Cat TV

I like this page. I like the simplicity of it; not cluttered, tells the story. 

I am almost ready to put the year 2002 into an album and that is good because very soon I will have many, many photos of a special wedding to scrapbook. 

And after the wedding album is done it is on to hundreds of baby pictures. (Big smile!)

Catnap

I worked Tues at JSI and a load of stuff came in - boxes and boxes, including the new lines of Basic Grey. This cute little metal embellishment came out of the box and right on to my pile of the days purchases. It was perfect for this page I was working on. It is very dangerous working at this store, especially on a day when a big shipment arrives!! But hey! I am using the stuff!

That little 'tail' on the metal catnap is a piece of grunge board rubbed with staz on ink then cut out. Did that with the letters too but added a little more ink.

Our cat Mitzy sure loved her basket stuffed with pillows.

And today's Andy Rooney quote "It's best to give advice in only two circumstances; when it is requested and when it is a life-threatening situation."

yes, well, tell that to a mother.... of teenagers!

Waiting Game

Another page! You'd think I had the day off yesterday! Used up some stuff from home. Paper Loft and Heidi Swapp paper, Paper Loft letters and Thickers letters, and Heidi Swapp clocks.

Journalling reads....


It is just a waiting game.

I am not sure that the fish aren’t the smart ones here. Mitzy lies there on the shelf looking calm and cool as only a cat can do, except her tail is twitching frantically. Any moment, she will jump up and “attack” the aquarium. She is waiting for just the right moment when the biggest goldfish is in a position of no escape. Her shame is momentary though – darn that glass! And she goes back to waiting for her next opportunity. Mitzy spent hours in this spot. We call it her cat TV place.

You might think that Sam’s thoughts would be “stupid cat – they're behind glass you idiot!” But Sam waits too. He is oblivious to the fish or that they are behind glass. Perhaps THIS time Mitzy will play with him.. She hasn’t in the past seven years, but maybe she will notice him waiting patiently. She seems in a playful mood with that twitching tail. There might be some hope. No Sam, she really couldn’t care less right now, but we will play with you.

Only the fish are not waiting. They just keep doing what fish do – round and round the same old space heading to the top occasionally.
