - several of them won awards, even a state champion (yeah Nicole)!

Of course, Danielle's all-time favorite place was the baby animal barn. It's not enough that we'll be adding baby goats & a baby pig in the next couple months - she thought we also needed baby ducks!! Well - I couldn't resist either - they're totally adorable!! She called her Dad from the fair & got him to say yes. Next thing I know, we're carrying a box with 6 baby ducks back to the truck!! :) That brings our current count to: 2 dogs, 3 cats, 12 chickens, 4 guinea hens, 2 peacocks & 6 ducks.

Here are a few quick photos of our newest additions:

The June 2008 Sugar kit at ScrapDango featured the Frenzy line from We R Memory Keepers. Loved working with this line.
