Customer Photo Gallery ~ Books & Calendars

I am so excited! Two wonderful customers from TN and IL sent me pictures yesterday of their families enjoying their Pug Notes Books & Calendars. I have added them to the Customer Photo Gallery.

I smiled from ear to ear when I got these photos and emails…

The first set of pictures is from Beth M. from TN:

Melissa, I wanted to send you some pics of your drawings I used from a calendar I bought a couple of years ago. I saved the calendar to use specifically for this purpose. I absolutely love the prints, and everyone goes nuts when they see them over the crib. I also have a pug light switch cover and night light in the room. And lots of other pug art! It’s adorable!! I’m hoping she will automatically be predisposed to loving pugs with them surrounding her in the room. Sincerely, Beth M., TN

In related news, I just released the new 2010 Dog Art and Pug Art calendars with a new fun retro dot border around each image…

The second wonderful customer photo is of Amanda, Matt and Maggie the pug enjoying their Story, Activity and Coloring books. The Photo is courtesy of Pat. S., from IL 

I love creating and sharing new books. I am working on a new one now that I hope to be able to show you soon.

Here are the available books in the Pug Notes Library…

• ABC Book
• Emmitt & Olive
• Why Am I Special?
• Activity Workbook
• Coloring Books
• Calendars
• Journal
• Pugisms

Emmitt and I love to share the stories and paintings that come from our journey and see how they fit into your journey’s too!

Thank you so much for visiting and sharing with us!

Senior Black Pug – A73

I am so excited to introduce my new Senior Black Pug into the Pug Notes family.

The image is available on all of my products that you can choose a design.

I love these distinguished, wise faces that have so much love written all over them!

Senior Pug – A72

Hi everyone! As promised here is my newest senior pug!

I just love how he turned out. He is available on my website on all of my products where you can choose a design.

and … I made a note card set on Etsy of all 3 designs of my senior pugs. What a distinguished group!

These three puggies make me smile as I see my Emmitt in all of them.

Senior Pug – A71

 

Happy Monday everyone!

Look who joined the Pug Notes family this weekend?

Meet the newest Senior Pug asking Emmitt’s favorite question… Is it time to eat yet?

 

This new painting is available on all of my products where you can choose the design.

Here is Emmitt asking the exact same question, but my pug is simultaneously making a sound similar to the air being slowly let out of a balloon to create a little drama to the event.

So here is a question Fred and I would love to know the answer to… Do your doggies sing funny songs at meal time, or is it just Emmitt?  He is such a ham!

Black Pug Painting – A70

 
Happy Friday everyone!

I am so excited to introduce my 70th Pug Painting to you!

He is a very happy black pug waiting for a cookie!

He is available on all of my products where you can choose the design.

 
The weather here in Colorado is warm and sunny. We plan on doing some gardening with Emmitt there to help.

What do you have planned on this last weekend of May?

Seattle Pug Party 2009

Melissa and Guido

We had a fabulous trip to Seattle to attend the Seattle Pug Party on Saturday.

We met so many of our blog and online friends that the whole day became a magical event.

Some of the people who stopped by are Puglette and her family, Connie Conley, Tara Ross, Sabra, Cammie, Winston & Cosette, Joan & Skippy who also had an amazing booth at the party for her amazing company, Linden Line Designs.

A happy puggy!

Puglette’s Charlie and Ollie

To celebrate a wonderful show and day, Melanie and I went to the Pike Street Market for dinner.

We only had a few hours on Saturday evening to see some of Seattle but we had perfect weather and could not have asked for a better day!

This is a shot of the Space Needle as we zoomed to the airport at 6:00 am Sunday morning.

We had a fabulous time in Seattle. As we were leaving the Pike Street Market, I looked down and saw this wonderful bag smiling up at me. I said to myself, what a perfect ending to a perfect day!

Life is Art… Art is Life!

San Diego Pug Party 2009

We had a fabulous time at the San Digeo Pug Party!

 

The theme was Rockn’ Through the Ages and it was a blast!

Hundreds of people and pugs turned out for a day filled with contests like a cupcake eating contest, pug kissing contest, costume contest, a huge raffle, all you can eat meatball pug bar and more!

We were so excited to see our friend Mindy and her pugs, Elvis and Dandy.

She is wearing a shirt with a portrait of her Elvis puggy done by our very own Nancy Medina!

Our friends Liz & Jon brought their frenchie, Henri Hopper, and their new baby boy, Noah, to the party. We were so excited to see them!

Melanie’s handmade bears were a huge hit!

We love San Diego and cannot wait until next year!

I also want to thank all of you for playing with Emmitt while I was away! Your special posts, comments and photos all made me happy and laugh out loud. I am very lucky to have you as friends!
