Great Cambria Getaway!

Hi...Peachy and Mittens said it was OK for me to send you a note on their blog...only I was supposed to do it a week ago! I've been busy since I got back from Cambria, but wanted to let you know that we had a great time celebrating our 40th anniversary. We really did not do much, had a few very nice meals, drove up the coast toward San Simeon and took a nice walk to view the Sea Lions. Mostly spent time relaxing. We loved the motel, the White Water Inn. We had a mini-suite overlooking the ocean with a private patio and hot tub. They brought a lovely breakfast to our room each morning and even washed the windows on our car 'for our viewing enjoyment'!

We stopped by my friend Karen's little stamp store, Paws on Main. I do mean little. Karen has been there for 15 years! She is a cat lover so we always have lots to talk about. We also stopped by H.A.R.T., a wonderful animal rescue facility in the middle of Cambria. Diana Duncan who runs it does a fabulous job. The place is clean, and the cats are beautiful and healthy. There are no cages......they all roam the building. There are lots of hidey-holes and kitty trees. I returned to put the finishing touches on our SPCA Animal Faire which is this Sunday. Be sure to stop by the store to see all of the new goodies, and join us on the 6th for National Card Making Day...see you soon, Sharon

Next Week's Make and Take

Hi friends... Mom is getting ready for her trip to the coast and we are doing everything we can to help her. Peachy cleaned stuff off the counter and has almost single-pawdley cleaned off the back table. He can't figure out why Mom keeps picking things up and putting them back. I thought I'd give you a glimpse of next week's make and take project. Remember, you can come in any time Monday through Friday and make this cute reindeer card. Boy would I have fun trying to catch one of those birds sitting in his antlers! Auntie Melissa will be taking care of the store, and Mom will be back Wednesday, so stop by any time. I told Mom if she takes some nice photos on her weekend away, she could post them here......we'll see if she can figure it out!
Until next time...Hugs and Purrs from Peachy and Mittens!

PS..I shouldn't have made fun of Mom's computer abilities,,,as you can tell, I couldn't get the photo to post.....trust me, the card is cute!

Big Excitement!

Hey animal lovers...... Here's news for you!

It is amazing how little it takes to get Mom and Auntie Robin all excited.......the FedEx boyfriend was really popular today. Auntie R was actually getting in her car when she saw the truck and came flying back through the door. Two big boxes on a cart quickly followed and the fun began. Actually, we think Mom ordered these new things especially for us. There are the CUTEST kitty and doggy papers, embellishments, and 'scrapbook in a box' kits you have ever seen. These boxed kits have a 6x6 scrapbook, and lots of cute papers and embellishments all in a cool matching box! And all for only $19.99. There is also another colorful collection of papers with a coordinating scrapbook in a box. This time it is a 12x12 scrapbook with everything you need included. It is called Ally's Wonderland and would be perfect for a girl or for any festive occasion. Mom and Auntie R were in 'hog heaven'! Of course, Peachy and I prefer the kitty and puppy designs...you can see for yourself how cute they are. Here are some pictures of the papers so you can get a better idea of what the collections look like.

Kitty kisses from Peachy and Mittens!

LABOR Day!

Hi everyone...today is Labor Day and here we are hard at work! Well, actually, Peachy is still sleeping! Pretty soon he'll be begging for treats. What a hard life he has. Mom has already put out the new Christmas stamps from Hero Arts. With no deliveries today, she said she might actually get caught up. Did you check the class schedule? Mom wanted me to remind everyone that there at 2 classes next Saturday. Mom will have Stamp of the Month, and Auntie Melissa (I think I'll call her Auntie M from now on......typing long names makes my paws tired) will teach her bird class......yum yum, we just love birds! Next week, beginning the 10th, you can come to the store and make a Christmas card for free. Just come any day but Saturday and everything will be on a table in the back for you to make this card with the skating girl on it!

It'g going to be 100 degrees out today, but Mom says it's time to get in the Christmas Spirit. We LOVE air conditioning!!!!! When you wear a fur coat all year, hot weather stinks! Remember to give your pets plenty of fresh water and a shady place to keep cool. And PLEASE, never put them in the back of a hot pickup! In fact, it makes Mom nervous to drive behind a truck with dogs in the back, so just let them ride up front with you.

Well, I have work to do, and Peachy just woke up so check in again soon and we'll keep you up to date on the doings at The Cat's Meow......Hugs and Purrs from Peachy and Mittens!
