When Kellyn, my sister, arrived in Houston in early June, we had only been a dog family for 2 days and were definitely still trying to figure things out. No matter how long it took us to get a schedule, we knew that Tomlin was going to grow and fast. We wanted to always remember how little she was when we first got her though. (And I guess if I’m going to be cheesy, I’ll be really cheesy) So we decided to commemorate the transition into the pet family world with our new pup. Kellyn and I made a stepping stone with Tomlin’s paw prints.
Mixing the cement and laying it flat into a mold
Using rocks, Kellyn wrote out Tomlin’s name.
We waited until Tomlin was a little sleepy so that we could stick her paws into the cement and she wouldn’t notice. She noticed though!
We then used a stamp to make a dog bone border.
Now that it is dry, here is the finish product. 
We sure do love those growing paws, and I love craft projects with my sister! Miss you Kel, we’re ready for you to come back already!

Precious! If you REALLY want to be "cheesy" trace her paw and sign her name in the middle of it when sending cards. Of course, Marleigh sends out her own cards with her "special" signature and the year on them. =)
Cute cute cute idea!
You KNOW I love this =)!!!!
Oh--- and my doggie babies also "sign" cards for certain members of the family ;)...the ones that consider them just as much family as any human is :)!
i love this! glad i'm not the only one who spoils my pup :)
this is adorable. :-) what do you plan to do with it- place it in a garden or keep it in the house?
Omg this is awesome:-)
Super cute craft project - love it!!
This is too cute and definitely being added to my 'to do crafts' list! Where did you get the mold?
