5:21 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Friday Everyone!! Today our family is on our way to Virginia to attend my dear nephew's wedding tomorrow. It will be a long trip for us but fun to see all the family and friends!! I have scheduled posts for every day while I am away so it will be like I am not even gone in blogland. LOL! Oh and don't forget...Monday...Whimsy has a new release blog hop on Monday!!

It's time for the Wags N' Whiskers Challenge. This weeks challenge is brought to us by the lovely and talented Nikki and she has chosen a a colour challenge...."Pink and Green". I just love this fun color combo!!!
The adorable image I am using this week is from the "Fun in the Sun" new release collection....."Picnic with a Friend".
