Hug Your Cat Day Blog Hop

Pin It

Are you a crazy cat lady, but in a good way? I know I am. Today is Purina’s Hug you cat day. There are several hug your cat days and I would love to hug my cat(s) on each and everyone. Today we are celebrating cats! Diamonds, dogs’ pfft. Cats are a woman’s best friend.

I am a cat lover! I have had cats in my life forever. Some have been a part of my family for many years! (RIP Bob!!) Others have just happened to choose me as their lucky owner. That's how we got Harryette! She was abandoned as a kitten near my home and was apparently living in the bushes next to my house. I went out to get the mail one day and she followed me home. She was the scrawniest, ugliest kitten I have ever had but she quickly grew into our hearts and is now a loved member of our family. Couldn't imagine waking up in the morning without her snuggled next to me on my bed!

Today we are celebrating with all kinds of cat projects.
So sit back and lets hang out.

In honor of cats everywhere here is my kitty project:

 I had some scraps left over that were perfect for this altered notebook!

 

The Kitty Die Cut is from the Cricut Catridge Doodlecharms

Gotta have a pretty back too.

Give away alert…

Croppin in the hospital- why not?

Pin It

So my oldest baby landed in the hospital with pneumonia last week. It was pretty scarey and thank God he is fine now. While I was at the hospital I decided to do a little scrapping to lift my spirits. And here is just 2 of the layouts I managed to get done. I think I did a total of 10 layouts- plus finished some calendar pages for a swap- in the 48 hours I was there. What did my kid do you may be asking...well he had the video game cart all to himself and was pretty pleased with that!
