She donates another one! This time it is a COONHOUND! (sorry image turned out a little off-tone in the scan!) Check out the raccoon in the tree! This switch plate is one of a kind, no two are alike. It is absolutely gorgeous! This is an oversized single toggle switchplate, and was designed by the donator, as are all her switchplates. The design is decoupaged to the switchplate and then hand painted in several painting mediums including the 3-D paint giving the design that beautiful dimensional look. The Art of Decoupage has been around for centuries and is a beautiful form of Art. The 3-D painting technique has been used for many years. She has been using the 3-D paint technique for over 15 years and adds a beautiful dimension to any medium, the switchplate being just one. The screws are painted to match the design then switchplate and screws are varnished and sealed for durability. This will look beautiful in your home. Would also make a great gift for that favorite Coonhound lover on your gift list. Other breeds are available, other items available. Check out her: dog switchplates and her home page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Village/2795/index.htm!
P.S.-She has also donated a Kees cover plate to The American Keeshond Society (TAKS) raffle. Thanks Geri for ALL your donations.

Item # A_35

The "Eskie on an Igloo" figurine. A beautiful and very life-like sculpture. The base measures 8 ¼" x 8", height is 8 ½ " high, the dog himself measures 5 ¾" long. This piece depicts a handsome Eskie caught in a dog's life moment as he sits atop an Igloo. A special Edition Figurine. This is no little figurine! Good size and simply B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!! Each comes with a gold tone neck chain and a tag that says "My Dog". A wonderful true-to-nature rendering in a long lasting stone resin. A previous auction winner and donator of this figurine (no she did NOT give her figurine up, this is a new one still in the box), Valerie Wheeler, says of this figurine: Even though there is a good picture and a wonderful description on the auction web site, this figurine far exceeded my expectations. It is larger and more substantial than I was picturing, and the detailing is incredible. You can see every strand of hair on the Eskie, and the face is even more adorable than it appears in the picture. Every block of "ice" used to "build" the igloo can be clearly seen, and the bone in the dog bowl is totally adorable. The icing on the cake is the realistic-looking snow unevenly "piled" around the base of the igloo; the pawprints in the snow leading to the entrance are so cute. I can't imagine that anyone could possibly be anything but totally thrilled with this special figurine. Sorry if this sounds like a commercial announcement, but I really am pleased with my Igloo Eskie!…Valerie
Valerie is so pleased that she wants to make another Eskier happy!! Bid NOW! A real steal at the opening bid price.

Hi guys! This is Queen Lacey! Look what I found at PetsMart? I got a really super deal on this, so I want to pass them on to you!!!

No meat by-products for us! Inside says "Life is just a bowl of- meat by-products, water, wheat flour, soy flour, calcium carbonate, animal fat, artificial color, and vitamin supplements! (So, what's new with you?)" Some puppy walked on the envelopes again and it was NOT me!
