Welcome

You are invited to share with me the Joy there is in creating Art. I mean the "I can do it" and "it's fun" and "it's beautiful" kind of art, whether it is "museum quality" or not. Here you will find some of what I like to do and, I hope, share some of your joy, too.

Welcome to my blog, Rae Ann.

Just For Me - A Kitty Squash Book

Hi!  Back in November I lost my cat, Mikey, whom I had for 15 years.  My doctor told me his son had 2 rescued cats available for adoption.  This was perfect; I didn't want to start all over with a kitten.  I agreed to take a male.  His name was butterscotch.  I quickly learned that he is "a talker" so I re-named him with something to reflect that.  I call him DJ ( like the old talkative dj's of the 50's and 60's).  We get along wonderfully and he likes to rub and cuddle.  He sleeps when I'm working because he knows he won't get attention then.  Here's my kitty brag book.







I can't get pictures of him in motion; he's too quick.  It took a long time to get pictures of him sleeping because he would jump up as soon as I moved to get the camera.  I waited a long time to get the one of him in his most relaxed position, belly-up and sprawled out.  Decorative accents come from the Cricut Lite Meow cartridge.  The cover of the squash book is 4x4, the inside sections are 3x3.

Happy creating.

I'm glad I made this little squash book for me.

    Just got home from school and have to head back for OPen House tonight. You left a comment about winning. Help me out please...where? I wish I had more time to hop everywhere, but this week is SUPER busy. I have a technology meeting tomorrow night, then a late parent conference on Thursday, etc. I am sure you really don't want to know! : )

    Cute kitty book. Glad you found a new friend!

    Thanks!

    Rae Ann, thanks so much for stopping by to see my tutorial -- I appreciate your time and kind comment :) I hope you'll get a chance to try making some Wiggle Wires -- I'd love to see you enter the challenge!! :)

    This Kitty book is PRECIOUS!! I have plenty of blurry pics of my kitties -- I too have not mastered catching them in motion!! :) My daughter and I used to have one of these little albums attached to a key ring -- seems like it might be time to try one again!! Thanks for the inspiration!! :)

    Hugs,
