Have you met Nipsy???

 I cannot believe that I have not already told you about Nipsy!  She came to live with us this past year.  She had been our neighbor's grandkid's cat, but when they moved out, they did not take her with them, as they had to move to an apartment that doesn't take pets.  She had already been visiting us frequently, and would come inside and hang out with us.  She liked our male cat Leo, and would hang with him too.   She is so shiny and pretty, and has some Siamese in her.  You can tell it from her eyes (And her personality!).   Or should I say Purrsonality?  lol...  She has attitude for days, and she says " I do what I want to do!"  But she is very sweet and loving also, and a real joy to have in our lives!

Poems I wrote for my kitties...

 The Life Of A Cat

Squeaky meows,
Addicted to can food,
Begging for treats,
Lap up water,
Jump in the litter box,
Digging to China,
Warm lap to lay on,
Head boops and kitty kisses,
Kitty goes out, kitty comes in
Kitty goes out, kitty comes in,
Time for dinn dinn,
Wrestle together and play with toy Mousie,
Night time crazies,
Warm, cozy cuddles,
Sleepy kitty dreams,
My gifts from God.

Here is another poem:

Why is the hooman so slow with my food,

Reduced to eating dry,

Stare until they move,

Pop of the can,

Here I come.

Recycled Cd Cases

 Hello.  Hope your day is going well!

I don't know about you, but it always seems like we have things we need to find a use for.  One of the things recently was cd cases.  They had been left over after transferring cds from regular cases to the slim cases.  I had a bunch to use.  Fortunately, a poster on YouTube had just the project for them!  So I cannot take credit for this idea.  How To Recycle CD cases

Well, after the use of glue sticks, the cases and the inserts, here is what I made.  Each one uses seventeen cases, and I made four sets, so I was able to keep 68 cases out of a landfill, and it gave me awesome storage for my markers and ink pads.  I used the inserts on the backs to help make it a little sturdier and prevent the markers and such from falling out of the back.  Each one used six insert trays, so I was able to use 24 insert trays.  I hope you like them, and that it gives you ideas on ways to reuse things you have.  Simon Says Stamp had the perfect challenge; Recycle.

Our sweet Smokey...

We lost our sweet Smokey yesterday on 03/31/19.  He was such a blessing to us!  He had such a sweet and friendly personality!  Will love him always, and I know one day we will see him again!
