First I want to thank you all for the overwhelming response of love and gratitude celebrating her life from a number of familiar names...and so many others I'm sorry to say I didn't know. I wish I could thank each one of you with the same amount of care and love that came through your messages.<br /><br />OK, back to business [insert cat meme here].<br /><br />Mom told us there were some elements of the Cat Lovers Hop which were still unfinished. Unfortunately, she didn't go into detail on what those were. I have already been in contact with one individual, but I don't know if there are any others.<br /><br />If you haven't received your prize, please e-mail me through Mom's <a href="mailto:jwoolbright@gmail.com" target="_blank">Mom's e-mail address</a> and I will do my best to make sure you get your prize. Here is the <a href="https://herpeacefulgarden.blogspot.com/2022/11/winners-post-2022-cat-lovers-hop-finally.html" target="_blank">Winners List</a> for reference.<br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for your help.<br /><br />James.<br /></p>Janishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13308728621651836815noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937780407413119045.post-71002948412332737562023-01-06T21:37:00.000-08:002023-01-06T21:37:09.750-08:00Janis has passed away.<p> Hello, friends.<br /><br />It is with great regret and sadness that I (Janis's son, James) announce that Janis passed away today after a long battle with various illness and infirmities, most recently from flu complications (as is our guess) from November. <br /><br />She commented often of the craft community's generosity and kindness and I would like to thank you for that, for befriending her, participating in her Cat Hops, and all the e-mails and correspondence. The last several years were a rough and rocky road and I am grateful for all your support in sharing that journey with her, easing her burden and lifting her spirits.<br /><br />While we will mourn the loss of a very dear friend, we may rejoice that she has completed her race, faithful unto death, and has received the crown of life from the hand of her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (Revelation 2:10).<br /><br />Thank you again,<br /><br /><br />James<br /></p>Janishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13308728621651836815noreply@blogger.com36tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937780407413119045.post-26516177623331719062022-11-30T16:03:00.004-08:002022-11-30T16:05:25.791-08:00November Rudolph Days - 12 Days of Christmas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH5ES6UpIcHevg6OU3e9w9vupXeBPcx6uiNf_goQa9Pez2SMeXNo1xrk-zL1wi1WQrLc9KkpPo7Ea-HS_sJEsoNQxXKdLwfMvJXSGfEVALfPsWfwl3-FSMlkNO1BVZK1yDqVHOyW9WVCVfy7aq0Ve1HH7Fy1HHO5d8SJ8UGLbK7dfiHtDysKuECqZ1/s266/12%20Days.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="190" data-original-width="266" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH5ES6UpIcHevg6OU3e9w9vupXeBPcx6uiNf_goQa9Pez2SMeXNo1xrk-zL1wi1WQrLc9KkpPo7Ea-HS_sJEsoNQxXKdLwfMvJXSGfEVALfPsWfwl3-FSMlkNO1BVZK1yDqVHOyW9WVCVfy7aq0Ve1HH7Fy1HHO5d8SJ8UGLbK7dfiHtDysKuECqZ1/w400-h286/12%20Days.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Hi, Friends......</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Lightning quick post to squeak in with my <a href="https://scrapsoflifebyscrappymo.blogspot.com/2022/11/november-rudolph-days-challenge.html">Rudolph Days</a> Card.

Thank you so much for your patience as our family dealt with the tragic loss of our son-in-law and then having our sweet 12 yr old granddaughter move in with us. It's been a huge transition, but the Lord is good and we are adjusting and getting settled as we continue to process our grief. You are all champs for bearing with me during this time!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So............let's look at a few vital statistics for this Hop. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Wasn't
this a fantastic hop???? I deeply appreciate every single one of our
lovely Hoppers and all the kind comments you have left for me during our loss and also about our
Hop. Our numbers were a little smaller than last year and I hope it is just that our Hoppers were very busy with families and real life. We had <b>79 participants </b><i>(down from 94 last year)</i><b> </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>that signed in from 14 countries </b><i>(down from 17 last year)</i>, including <b>25 first-time hoppers </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">(down from 37 last year)</span></i>. Still I am very happy with this wonderful participation....it is quality and not quantity that we excel in here! Everyone did such a great job leaving wonderful comments and
making projects. The caliber of your cards and projects was totally
amazing! </span><span style="font-size: large;"> <br /><br />Our lovely sponsors......<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Sadly, we had a number of our faithful sponsors unfortunately go out of business or choose retirement over the last year. Very sorry to see these wonderful companies go. Quite a few others had to decline my request for them to return as sponsors. There are a multitude of factors involved but I know the crazy pandemic has hit small businesses very, very hard. It makes me all the more grateful for those who continue to sponsor us each year!!! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This year we had <b>46 fabulous sponsors this year </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">(up from 44 last year)</span></i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span>with a total of 59 prizes </b><i>(down from 60 last year)</i><b>!!</b> I wish I had a prize for every single person, but I am thrilled to have 59 prizes for 79 Hoppers!! <u><b>THANK YOU, SPONSORS!!!</b></u> 💟💟💟<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So let's get right to the prizes and winners, shall we? </span></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE:</span></b></span><br /><b>1.

September. That's when I will be going totally nuts and have a better

Friends and Cat Lovers..........</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for being so
patient with me as our family has undergone a huge transition with
the tragic loss of our son-in-law. We had the funeral on Sunday
and I feel like I can finally breathe again. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Our lovely 12-yr old
granddaughter, having suddenly lost her dad, now lives with us and we
are all getting adjusted to radically different schedules, routines,
and spaces. It is wonderful to have her and it will all work
out, but it has been a challenge while we continue to process our
grief. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, this all
happened while I was trying to wrap up the Cat Lovers Hop. So
running the numbers for the winners got put on the back burner till I
could find my footing again. I feel bad for having neglected
all of you, but it was unavoidable.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Today I finally was able to
run all the numbers and I have the winners list all ready to put into
a blog post. I am working on that right now. Depending on
how many interruptions I get and if my internet holds on during this bit of winter weather we are having, I will have it up in a few hours.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I just wanted to update you
all and to thank you for all your thoughtful notes and your amazing
kindness and understanding. Talk to you soon!!</span></p>
<p>❤<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
Janis </span></p>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It
is Day 5......and have you looked at how many people have signed-in to
be a part of the Hop this year????? As I write this, <b><span>there are close to 80 total Hoppers </span></b>and lots and lots of first-timers!! I am thrilled. (And remember that Sign-In is still open during the extra days for commenting, Nov. 2, 2022, although the Link-Up for projects will close tomorrow.)<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We are on track to have a ton of
entries for our Hop!! THANK YOU for your fabulous participation and
excitement. You totally are the inspiration that is keeping me going
this week!! </span></p><div><p><span style="font-size: large;">Keep in mind that </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>tomorrow (Saturday, Oct. 29th) is the LAST DAY to link up projects, <span style="color: black;">but you will still have through 11:59 pm Pacific on Wednesday Nov. 2nd to finish leaving comments. </span></b></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am always so impressed when reading
the generous comments left on each other's projects. The friendly
nature of our hop really shines through!!! Thank you for that. You make
me so proud of our participants. 🖤</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: large;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /></span></p>

Those are "Kitty Heroes". Other times you hear about a cat who did something quite ill-advised. That is a "Kitty Zero"!! lol....</span> <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'll go first.......<span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">KITTY HERO</span><span style="color: #38761d;"> - <i>None of my cats has ever been a hero saving people. When I was growing up, though, I had a mother cat with a nest full of very tiny kittens out in our garage. One day a roving tomcat entered the garage....perhaps with the intention of destroying the babies...we don't really know. The mama cat took the attitude that she would </i>act first<i> and </i>ask questions later<i>. She ran screaming at the tom with teeth bared and claws ready. She jumped on him and rode him out of the garage snarling and hissing. She and the babies were uninjured and he never came back. Good mommy cat!! </i></span></b><br /><br /><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><i>KITTY ZERO - This is also a mother cat story. For reasons unknown, sometimes cats just decide to abandon their babies and their homes and go wandering off. That happened with our cat, Spunky. One night or early morning when her six babies were maybe 10-12 weeks old, she left.....and the babies followed her!!! They always slept outside in a "doghouse" on the back porch. One morning, I went out there and they were all gone....every single one of the kittens and Spunky, too. We were beyond distraught! <br /><br />If you knew how wild the pastures and woods are in our area, especially back when this happened, you would understand how hopelessly heartsick we were. If they had managed to elude owls, cougars, bobcats, feral cats, raccoons, coyotes, wolves, and neighbor dogs, it would be an absolute miracle. They could have gone off in any direction and it would be nearly impossible to find them, if they were even still alive. </i></b></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><span> </span></span></i></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>We looked all over the property without success. That afternoon we started walking down our lane calling "Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!" over and over. We really had no idea which way we should go, but we turned on the main road in the same direction a different missing cat of ours had been found one time. After walking and calling for about a 1/2 mile, we heard some frantic mews! One by one, every single missing kitten popped out of the grass and brush in a hollow near the road. They recognized our voices and came out of hiding!! We were so thankful that God protected them! <br /><br />Sadly, we never did find the Mommy. The babies must have followed her that far and got too tired to keep walking and so she left them behind. That's why she earns the "Kitty Zero" title. Incidentally, one of those babies was our dear Jetta that we still have and is now 19 yrs old! ❤</span></span></i></b></span></div></blockquote>

There were well over 100 fabulous
feline entries when I last checked the Linky Tool. Way to go everyone!! <br /><br />And did you see all the amazing <b>Kitty Poetry</b> from the <b><a href="https://herpeacefulgarden.blogspot.com/2022/10/day-3-2022-cat-lovers-hop.html">Day 3 Daily Game</a></b>??? If you missed it, you really must go back and take a look. Everyone did such a great job. Many of them are really funny and a few bring a tear or two to the eyes. One thing I can say about our Hoppers: we REALLY know cats!! I love so much reading all your kitty tales. Thank you for participating in our Games!! <br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Also.....I happened to notice <b>a few extra prize opportunities</b> being offered by some of our lovely Cat Hoppers.<b> <a href="http://ktdesigns2013.blogspot.com/2022/10/2022-cat-lovers-hop-day-1-giveaway.html">Kitty</a> <i><span style="font-size: medium;">(Please see my sidebar for more info!)</span></i>, <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/133625822@N05/">Becca</a>, </b>and <b><a href="https://karen94803.blogspot.com/2022/10/laundry-day.html">Karen</a></b> each

doing this!!! ❤ </span><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><span>(I have not had a chance to visit all the projects yet, so if

sponsors you have missed. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I work hard to line up all these fabulous
sponsors and I want them to know we appreciate their generosity!! <i>It is lovely to say thank you to them here on my blog posts, but <u>they probably don't see it</u>.</i><b> Visiting and leaving comments on the sponsor FB/IG pages and Blog posts expressing thanks makes a difference!! </b></span> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>One more bit of Blogger mischief:</b></span><br />Have you noticed how Blogger keeps wanting to log us out and not let us log back in??? Grrrr.....!!! It's not happening to everyone, but a number of us <b><span style="font-size: medium;">(including me on my OWN blog!!)</span></b> have accidentally posted as "Anonymous" because we didn't realize we were not logged in!! In a few other places where I have tried to leave comments, it wouldn't let me log in with Blogger at all! I had to log in just with my name....which is okay, but annoying. <br /><i><b>If you notice a comment of yours posted as "Anonymous", please reply to your own comment telling me who you are. That way if your comment happens to be randomly drawn for one of our comment prizes, I will know who you are!! THANKS!! </b></i></span></blockquote><br /><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">NOTE</span></b><i><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">:</span> When posting your projects on your blog, <span style="color: #cc0000;">please remember to post the Cat Hop Badge </span>also
if you can. I know that isn't possible with platforms like
Flickr and IG, but Badge Kitty Othello and I would really appreciate it when you
can. Thanks!!</b></i></span></blockquote><p>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi, Friends.....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I
am so glad you are back today to join
us for <b>Day 2</b> of our <b><a href="https://herpeacefulgarden.blogspot.com/2022/09/2022-cat-lovers-hop-main-hop-page.html">2022 Cat Lovers Hop</a></b>. A big thanks to everyone who
already pounced on the Daily Game yesterday. I enjoyed reading about
new kitties and catching up on other cats who have made regular
appearances on here over the last several years. Sadly, there were a few of our dear pets that passed on this last year. Part of what
makes our community of Cat Lovers so special is that we not only share
each other's joys, but also feel each other's losses. 💔💔💔</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you haven't participated in the <a href="https://herpeacefulgarden.blogspot.com/2022/10/day-1-2022-cat-lovers-hop.html"><b>Kitty Roll Call from yesterday's Day 1 Daily Game</b></a>,
I hope you will go back and do so. You can enter any of the Daily
Games through Wed. Nov. 2, but don't wait! We hope to hear from the rest
of you soon. The games are fun and really help us get to know you and
your
kitties<i>. </i><b><i>We want to hear from everyone!! </i></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm also enjoying the projects that have
been linked up already. Fabulous!! I love seeing cat products out
there that I didn't even know existed. I make a note of the companies
for future sponsor possibilities!! 😉</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One more thing before we get going for today.....</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>If you notice <span style="color: #cc0000;">broken links</span> or <span style="color: #cc0000;">links going to the wrong pages <span style="color: black;">or someplace where I still have a <span style="color: #cc0000;">2021, instead of 2022</span></span></span>,
<u> PLEASE</u> send me a note!! I rely on my alert readers to let me know when
they run into something like that. There is already enough mass
confusion during our Hops without me starting some international
CAT-astrophy! I super-appreciate
everyone's help in this matter!!!</b></span><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br /><b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br />NOTE:</span> A BIG THANK YOU to alert Hopper LESLIE who called my attention to the broken links on the Day 1 Post for the Main Hop Post!!! Arrrrrrghhhh.....what a nightmare! Of course this happens on the MOST important post of the Hop!! <br /><br />Apparently the naughty kitties at Blogger auto-switched out my link when I had my back turned. Some sponsors and pre-scheduled posts had the "right" link....and some had the "wrong" link. So I had to make two posts with identical names......"MAIN HOP POST - 2022 Cat Lovers Hop" to be able to redirect Hoppers with the "wrong" link to the right post!! Confusing? Oh, yah! ARRRRGH!!! Does anyone want this job????? lol.... <br /><br />I will try to fix as many links as I can on my own posts, but be aware that BOTH links are floating around out there. I just hope people will be patient and follow the redirect if they have the wrong one. Thanks for understanding!! </i></span></b><br /></span></blockquote><p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: large;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <br /></span></p>

I didn't discover it until we were almost ready to bring it out and add the candles. Oh, no!!! <br /><br />I called my son in there and we debated what to do. Finally we scraped off the top part of the bare expanse and smoothed the icing from the edges over the top of it. It was an awfully thin coat of icing. Arrrgh.

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi, Friends.....<br />
<br />
Welcome, Everyone!!! I am so glad you're here to join in the <b>DAY 1</b> festivities of the <b><a href="https://herpeacefulgarden.blogspot.com/2022/09/2022-cat-lovers-hop-main-hop-page.html">2022 Cat Lovers Hop</a></b>!! Each day I will be posting fun things to see and do and win! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So
how are you all doing? You might remember that last year I got hit with Covid in September and missed that entire month for getting ready for Hop. Thankfully a number of Hoppers came to my rescue and helped in a million different ways to make sure the Hop happened. I remain so grateful for how they stepped up!! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Happily, I didn't get sick this autumn but our crazy family always adds a wild card to my plans. Our grandson just turned 2 yrs old and is a total joy and a total chaos and noise machine!! Hahaha!! Life with a toddler in the house is just way more than I remember it being when my kids were small. It is with good reason that God in His infinite wisdom gives kids to young people!! ❤<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately several Hoppers contacted me this summer and fall and stepped up again to help relieve the stress and work involved in getting this Hop off the ground. I will be introducing them each day but I want to say <b>THANK YOU to Chris, Angela, Suzanne, Michele, Kitty, Becca, Mandy, Karen, and Carole for volunteering and encouraging me so much!! </b><br /></span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">If you are new to our Hops, you might wonder what these Daily Posts are all about.</span></b><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here's what to expect on these Daily Cat Hop Posts:</b><br />1. Brief introduction to call attention to any <b>important items</b> that Hoppers should know about....corrections, special alerts, etc.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> So be sure to check each day's post!<br />2. <b>Featured Sponsors</b>
for that day with the awesome prizes they are offering. My thanks to
all these fabulous companies and individuals who provide photos and
graphics....as well as very generous prizes! <br />You also will find
Bonus Links to special Cat Hop blog events, sales, challenges, etc the
sponsors are hosting during the week. Sometimes I will feature a
special Guest Designer from sponsor Design Teams or my Helpful Hoppers
to showcase sponsor products. <br />3. <b>Daily Games:</b> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I encourage ALL Hoppers to join in t</span>hese
special games by answering each day's icebreaker question or activity.
There are no specific prizes for this feature since we lost our dear Ike, but I hope everyone will participate in these fun activities. </span><span style="font-size: large;">This is one of the ways we get to know each other!!!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>NOTE: I realize these Daily Posts are looooooong. I try to have them formatted in an easy to navigate "magazine article" style with dividers and text in different sizes and colors. Sorry if it is difficult.

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">DAY 1 GAME: Kitty Roll Call and In Memoriam :(</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As usual, our Day 1 Game is Kitty Roll
Call where we share with each other the names of each of the cats who
call your home (or your back porch) their own....even if it is just a
home away from home. During Kitty Roll Call, you can tell us a
little about your cats and you also may add to the roll call any that
you have lost since last Cat Lovers Hop. :( :( :( Some of you
might not have any kitties at home anymore, but please tell us about
cats you have had in the past.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">I will start.......</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Here are my kitties:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. Jetta</b> </span>-
Jetta is my
most senior cat, age 19. She is black with one adorable white whisker (which is currently shed out, but will grow back after a while). That whisker has only turned white as she became
advanced in age and her black coat became flecked with white. For years,
she used to travel the half-mile across coyote-filled pastures to our
old house, but finally retired here during the 2017 Cat Hop...much to
our relief! Jetta is in remarkably
good health for her age. She is mostly deaf and doesn't see as well as
she used to, but her daily thyroid meds, vitamins, and joint supplements
keep her looking and feeling amazing well for as old as she is. She is
a round little muffin of a cat and is most definitely Queen of the Roost inside the house! <br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">2. </span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">Marshmallow</span></b> <span style="font-size: small;">- Marshy is the self-proclaimed King of Beasts of the outside cats. Quite a lofty title for this big soft clump of something sweet. This formerly timid, very simple soul with a long coat and magnificent tail has turned more irascible with the other cats in his advancing age of 16 years. Marshy has had some interesting disputes with our resident tom, Oreo. But they seem to have come to some understanding and Marshmallow is the Reigning Monarch.....with his best buddy, Alexander, as his Court Jester. They are still so adorable together!!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">3. </span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">Mistopheles</span></b> - <span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span>Started
as a part-time tom who terrorized our kitties. Then we caught him and
neutered him which brought about the desired changes. (Amazing what a
difference not having "Naughty Boy Juice" circulating around in a cat's
bloodstream accomplishes!!) Now he is ours and only holds a somewhat
weak vendetta against a couple of the other cats. He's long-haired and
solid black. He is so very sweet with us and so drooly when you
pet him.....ick! :) We don't know how old he is, but he is probably in his early teens.<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">4. Othello</span></b> - <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">(Our 2022 Cat Lovers Hop Badge Kitty<span style="font-size: large;">)</span></span></b></span> Ginormous
part-Siamese solid black cat, age 12, that nearly suffocates you when he
drapes himself across your neck for a nap. He's our 24 lb. affectionate curmudgeon. He's our Oaf-Fellow! Amazingly tolerant of our 2 yr old grandson, he's probably our best cat. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. Whiskers</b></span>
- Whisk-Whisk
is a clownish Black and White Tuxedo kitty, the sister and littermate of
Ophelia.....will soon turn 12. She is a great huntress and has discovered a secret way of gaining
entrance into the chicken yard (even when it is closed up at night) that
none of us can figure out. Fortunately, the raccoons have not
discovered yet! She goes in at night to help herself to any mice that are about.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">6.</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">Ophelia</span></b>
- Our big boy
cat with the girl name....long story that I have detailed several times
in past Cat Hops. lol.... That whole thing is particularly embarrassing
since my hubby is a veterinarian!! Ha! Ophelia is a littermate with Whiskers. Nearly age 12, Ophelia is a big lazy
neutered male whom we affectionately call "Oaf-elia" or Oaf-Cat. In the
winter, he gets fat and becomes our "Loaf-elia" or Loaf-Cat. :) He and
the resident tom, Mr. Oreo, have shouting matches out in the yard. I
call them the "Oh-Boys!" And Oh, Boy...do they get snarling at each other
sometimes!! We really need to have Vet Hubby
neuter Mr. Oreo!! Fortunately, they seem to be getting along better
lately and I have hopes they will come to a peaceable understanding eventually.<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">7. </span></b><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Andromeda </b></span>-
Our sweet
little Night Sky Kitten, age 10, with her unimaginably soft, solid black
coat.
She is outside only, and dearly loves, loves, loves to be petted
whenever we step outside. Such a sweet baby who diligently searches for
any exposed skin on your neck or arm to lick when being
held......infantile nursing instinct even though she is all grown up!!
lol...<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">8. Alexander </span></b>-
Started as
a part-time tom but now is neutered and inseparable with his best
buddy, Marshmallow. Alexander is still a little nervous about eyes
looking at
him, but will come over to me to be petted most anytime I call to him.
Loves his tummy rubbed when I find him in a nest on the back porch. He's
still too nervous to enjoy being held, so mostly I just pet him and don't try. No need to get him spooked. We don't know how old he is, but I am guessing somewhere around 8-10 years. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> <b><span style="font-size: large;">9. Brian</span></b> - Beautiful classic brown tabby patterned male, age 8. Littermates with Caspian and Judith....very, very sweet. Long and lean with tall ears and slanted eyes. <br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">10. Caspian</span></b> - A gentleman
kitty with a gentle personality. He is littermates with Brian and
Judith.....so, also, age 8. <br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">11. Judith</span></b>
- Littermates with Brian and Caspian, so also age 8. She is our
very, very naughty wanderer. When the weather is decent, she shows up
every 2 or 3 weeks (or even months!) for a day or two or three...then
she is off again. A storm or cold weather will usually bring her home
again...for a time. Each summer she seems to stay home more often than
she has in the past, so I am hopeful that this wandering will gradually
occur less and less often. We have several new neighbors who are doing
construction in our neighborhood so I am hoping that gives us even more
of a buffer zone against predators. But there are still way too many
coyotes around here for adventuring to be a good lifestyle choice for a
kitty. :( When she is home, she is my snuggle buddy.....sleeping beside me on my pillow at night. ❤<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">12. Skippyjon</span></b> - Age 6. Siamese-X
and still a character! Poor Skippy had too many transgressions in the house and now is outside only. He's strong and athletic and loves to play rough and tumble with the other kitties. Not surprisingly, the others are not nearly as enthusiastic about the game as Skippy is! His domain on the property is the area around the clothesline and greenhouse. He loves to "help" hang out laundry! lol... <br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">13. </span></b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lyman</b></span></span> <span style="font-size: small;">- I am very happy to report that Lyman who until last year was only an on-again-off-again visitor now lives here. We were so hoping he would stick around after vet hubby neutered him a couple of years ago. It took him awhile, but he definitely has decided to live here now. He is a gorgeous orange tabby in the prime of his life.....maybe 4 or 5 years old. He is very, very sweet and just loves getting to come in and nap with my daughter and grandson! I hope his original owners are not too sad to not have him anymore. We love him. In our area, it is not all that unusual for people to discover their "missing" cat is living with a different family not too far away. lol.... </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">14. Mr. Oreo - </span></b><span><span>Mr.
Oreo is our current Resident Tom.....a relatively young (maybe 4 or 5 years) muscular black and white spotted
guy...prob technically a tuxedo, although there is an awful lot of
white. (I keep asking Vet Hubby to neuter him but there are always too
many other things on his list to get done!) He is the one-eyed kitty who
actually had been living at the old house we lived in 10 years ago, which
is a half-mile over coyote territory. Over a year ago, brand-new residents of that
house happened to mention they were missing a one-eyed barn cat (one
that had "come with the house") and we just so happened to have a
one-eyed visitor. They tried unsuccessfully to get him back home, but
their own pet cats kept running him off. He somehow ended up over here and has now definitely become ours. He's nervous of everyone except me, but is warming up to the others somewhat. He and Ophelia get into shouting matches, but for the most part he gets along with the other
cats pretty well....so we are very glad that he is now part of our
family and cat tribe. </span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">15. Lord Siegfried - (Visiting Tom) -</span></b><span>Siegfried has been showing up around here off and on for several years. He's an absolutely gorgeous long-haired tortiose-shell pattern. Wild as anything, he is one that I can almost guarantee we will never get to touch. There are some epic battles between Lord Siegfried, Mr. Oreo, and Sir Roderick! We have no idea how old he is, but he could be maybe 8 or 9 years old.<br /></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>16. Sir Roderick - (Visiting Tom)</b></span></span></span></span></span></span> <span style="font-size: small;">- <span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Roderick hangs around here a lot and looks for an opportunity when Mr. Oreo is not guarding the food to get a few bites. The two of them are arch-enemies, along with Lord Siegfried. Roderick is a beautiful strapping mackerel-striped brown tabby....maybe 3 or 4 years old. Gorgeous cat. I so wish he would tame up, but he very much keeps his distance. </span></span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span> </span></span></div><p><span style="font-size: large;">L</span><span style="font-size: large;">ast
Hop I had 14 kitties on my roster, including 1 visitor. With our two regular visitors this year, we are back at 16.....for now. </span><br />

<span>************************************************** </span></span></b></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are three ways to get a chance to
win a randomly-drawn prize from our awesome sponsors: linking up a
cat project, commenting on linked-up projects, and participating in the
Daily Games.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<b>1. LINKING UP A CAT PROJECT:</b> The Cat Lovers Hop is open world-wide....so please <a href="https://herpeacefulgarden.blogspot.com/2022/10/sign-in-here-for-2022-cat-lovers-hop.html">SIGN IN</a>, and then <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>link

little bit unwieldy for us to get around to every entry to leave
meaningful comments. Thank you for

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>And, yes....a PRIZE will be awarded to one randomly-drawn lucky hopper who comments on ALL the projects!! <span style="color: #cc0000;">I
will have a special link-up on the final Wrap-Up Day next Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022</span></b>....which is the last day to leave comments. If you
manage to comment on all the projects in the hop by 11:59 pm Pacific
that day, you can link your name up on that Wrap-Up Day to be in the
super-commenter drawing.<br />
<br />
<b>3. </b> <b>PARTICIPATING IN THE DAILY GAMES</b>: There will be
Daily Games (usually consisting of icebreaker questions about you and
your cats) at the bottom of each of my daily posts (Those posts will
have titles such as: Day 1....Day 2...etc) This feature was sponsored by <a href="http://suzy-ikesworld.blogspot.com/">Ike's Art</a> for many years. We will soldier on and continue the Games, but without a sponsor now that Ike is gone. 😿 However, <b>your comments on the Daily Posts will go into the drawings for comment prizes.</b><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">I hope everyone will continue to participate in the Daily Games. They are a lot of fun and really do help us get better acquainted with each other and with each other's kitties. This is one thing that makes our Cat Hops so extra special!! You can participate in any of the Daily Games anytime t</span><span style="font-size: large;">hroughout the duration of the Hop, including the extra days for commenting. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b> </b></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi, Friends and Cat Lovers.....<br /><br />Are you all excited for the <b>2022 Cat Lovers Hop</b>???? I sure am! This is our 8th year together....AMAZING!!! A few years ago, I introduced this <b>SIGN IN</b> to make my bookkeeping
easier when I am randomly drawing the names for prizes for the Cat
Lovers Hop. It helped me a lot and so I am continuing it this year. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I want half of the prizes to go to commenters and half
to project entry participants, <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>I am asking everyone who wants to participate and be eligible for prizes to please sign in below.</b></span>
That way when people comment on your projects who are just followers of
your blog and not really intending to be part of the hop they won't end
up with a wonderful cat stamp set that they might not even want!! <br /><br /><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Remember: YOU MUST SIGN IN BELOW TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR PRIZES!!!!! </b></span><br /><br />Also, some of our sponsors are only able to mail their prizes to USA addresses, so I need to know <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>what country you live in</b></span>. Besides, it's fun to see where everyone lives. :) Also, please leave me your <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>email address (in code is fine)</b></span>
so I can easily get a hold of you if you are a lucky winner. In the
past, I've had to track one or two people down each year and sometimes
they didn't even
know they were part of a Cat Lovers Hop!! I want these prizes going to
people who really are a part of our hop. <br /><br />One other thing, some
of our sponsors are offering digital images as prizes. I realize that
not everyone uses digis or has a working printer and so might not really
want one of them as a prize. This is your opportunity to let me know...<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>"no digis please!", if you do not want to be considered for those prizes.</b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><br />NEW THIS YEAR!!!..................<br /></b></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u></u></b></span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><u>NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPANTS:</u></b><span><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><br /></b><span style="color: black;">I am very aware that international shipping is horribly expensive. Sometimes, Hoppers from other parts of the world are lucky winners of Gift Codes from American companies....but they cannot use the prize because of the exorbitant shipping and customs fees. </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black;">Starting this year, I will try to make sure that if an international Hopper is drawn for a Gift Code, that it is either from a domestic (to them) company or that the company offers digital products. I will check to see if the Hopper says "Digis are okay" and then go ahead and award them the GC prize. <b><i>The winner still has the option of ordering a physical prize with the GC if they wish, but this way they will have a "no shipping charge" option available.</i></b> NOTE: The digital products offered by the company might not be cat designs, but I hope the winners will find something they love.<br /></span></span></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black;">So if you live in a country other than the USA, I encourage you to be sure to tell me if digis are okay. It will open up more prize options for you! And everyone loves prizes, right???? :) </span></span></span></b></p></blockquote><p></p><blockquote><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>NOTE: If you are an international hopper and WANT to be considered for Gift Codes from American companies, <u>even if they do not offer digital designs</u>, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IN YOUR COMMENT BELOW. Thank you! </b> </span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;">Included
in the sign-in are a couple of prize opportunities from our fabulous
sponsors that I think you are going to love. If this is your <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>first year ever participating in the Cat Lovers Hop</b></span>, please mention that in the comments, too. One of the prizes will go to a lucky randomly drawn first-time participant. <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b> </b></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Have you participated EACH year of the hop</b></span>
(2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and this year 2022)??? Another of the prizes will
go to a lucky participant that has been with us from the beginning and
not missed a year! <br /><b><span style="font-size: medium;">(You long-haulers deserve a medal for putting up with me this many years!!! ❤ )</span></b></span><br />
<br /> <span style="font-size: large;">Also</span><span style="font-size: large;">.....in the past I have
sometimes been confused by alternate usernames on different platforms
for posting, linking, commenting, etc. Many of us (including myself!)
use two or more different monikers and most of the time I know who you
are. There are a few of you, though, who confound me each year! <b><span style="font-size: small;">(Hahaha....not too difficult to do!!)</span></b> Could you <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>please list all your common usernames </b><span style="color: black;">in the comments</span></span>,
too, to assist me when I am cross-eyed from running Random.org and
making sure I have the right person from the right country getting the
right prize? THANKS!!</span></p><div style="text-align: center;">

I've been busy with Cat Hop things and also fighting a nasty cold....so I put off making this card. Arrrgh...that's why I am posting it in the middle of the night!! lol....</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Mrs. A gave us several color options (wheat, wisteria, watermelon, and wild blue yonder), a theme (wood), and a window card fancy fold option. Guess what???? I managed to find some fabulous Graphic 45 paper in my stash that had all 4 colors! I used a big wooden butterfly and made the window card design. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> I got the card nearly finished and realized the big butterfly was actually chipboard and not wood at all. Oh, NO!!! So I found some pretty flower/butterfly embellishments that Mrs. A had sent me once in a lovely prize. I am fairly sure they ARE wooden. I stained them to match the color of the chippie and added them, too. Whew!! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The Happy Birthday ribbon is some I made with my label maker. I received this label maker as part a big stash-pruning prize a long time ago. It came with a bunch of different tapes....and a number of them are printable ribbon. This is the first time I have been brave enough to try custom printing a ribbon embellishment. Fun!! </span><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCC72V2hRCh2OBLG9tA37IulKPCeC7CIa8JlapvJTAxVn4lBVayRAHP44rs69AHi6A_D441GOsabtP4rBDvx8lLCtistF00M_YT30F0c2kKWLMGlWy0SSFd9IjIV8CzVt_tbK-LGFQ4-P4eMj6jvEu1uvNjdECZADPU2VlOGvUgsS_9cAnaEVPDGHf/s2880/100_3796A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2880" data-original-width="2146" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCC72V2hRCh2OBLG9tA37IulKPCeC7CIa8JlapvJTAxVn4lBVayRAHP44rs69AHi6A_D441GOsabtP4rBDvx8lLCtistF00M_YT30F0c2kKWLMGlWy0SSFd9IjIV8CzVt_tbK-LGFQ4-P4eMj6jvEu1uvNjdECZADPU2VlOGvUgsS_9cAnaEVPDGHf/w476-h640/100_3796A.jpg" width="476" /></a></div><br /><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><u>Supplies used include:</u><br /></b><i>Graphic 45 Secret Garden collection<br />Southern Ridge Trading Co - big chipboard butterfly<br />Wycinanka - little wooden butterfly and flower embellishment<br />Distress Ink<br />Custom printed ribbon</i></span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Hope you like my card.

Have you checked out my sidebar to see our list of fabulous sponsors??!! I am so very grateful for their generosity and support of our Hop!!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So I am squeaking in on the last day with a quick snippets card for <a href="https://scrapsoflifebyscrappymo.blogspot.com/2022/08/august-rudolph-days-challenge.html">August Rudolph Days</a>. I took a break from Hop work and made a bunch of strips-o-scraps backgrounds with bits of old Christmas cards and holiday patterned paper. I really like this black/gray/red combo. I also used snippets for the NOEL die cuts. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Then.... I uncovered <i><b><span style="font-size: medium;">(to my horror)</span></b></i> an entire bag of dollar store foam stars!! Oh, dear. Just as I was finally using up the last of my weird 7-pointed foam snowflakes, I find stars!!! lol.... The bag has four colors.....gray, yellow, silver, and gold. I thought the gray ones would look okay on this background. To my delight, I find that I like the festive look!! </span><br /> <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxl3ZMqgxXoEiAAtDLONsM5pVfjEnDkZGldPFayQ98MFy76GFewGU2Q5Ygb9krCJRKFjqJ5uhzjO_g2aEtTSRI7Hsi17LYmLVol4FhgoDsqrDVkGUJd4Q54Jht_Kjtv52ZwsDMA2zSo4qlDCLAhI9o4iYZK76SZZegLKpW8FslUg5LfAxNBiVvbkS5/s2903/100_3776A.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxl3ZMqgxXoEiAAtDLONsM5pVfjEnDkZGldPFayQ98MFy76GFewGU2Q5Ygb9krCJRKFjqJ5uhzjO_g2aEtTSRI7Hsi17LYmLVol4FhgoDsqrDVkGUJd4Q54Jht_Kjtv52ZwsDMA2zSo4qlDCLAhI9o4iYZK76SZZegLKpW8FslUg5LfAxNBiVvbkS5/w640-h482/100_3776A.jpg" /></a></div><blockquote><b><u><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Supplies used include:</span></u><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></b><div><div><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Winnie & Walter - In a Word: Noel Cutaway die </span><span><br /></span><span>Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set </span><span><br /></span><span><span><span><span>My Favorite Things Die-namics - Stitched Oval STAX die set</span></span></span></span></span></i><br /><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span><span><span><span style="font-size: large;">QuicKutz - Retro Diamonds embossing folder<br /></span>Snippets of vellum and patterned and solid cardstock</span></span></span></span></span></i></div></div></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span><span><span>Well.....that finishes things up for August.

Here is my last Christmas in July card to share with you made from odds and ends from my holiday stash box. Did all these cards make a dent in my scraps???? Nope. Not even close! lol.... But I sure had fun making them and it did feel good to use some things that had been sitting around for a long time.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Recently I won a very, very generous prize from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PrettyLittleStudio">Pretty Little Studio</a>. Included in the package was a little assortment of vintage Christmas critters...mostly adorable bunnies! I love the PLS critters and wanted to make one of the busy collage cards that I see little vintage die cuts featured in. I'm not very good at making these cards.....mine usually end up looking like my stash box got spilled on the floor in a puddle of glue!!! Bwahahaha!! <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But I got brave and opened up my box and pulled out a PLS holiday JOY Bingo card and a bunch of other little odds and ends that might coordinate....a snowflake (which I backed in vellum), a little die-cut button, a red doily, and some adhesive pearls along with a background of very old patterned paper. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here's the card I came up with....what do you think? I really like it....esp for a first attempt with these supplies.</span> <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJIGn4LdUf-Va75hauOkqRce7S06G_X_CnILR72QbSXuhj8326MDK5Is69jX-2gh71CNY2yD_8DyFyCQsio5P2Ss8FrcmuAOO-5DZ50VPKYowEYRC3uVGtCVkc_nMukEvEa81OdLBuS_wlui9xstAM4FgwdeERPObR9nGO3uEoicZKFbkuKvpXoLMd/s3324/100_3756A.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3324" data-original-width="2623" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJIGn4LdUf-Va75hauOkqRce7S06G_X_CnILR72QbSXuhj8326MDK5Is69jX-2gh71CNY2yD_8DyFyCQsio5P2Ss8FrcmuAOO-5DZ50VPKYowEYRC3uVGtCVkc_nMukEvEa81OdLBuS_wlui9xstAM4FgwdeERPObR9nGO3uEoicZKFbkuKvpXoLMd/w506-h640/100_3756A.jpg" width="506" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><blockquote><u><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Supplies used include:</b></span></u><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Pretty Little Studio Vintage Holiday Die Cuts and Journaling Cards<br /><span><span><span><span><span><span>Memory Box - Lindeman Snowflake die<br /></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Poppystamps - Button Oval die set <br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><a href="http://www.joann.com/doodlebug-mini-paper-doilies/zprd_14671416a.html"><span>Doodlebug - Mini Doilies</span></a><span><br />Scraps of Patterned Paper and Vellum<br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><a href="http://www.joann.com/want2scrap-pearls-self-adhesive-72-pkg-red/zprd_12423539a.html">Want 2 Scrap - Adhesive Pearls</a></span></span></i></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.joann.com/want2scrap-pearls-self-adhesive-72-pkg-red/zprd_12423539a.html"></a></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span>This concludes my garden of Christmas in July cards. <span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>(Now what do I do with the half-finished cards that are stiiiiiiiiiiiiillll on my craft desk!??? lol...)</i></b> </span> Hope you enjoyed my card today!

I ran across this pretty JOY die cut that was an extra from a card-making session several years ago. This one never made it onto a card and it has been in my holiday stash box ever since. I teamed it up with one of the strips-o'-scraps backgrounds that I double embossed in gold earlier this month. The die cut kind of got lost in all of gold embossing and patterned paper busy-ness. So I embossed a scrap of solid cardstock to mat it....just what it needed.</span> <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEqgZ5Ts6IakJEB9DR7SYj0AwhbI9fYfEEUcIiZzD8Jv0yNVMyJGECsCfcl9SQ2Z_TNoM9Xc9x-d4cUi_O4M2t-Nl3YhlwgO23REJXkmCDskm1NihoiEscktCHY1wLF9IcLMkFI3pYVmroYpCyyQZDokr3bmtqLfa_Nu2_Beskb0n_4uLaVzbmdbn3/s2989/100_3747A.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2989" data-original-width="2431" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEqgZ5Ts6IakJEB9DR7SYj0AwhbI9fYfEEUcIiZzD8Jv0yNVMyJGECsCfcl9SQ2Z_TNoM9Xc9x-d4cUi_O4M2t-Nl3YhlwgO23REJXkmCDskm1NihoiEscktCHY1wLF9IcLMkFI3pYVmroYpCyyQZDokr3bmtqLfa_Nu2_Beskb0n_4uLaVzbmdbn3/w520-h640/100_3747A.jpg" width="520" /></a></div><br /><blockquote><u><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Supplies used include:</b></span></u><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span>Creative Expressions - Festive Collection Joy 2 pc die set <br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Darice - Checkered Embossing Folder</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2322090.m570.l1313&_nkw=darice+damask+embossing+folder&_sacat=0">Darice - Damask</a> Embossing Folder<br />Versamark embossing ink<br />Gold Embossing Powder from my stash<br />Lots of patterned paper scraps for my background</span></span></span></i></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hope you liked this card.
