Well, you've heard the saying, "The dog ate my homework" and thought, "Yeah, right." In our family that would be true. In fact a couple of years ago a young lady stayed at our house to take care of our dogs and one of them really did eat her homework. Most recently one of my dogs (It's a conspiracy. I just know it is.) chewed, no, tore apart, no, demolished my day planner. It wasn't just any day planner - it was pink. Sigh. Because my planner tends to be my brain, I needed to get another one. Have you ever tried to buy a planner in the month of May? It is nearly impossible. Certainly, you cannot get the planner of your choice unless you are willing to pay a lot for it. I am not. So, necessity being the mother of invention, I bought a planner and recreated it. I used scrapbook paper and traced around it and then glued over the front cover. Next I took a sweet note that I had received from Betty, our swap hostess for art dolls at Roses on My Table and layered it on. Then added a couple of more sayings as well as the Eiffel tower. I added some lace, pearlescent heart confetti and sealed the edges in glitter glue. I think I like it. What do you think?
Please stop by and say hello to Beverly and the other pink ladies. Beverly is getting ready to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of pink Saturday.

hi Holly ,Im visiting you from "Pink Saturday" where I'm guest this week at Pink Saturday. I know your problem, years ago my problem was "the dog chewed up my photo album". With a lot of tape I saved most of my photos. Is your baby in photo a Springer? We just lost our Bentley not long ago, 13 years.......Happy Pink Saturday!

I think your planner is beautiful and one no one else in the world will have. Love your puppy dog and yep, my dog did the same thing when he was a puppy..... a Golden Retriever, whose picture is on my blog sidebar. He ate some notes I had taken plus a beautiful gardening book. I still have that torn up and misshapen book. :) HPS
I think your day-planner is beautiful one of a kind. HPS.
hugs ~lynne~
I think it is perfect! I love your dog...I had a dog just like that when I was growing up.
Have a perfectly pink day!
hugs...Tami
You never can tell what a dog will chew. I was keeping my son's dog a few years back. I made the mistake of leaving my hearing aid on the end table. I just wear one when I feel like it. Needless to say, it now has a little hole in it, but still works.
Your new planner is awesome!
Wow- you ARE a crafty little Pixie now aren't you!!!
It is just lovely- you should sell them!!
Happy Pink Saturday :)
Sparkly Hugs,
Tobi and the Pixies!
Such a beautiful dog! I love the planner you have created. My 10 yr old dachshund only eats Kleenex tissue!!!!!
I love your planner! Happy Pink Saturday, this is my first time participating and it is so fun! Marti
Your pink planner is gorgeous! Have a lovely day and make sure all of your Saturdays "Pink"
Too cute, Holly! How could any little 'fella' as cute as he, do such a dastardly deed?! Chuckle!
Love your new planner ...

Love love love your planner! Too cute. Happy Pink Saturday. Grace xoox
Hi Holly,
Oh gosh--this is way too cute!!! My dog ate a rare set of books we had...When I called to see if I could get them replaced, the man on the phone said, "Maybe your dog needed the knowledge." Well, we had the dog 17 years, and guess what? That torn book is such a reminder of him (in a good way) that now it is precious to us.
I love what you created, my dear friend...Your Paris theme is "tres chic!"
Happy Pink Saturday!!!

wel, it will be a one of a kind planner now....just hide fro the pooch. What a painful but great story. I have a sign in my room at school saying “the dog ate my homework won’t work with Ms. R!” Guess I would have to give you a pass.
I am wishing that you would make me a planner! I love it. Thanks Holly for the lovely comment on my blog today!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Cheers

Hi Holly! Your planner looks terrific. I laughed when I read your "dog ate my homework" story. I have one those, too. When my son was ten, he spent quite a bit of time doing a homework assignment. The following morning, my golden retriever had it for breakfast. Of course, I had to call the teacher and tell her that he did do his homework...and the dog ate it! Fortunately, she had a sense of humor. Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs, Terri
Your doggie looks sooo sweet. I love this breed. Thanks for stopping by.
oh no!
Love your french collage day planner...and who could stay mad at that cute little face...
Happy Pink Saturday
Oh this is so fabulous. Adore your style and I would love to have such a planner. Gorgeous!

Hi Holly! Your planner came sooo nice! I have some pretty scrapbook paper and note cards that could help me re-purpose a plain planner ;o)
Love your design and great idea!

That is a great way to jazz up your new day planner. My dog never ate homework...her ate leather shoes and once a silk floral arrangement!
Hope you had a great Pink Saturday!

Hi Holly, thank you for your comment yesterday.
I love your new notebook/planner. I am sure your lovely art work is one of a kind. Good job. Your dog is beautiful.

I love what you did with your planner. I bet it's better than the one you "lost", isn't it? Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment on my Pink Gloves post. I loved having you stop by and SO appreciate the comment. I'm going to join as your newest follower. Hope you stop in to visit me again sometime. Sandi
I can so understand your plight with the "dog ate my homework". My daughter has lost several pieces of homework this way and I actually had to go in and discuss it with her teacher. I love your new planner and it turned out lovely.
