Great Idea!

Hey, Mom just had this great idea......She is calling it a VIRTUAL SWAP. A while back we had card swaps here at The Cat's Meow. Everyone made six cards from a theme that was on the website and mailed them to the store. Then, Auntie M swapped them out and sent them back to the people who participated. Well......somehow it went by the wayside. Mom thinks it was because nobody wanted to make multiples of cards. Now that we are in the tech age, she wants to do a virtual swap. Every month she will post a card theme in the newsletter. You make a card and scan or photograph it and upload it to a special place on the web. You will be able to see all of the cards everyone makes there. It will be like a gallery. Check the November newsletter for the full instructions. Sounds fun, huh?

Apologizing Again!

Here we are again apologizing for not posting more frequently......actually we are sure there is something radically wrong with this blog thing......couldn't have been June since our last post. Well, there has been a lot going on....Let's see.....a friend of ours got to be honorary mayor of Oakhurst representing the SPCA again. He raised over $40,000 to go to the shelter fund. Then our human Dad was in the hospital, so Mom was running back and forth to Fresno....he's OK now. Then Mom was really busy with Animal Faire which was about a week ago.....we heard it RAINED on them so it is a good thing we are indoor kitties. Not that we would want to be there with all those dogs! Now, Mom is working on the 2010 Great Yosemite Stamp Escape. Time sure does fly around here.......Check out our buddies and you will see what life is like for us.

Mom said we got lots of new ribbons. I think she said 23 new ones just this week. She has to keep them away from Peachy because he likes to eat them. Sometimes I wonder about the guy:) We also got in a bunch of new stamps with winter scenes, and some cool stamps from Hero Arts that have this stuff on the back called Cling Mount. Aunty M just loves them because she professes to be a 'diehard red rubber girl'! Whatever that is all about. Oh Boy.....the UPS guy just dropped off three BIG boxes......fun is afoot!


I'll leave you with this photo of one of Peachy's ribbon lovin' friends.....Happy Fall!

Mittens.....and Peachy, too!
