Almost Wordless Wednesday - 2 and a Half Cats

Meet the newest kitty at our house :) He's still pretty skiddish, but I can pet him if he's eating. He's slowly coming around. For now, we call him "half a cat". As in, we don't officially have three cats, but we do have two and a half...lol.

Wordless Wednesday - Can You Say Spoiled

Friday Features - Furbaby Christmas

After posting about my New Ornaments yesterday, I went searching on Etsy for other cute Christmas items for our furry friends. I think I spent hours oohing and aahing over the adorable items I found! Today I'm featuring 4 of my favorite finds, enjoy :)

Christmas is Just Around the Corner

I can't believe how close we're getting to Christmas! Halloween just got over and Thanksgiving will be here before we know it. Then Christmas is just around the corner! Time to start planning now!

I've been preparing for the holidays in my shop with new ornaments this year! Dog Bones for our sweet puppies and Cat Faces for our favorite felines!

And my photo ornaments are starting to take off again as well. These did really great last Christmas and I hope they do as well this year too. These are one of my most favorite items to make. I get to see all the cute little faces and watch them come to life in the laser!

 How are you preparing for the holidays?

Wordless Wednesday - Oh To Be A Cat

Meet the Kids

In my Me...By the Numbers post earlier this week, I mentioned that we have 5 kitties. Many people were surprised by this since I usually only post pictures of Harley. So I went on a mission this week to get photos of each of our furry kids :) These are all outdoor cats, but they're more spoiled than most house cats! Most of them live in the heated garage all winter and we let Momma Kitty ins the house a lot in the winter. Jesse even buys them wet food and Temptations treats often!

Momma Kitty (originally named Bonnie) is our oldest kitty. She was originally a wild barn kitty that we tamed down. We found her and her brother Clyde (Bonnie & Clyde) back in 2006 and she's been a part of the family ever since :)

We got Chevy from a clothing store...LOL. We were doing some shopping and there was a box of free farm kitties at the door. We couldn't resist taking Chevy and one of his brothers. He's one of the cuddliest kitties we've ever had :)

We adopted Tiger from some friends that were moving out of town. He is such a beautiful cat and has the most gorgeous green eyes! His coat is so soft and he gets along great with our other cats :)

Junior and Keystone are our two youngest kitties. We rescued them from the barn when we found that their mommy wasn't taking care of them (not Momma Kitty, another cat). We nursed them back to health and they've become Jesse's buddies hanging out in the garage with him a lot :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm proud to say that all of our kitties were adopted/saved/tamed and none of them came from a pet shop or mill. And all of them have been fixed. We've had several cats in the 8.5 years we've lived in the country, but these 5 are part of the family :)

Pet Portrait Giveaway!!!

I'm so excited to be hosting a giveaway over at Beaded Tails' Blog!!! I'm giving away one of my newest creations...a Custom Engraved Pet Portrait!

To enter, visit Beaded Tail and leave a comment. It's that easy!

Spoiled?

For an outdoor kitty, I'd say so :)

Friday Jesse worked on putting a new front door on our house. The cats kept sneaking in and after so many times of putting them back out, we just let them stay. At one point I went in the living room to find Chevy fully enjoying his time inside!

I sat down to get some work done on the computer and it didn't take him long to make his way in to visit me :) How could I resist!

The Eye of the Tiger

We recently adopted a cat from some friends of ours who were moving away. When we got him home, we noticed we have a tiger kitty theme going on. All 3 of our kitties are tiger-striped! And isn't it fitting that our new kitty's name is Tiger :)

I just love his green eyes!!!

Of course I have to show you Chevy...

And Momma Kitty too :)

Aren't they all just so cute :)

Friday Features-The Cat's Meow

Since I featured dogs last week, I wanted to make sure I didn't make my kitties mad...so this week it's their turn to shine :)

These Light Blue Kitty Cat Earrings by BeadedTail are just so cute :) What better way to show your love for your furbabies than with jewelry!!!

And if you're going to be wearing some jewels...why not let your kitty too :) These Hand Stamped Pet Tags by tinytokensdesigns would be purrfect!

I love that this Kitty Love Print by PurrPrints is custom so you can choose any colors you like!

Of course my favorite would have to be this Cat Brag Book by 2PawPrints :) I love to make scrapbooks for my furbabies!!!

Blue and Chevy say: Have a Purrrrfect Day :)

NEW Simply Stunning Series

Ever since I got my new toy...my Bind-It-All...I've had ideas rushing through my head as to what I can do with it! I have so many fun things I want to try :)

The first type of album I decided to make is something more for the non-scrapbooker. Someone who wanted a stylish way to display their photos, but not necessarily in a scrapbook. And I made it super easy too...photo corners included...and they are all fit for 4"x6" photos. No trimming, no gluing...just a cool way to show off your photos!!!

Here are the first 4 albums in the series:

I have so many others I want to make in this series! I may go on to some of my other ideas and come back to this series so I can get them out of my head and into the works :)

And I just have to show you these cute little Vacation Albums I made recently too :)

The covers started out as passport covers and I turned them into one-of-a-kind scrapbooks :) The red one is more travel/vacation themed and the blue one is beach/vacation themed! It feels so good getting new items in my shop! I love to do custom work, but I also like new projects :) A good mix is always nice!

Wanna win a Pink Vacation Album like the blue one above? See this post to find out how!
