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!

Finger Painting is FUN!
Happy Monday everyone!
Do you remember what it was like to finger paint as a kid?
I remember how fun and free it was to stick my fingers in the pretty colors of paint set out for us by the teacher.
I can still feel the sensation of the cool & slick pigments on my fingers.
The construction paper always felt rough at first when my fingertips spread the paint in lots of different shapes to form a picture.
When we are children, we do not judge what we do... we just do it and enjoy it as we do it!
That is what life is all about... enjoying the moment and appreciating the experience of whatever we are doing.
As we grow up, we lose some of that ease of just doing it to do it. It always has to mean something or "be" something, and that pressure can kinda take the fun out of what we are doing.
So when I saw a Finger Painting Class offered by my favorite "art teacher" :) Carla Sonheim, I could not wait to sign up!
In this wonderful 3 lesson, mini class, we relearn how to smush paint around again and have FUN seeing what appears on the page!
Here are the paintings I have made so far...
Three little Pugs all in a row!
A Bear
...and a Bunny!
They were so much fun to make and I cannot wait to see who else pops to life.
I highly recommend checking out all of Carla's classes.
She is an amazing teacher!
It does not matter if you think you cannot draw or paint. :)
If you can scribble on a piece of paper, you are an artist!
She will teach you a whole toolbox of wonderful techniques and from the very first lesson... all of a sudden art appears!
It is relaxing, fun and exciting just to create!
I would love to see what you make!
Please feel free to share it with me!
I would love to see!

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...
You may ask...
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...
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!
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!

Aloha from the Bummlies ~ Earl & Eli Make Waves in Hawaii!
Happy Wednesday everyone!
My name is Mabel and I live in Idaho at the Idaho Pug Ranch with my wonderful family!
I love playing with my Pug Bummlie Earl and we dream of all the adventures we can take together!
My pawrents took Earl with them to California earlier this year on a whirl wind vacation!
My dream is to go to Hawaii with my Pug Bummlie Earl and go to a real luau!
I got the idea after talking to my friends, Betsy & Tobie-Ann who live in Hawaii all year long!
Tobie-Ann chillaxing with Earl & Eli!
Their sweet mom Cora Y., wrote this wonderful note to let R-Chee know that they welcomed them to their new home with open paws!
"Hi Melissa & Archie!
As I knew they would, Betsy and Tobie-Ann love snoozing and playing with Earl and Eli!
Thank you for your creative genius in making adorable and safe toys for the 'kids'!
Cora, Betsy and Tobie-Ann"
Thank you Cora for sharing your JOY with us!
