One that has proven to be a Family Plaques & More favorite is this “Fleurs de bébé” name plaque. Everything on the plaque is hand painted. The background is done in a matte, antique white, the flowers are varying shades of pink. Check it out:

The first major snow storm of 2012 is pounding Denver right now ( 12″ and counting, at the moment) and Tara is in hog heaven. My 2 1/2 year old GSD loves the snow, and she has been having a ball romping & stomping this morning.

Everyone in Denver – stay safe & enjoy the snow day!

In addition to the picture I posted of Tara the other day, here is another favorite. It was about 1 degree out and she was in heaven, chewing on a fresh knuckle bone:

 I love owning a GSD so much that I’ve created a new collection of plaques called, Life’s Better©.  You can customize the breed of dog, but here is what I created for our home:

My brother Christopher, who served in the Navy, posted this quote on his Facebook page today. I loved it so much, I wanted to share it here and say thank you. Thank you to all military personnel, serving, retired and no longer with us, for your selfless acts & for safeguarding our freedom. We don’t thank you enough.

Those who live today remember those who do not. Those who know freedom remember today those who gave up life for freedom.

Today, in honor of the dead, we conduct ceremonies. We lay wreaths. We speak words of tribute. And in our memories, in our hearts, we hold them close to us still. Yet we also know, even as their families knew when they last looked upon them, that they can never be fully ours again, that they belong now to God and to that for which they so selflessly made a final and eternal act of devotion.

At long last, we have finally added the first product to our series of Indoor Quote plaques. We’ve taken some of the plaques vertical, like this one, which reads:

“Being a family means you are part of something very wonderful. It means that you will love and be loved the rest of your life. No matter what.”

We are offering this plaque in multiple text styles, colors and decorative ornaments, but here is our favorite text style (light brown on our Onyx colored plaque). You can purchase this on Amazon.com or our website.

Being A Family Means Plaque

We love this plaque, and hope you do as well. We’re always interested to hear what quotes our customers want to see on a plaque, so feel free to submit your favorite quote. Email us at sales @ familyplaque.com. It could end up in our store! Visit our website to see all our family plaques & signs, or build your own with our one-of-a-kind Plaque Builder!

It’s been a while since I posted a picture of Tara, our 2 1/2-year old red sable GSD, which is surprising, honestly, considering how many pictures I take of her! I took this picture during one of our walks last week - isn’t she gorgeous!

Here is a picture of Tara the day after we brought her home – look how little she was!
