11 New Mother Bears are on their way to Africa!

Hi everyone!

Archie and I have been having FUN the last few months making new bears for The Mother Bear Project!

R-Chee & I love The Mother Bear Project!

All of these bears will soon be in the arms of wonderful children who will receive a big bear hug from us to them!

Here are some photos of Archie with the new bears for you to enjoy...

You can knit or crochet your bears with their wonderful easy and fun patterns.

The best part is that everyone can help these wonderful children through the Mother Bear Project even if you do not knit or crochet in lots of FUN ways!

We cannot wait to make more bears for The Mother Bear Project!

You can read all about The Mother Bear Project, its founder, Amy Berman, and all the wonderful ways we can contribute to their charity even if we do not crochet or knit!

Happy 5th Birthday Archie!!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet baby R-Chee!

Today Archie turns 5 years old and we are celebrating him today with lots of treats and toys!

R-Chee makes me laugh everyday and he is my biggest joy!

I put together a collage of photos from when he was 5 weeks old until today for you to enjoy. :)

... and here he is partying with some of his new friends!

You can see my Archie is a real party animal!

Tee Hee!

I love you Archie!

Everyday is a celebration because I have you!

Go Back to School with A Pug!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

The school bells are ringing from coast to coast!

It is time to go back to school!

The school bells are ringing 2 hours earlier for Albert in MA than for Archie who lives here in CO, but they are both bright-eyed and puggy-tailed and ready for the first day of class!

Whether you have 2 or 4 feet, there is nothing more FUN than learning something new with a friend!

Pack a smile in your kid's backpack this year with a special pug gift that is not only FUN but FUNctional too!

You will find everything you need from A to Z to start the school year right at PugNotes.com.

R-Chee & I have all of these items and more on my website for you to enjoy!

Please stop by and have a look around!

We are always here to fill your orders and answer any questions!

Have a super day!

Pug Hugs , Snores & Smiles!

Happy Monday everyone!

R-Chee & I are smiling from ear to ear!

Our friend Tiffy in CA just sent us a photo of how she is spending time with her Pug Bummlie ~ Earl!

They are enjoying their Summer afternoons playing and napping, eating and napping and then playing again! :)

Pug Bummlie ~ Earl would love to come and play with you too!

He and his sister...

Pearl

are all packed and ready to arrive on your door step! :)

Each Bummlie is one of a kind!

He or she comes to you with his or her very own name, personality & smile to share with you & your family on your exciting adventures together!

The Bummlies are so unique that once they are gone... they are gone.

New faces, new names, new colors & prints will be born as each one is quickly adopted and starting his or her new life with you!

So to avoid any disappointment...

R-Chee's advice is to purchase a Bummlie when one grabs your heart!

He will personally dance with your Bummlie, package him or her up and send them on their way to you!

The Bummlies are having so much FUN with all of you that they just cannot contain their glee!

They are bursting at the seams with excitement, so R-Chee & I have built a special gallery where they can Show & Tell all of their stories with you!

It is called The Bummlie Gallery and it's new home is...

Bummlies.com!

You may ask...

What are The Bummlies?

The Bummlies are my new line of Stuffing-Free Dog Toys for you to enjoy!

The Bummlie Gallery is a storyboard of FUN from Bummlies who have been adopted by families all over the world!

They are reporting back with adventures filled with LOVE!

You can adopt your special Bummlie today in our 

Etsy shop... 

pugnotes.etsy.com

Each Bummlie sends the message of LOVE both from his front chest and his back "bum"! :)

Handmade of soft fleece, a solid piece of terry cloth stuffing, thread and a lot of LOVE... 

Each Bummlie is unique & the perfect buddy for both dogs and kids!

They are machine washable and if opened by your 4 footed kid, they will not leave stuffing everywhere since they are safely stuffed with a terry cloth towel section that is one solid, safe piece that makes your Bummlie even more huggable!

They are approximately 10" high from tip of ears to toes and 8 " across from paw to paw.

I happily cut, sew, hand embroider and stuff each doll for you to enjoy.

Please check out The NEW Bummlie Gallery and Pug Notes etsy shop often as they are both bursting at the seams with NEW Bummlies and photos everyday!

Thank you for always playing with us!

Our Summer is Blooming!

Happy Monday everyone!

It is meeeee...

R-Chee!

Guess what we have been up to this summer?

We have been enjoying it by taking the time to stop, see & soak in all the wonderful things around us!

Like ... cooler breezes that have arrived this Summer that rarely come in July!

Enjoying the rain that falls from the clouds that gather in the bright sunny skies every afternoon.

Appreciating the flowers that pop their heads up at us!

... and creating lots of art together and then sharing it with you!

 My mom and I have had so much FUN drawing, coloring, crocheting, sewing and learning that our Summer has been flying by!

Here are some of the things we have been inspired to make with our crayons and crochet hooks so far...

"Pick Every Flower"

Wax Crayon & Collage ~ Melissa Langer 2015

...and our freeform crochet flower garden is growing!

It is so much FUN to see how it changes everyday!

I am excited to see which way it takes us next!

What FUN things are you doing this Summer?

Please leave us a note and let us know!

We cannot wait to hear all about them!

Monday Morning Musings ~ Grab Your Pug & Get in Close!

Happy Monday everyone!

I had so FUN kicking back & coloring with my crayons this weekend!

I love appreciating the stillness of Sunday mornings.

Before the sun rises, it feels like everyone in the world is still asleep except for the little birds singing outside and my sweet R-Chee looking up at me with his groggy pug eyes.

It is the perfect time to grab my crayons and a cup of tea and color the morning away!

Look who came out to play with us!

This little pug appeared to remind us to...

"Get In Close"

Wax Crayon & Collage

and listen to what the stillness has to say!

What does your "Inner Pug" say to you?
