There was enough space in the classroom area at the Paper Garden for our dogs to come in periodically throughout the session! One of my friends who took classes at the store, Miko, asked for the autographs of Cooper, Emma and Monica for her Paper Garden bag. The kids thought that was pretty awesome - and then she wondered if we could somehow get the dogs pawprints on there!
Biscuit, our 5 year old Cairn Terrier, was not cooperative in the least - but Kip, our 3 year old Cairn, is always up for anything!
We carefully dipped his paw into a Versamagic Gingerbread inkpad - making sure that we got the ink on his pads evenly. I can only imagine what he was thinking!
We then gently pressed his paw onto the canvas pad - that's Cooper helping me - so that we could get a pawprint.
And voila! The Memory Box 2011 Tour includes Dave, Monica, Emma, Cooper, Kip and Biscuit - all signed personally (well the paw print counts for both dogs).
We rinsed his paws afterwards - and in case you are wondering, it came right off!
How cute! Adorable!
