Oh my, we sure had some entries for the Name the Puppy contest! Hundreds of cute names came in. Thanks so much, I enjoyed reading all the names and wished I had a dozen more pups to name. (but that would also mean a dozen more to mop up after too, so maybe not)
It was hard to select winners, so many were so good! But here it goes-
This little girl is Little Star and was named by Sugarwings.
Meet Millie, named by Carla for one of my favorite things in the world, millinery flowers.
And of course, I had to have a BELLA, but even better, how about Tinker Bella??? Don't you love that?? The winner for this one is Cheryl.
Sissy was the winner for this girl, her name is now Trinket.
The teeniest, tiniest puppy of them all is going to be called Micah. As in a shiny little flake of glitter! How perfect for her. The winner for this name is Jingle.
And Adeline Grace suggested Glitter. That seemed to suit this itty bitty princess.
All of the girls are modeling the heart charms that will go to the ladies who named them. If you are a winner, please send me your address, unless you are in the Puppy Love swap, and I will just add your charm to the package when I mail them out this weekend.
The last two babies are nestled into more gifts from Puppy Love swappers! Can you believe the goodies?? Tomorrow, the fairy grand baby and I are having our dress up Tea Party and opening presents together. She is very excited, especially when she saw the Tinkerbell tag on one of her packages.
Twinks can't bear me taking photos of her babies and not her, so I indulged her with this shot. I'm redoing a high chair for Sugarwings, here it is in progress. Of course, don't let Twinks know the picture is of the chair, not her.
The packages are coming in fast and furious now! I hope to make up the tag books over the weekend.
This tag swap has made me pay attention to the wall behind the bench in my studio. I've had a bad habit of hanging whatever I just found at a garage sale, or just painted, onto any old nail that was already there, over the years. But, standing at the table, sorting tags and facing the wall, made me realize how blah and unattractive it was.
Natasha, Heather and I had a discussion once about framing wallpaper as art, the three of us love it so much, we all thought it was lovely enough on its own to be framed. I finally got around to doing just that. I'm still foofing and not quite done. I want to add more small frames of wallpaper to the center of the big frames. Maybe hung on velvet ribbons? Or I might still go with the sepia photo idea. Or old post cards? But I do LOVE just wallpaper. Ooh, I could add some Millinery flowers!!!!!!
Wow I can’t believe I am the first comment… LOVE these little pups and they are the perfect names!
Your frames look gorgeous, I think no matter what you put in them they will be lovely!!! xoxo Heather
Six gorgeous little puppies with the prettiest of names. A big welcome to Little Star, Millie, Tinker Bella, Trinket, Micah, and Glitter.
I hope you and Sugarwings enjoy your Tea Party tomorrow.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
Oh my gosh! Could they be any cuter!! I love their sweet names!
Oh darn! I thought when I saw two of the names I gave, Star and Glitter, I had won. I was so close! LOL
Congrats to the winners!
I think you picked great names! I wonder if the new owners will keep the names? I hope so. They all fit so perfect!
Hugs,
Joanne
Those cuties are even sweeter with their perfect new names!!!
These photos are soooo cute…and having their names, the puppies are even cuter! Your frames are perfect, I love the vintage wallpaper and not too much else in it. Have a fun tea party and a nice weekend!
Oh how cute are those names….I also do hope they get to keep them, perhaps Karla you could do a painting of them all lined up with their names near them so they shall always be with you when they have to leave the nest….oh dear that is way to sad to think about.
The wallpaper does look very special….I am thinking some bare walls around here could have some tarting up…There is a job for the weekend,
Kiss Noises Linda
Oh my goodness…those pups and their darling (and oh so fitting) names ..just melt my heart. Serious CUTE-NESS!
Karla, you picked the perfect puppy names…they are all so cute…love the wallpaper framed idea…i have done that with my favorite snippets of pretty ledger paper…mine are just little frames though…not a statement like yours are…
I have to say, Karla, those are perfect choices for names! I especially love Tinker Bella.
great names! my favorite: tinker bella! how cute that is!
The puppies are so cute and they are so precious. I just love your idea of framing wallpaper!
Love all of the puppy names. Have you told Twinkle her puppies will be going to New Happy homes soon? She will need extra loving then.
I see my package arrived. I saw some of the goodies with “Glitter”. Yea, they arrived on time.
They are indeed perfect names! Love your framed wallpaper Karla!
Congratulations to all the winners, and to the recipients of the new Names!
The puppies are adorable and I love the names!! It will be so hard to give them up, don’t you think?
I just love your posts! They are always so interesting with such great photo’s. I hope you do one of these tag swaps again because, if so, I’m definitely in. I hate to be missing all this fun!!!
Oh, I love that you chose the tiniest little puppy to be named Micah! That’s perfect! And a perfect tiny little puppy!!! Thanks for choosing my name suggestion!
How exciting to see you chose my name of TinkerBella! And what an adorable puppy, too. Can’t wait to receive my puppy (oops, I mean my heart) in the mail with the Puppy Love Tags. I don’t envy you having to send off all of those adorable puppies soon….I’m sure they will all be going to loving homes, but I think I would get too attached! 🙂
Lovin’ your framed wallpaper…what a great idea! Well, Karla, have a wonderful weekend and tea party.
XOXO

Oh, wow, I am so exicted to be a winner. My terriers would be so jealous, but I’d love to hold all of those little cuties. Their faces are just so precious. What a great idea Linda had of doing a painting of them.
What sweet names for such cute and lovey puppies, their faces are just so adorable. The names fit them so great too. Congrats to all the lucky winners. I love the framed wallpaper, they are just gorgeous. I would never have thought to do that, fabric yes but not wallpaper. So very chic. Love you bench too.

All great names! So adorable! I think Little Star takes the cake for me 😉
Twinks is so adorable…I think I am in love with her…hehe 😉 Shhh…don’t tell Renoir…he’d be jealous.
And I love the framed wallpaper! I did that with an old window…but hadn’t ever thought to do it with picture frames. I have tons and tons just sitting around…
I love the names! Adorable! My gosh there is a lot of Valentine love happening there too!
The framed wallpaper in inspired and perfect for your space! As for the pups, every name is perfect! And they’re so darned cute! Talk about a bundle of joy!
