Tired on Tuesday

Whew!

Yesterday was a wild day at work

and a full afternoon of running errands

and working on these in the evening...

I have really, really enjoyed making these--

they went super smoothly

and I think they look sweet packaged up

with a pretty bow!

Ribbon and crystal glitzy embellishments-

what girl wouldn't want some?!

It's a win-win situation-

if they don't sell at Holly Days and the church craft show

then I am just that far ahead of schedule

for the little gifts I need

for people on my Christmas list!

Here's my so-called helpers...

Men!

They weren't too interested in all the girly things-

Bad Cat (right)

informed me I should be working on

catnip fish instead.

Yeah, I know-it's on the to-do list, too!

What I didn't get a picture of

is Ms. Dolly who really did help me!

(well, kept me company at least!)

She has her own room in our house

and she's been acting lonesome

but still won't get brave enough

to come out with the boys.

(She hasn't figured out she's in charge

just by being a GIRL

or that she has CLAWS!)

Anyway-

yet another screen door was salvaged

and placed on my craft room.

Last night for the first time

I took her in there with me.

After a little stress

(cats don't take well to new things-

at least not quickly...)

she jumped up onto the chair

I rolled next to me

and sat quietly

content to sniff the ribbon

but not bat at it

and to be petted from time to time!

She was the perfect little lady

and I am sure we'll be spending more time together in there in the future!

She was soooo skittish and angry

when we first got her

I worried if  I'd ever be able to touch her.

Fast forward at least a year

almost two--

and she's turned intoa real sweetheart-

loves, absolutely loves to be cuddled and brushed!

That's my girl!

She overcame the obstacles

learned to trust

and is living (I hope!)

happily ever after.

Ok.

So it's off to my day job!

Tonight's Groupie night-

tomorrow's I'll post the pages.

Until then,

happy stamping and scrapping!
Blessings,
