DAY 5 2020 Cat Lovers Hop

 Oh no!  Its the very last day to enter projects for the Cat Lovers Hop!

And I'm so sad about it because:

Its got me out of hibernation and scrapping again!  

I've bought some new stamps after seeing so gorgeous ones out and about in blogland

AND I've caught up with fellow bloggers that I now call my Cat Lovers Hop family even though just once a year.   Afterall... its been every year for six years!!!

So Day 5 is done...

And the game is:

What is the Most Expensive or Most Precious Thing Your Cat has Destroyed?

Sigh, Yassi did when we first got her... she clawed right on top of the arm of our brand new leather couch.  I think we gave her such a fright with both of us raised spontaneously out of our chairs screaming 'noooooooooooo' .......... that's all it took...........that did the trick!  Needless to say she never did it again.

                                        It almost looks like she tried to write something!!! 

But still,.. I was so disappointed, but she wasn't to know and her claws were so hideously long, so much so that I had the vet clip them as they caught in everything she laid her paws on and she would forever be trying to pull out of it.  The vet showed me how to clip her claws and she's been a happy camper ever since .

My project today is for my Project Life Album

It is a page where in March, suddenly we got the news we were in lockdown and my business had to cease trading, and just try to decipher what was happening.  On the good side, it was a time to hit the reset button, get some quality home time even though my hubby still had to work being an essential worker, and I got to love my cat and my crafts more....

 What a very strange year it has been.

I also just want to say a huge thank you to Janis from 'Her Peaceful Garden' for sticking with us, providing us with this amazing community of cat lovers, and for being the force behind Cat Lovers Hop - its massive!

I also want to say thank you to the community of cat lovers who took the time to leave meaningful and uplifting comments -   heartfelt appreciation for you too!  

----------------------------

And a card for you all celebrating this weekend!

So for now, I  can say... ... we have a lot on with my mum's birthday - is Halloween! so I'll do my best to get back here.....( I'll try!)

DAY 4 2020: Cat Lovers Hop

 

                                         Lol, this is my husband and I!  

DAY 4! on the Cat Lovers Hop

(oh no.... only one more day left ....sniff ) 

The game today is..... 

Are Your Cats Friendly with Visitors....or do they sense STRANGER DANGER???!!!  

Yassi is so much better at greeting people, she is discerning though, I think they have to 'smell' right!  She will approach, but wont be stroked she will back away.  It would have to be a REEEEEALLY special person for her to let pat or feel so comfortable to climb up in a lap. Blackie on the other hand, he would have ran the minute the knock on the door - everyone was a danger in his mind.  He wouldn't come out until the visitor/s had completely gone. So with that extreme to Yassi, she does fine in comparison :)

--------------------------------------

Day 4 Project....of the Cat Lovers Hop! 

I got Yassi as an adult, she was at a shelter where she turned up with five little kittens.

 I think she had a pretty hard time trying to fend for her kittens and herself.  Her kittens were adopted and Yassi was so sad left behind.  Anyway, I always wondered what happened to her kittens and hoped they found happy homes, and also what Yassi would have looked like as a kitten.  

I was lucky enough to win one of Ike's images and it was purfect for my little project!  I think this gives me a visual to my wondering (very happy smile) I do a lot of project life work, so this little card will be a lovely addition to it.    

A bit of watercolour.

DAY 3: 2020 Cat Lovers Hop

 

IT's Day 3!! 

of the Cat Lovers Hop! 

So today's game is a POEM!

My poem, I thought this time I'd write about my dear old Blackie (18yrs) who is now not with us.... being an ex-feral, he hated going outside, but every now and then he got curious but something would always happen just as he got brave enough to dash his hopes.

'Oh black cat creeps out the door,
Check the path back is clear what’s more
Tiptoeing light on black padded paw
Bang, a noise! He’s shot back through the door!'

My Blackie - look how worried he was..... such a scaredy cat.

My Kitty project today is Little Paper Bags

made just from a single piece of paper - I've used  approximately 10"x7" 

And took no time at all!  They can be stamped or stickered for example, used for parties, 

or like me...  more practical :) 

 

                                                                 Here's the link to PLAY :) 

Love this place!

DAY 2 GAME - What weird thing(s) does your cat eat???

Weeeeell, I'm sure cats are not weird to eat lizard (oh and she didnt! kinda), but more like what she does...

Yassi is intent on catching little lizards (skinks)  and she will run inside bellowing with the thing inside her mouth!  She doesnt kill the lizard, but it'll drops its tail... and she'll eat that!

The rest of the lizard - she gives to me (gift) and each time the lizards are okay other than dropped tails, so I'll scoop it up and while she is not watching - I'll put them back outside again! 

I've found a recovered one LOL!  (until next time!)

So its weird enough! 

-----------------------------------

The kitty project comes from my Flow Book for Paper Lovers, and it was nice and quick on this busy day!  

Arent they just sweet - I've made a scene :) 

Paper cut outs... cylinder-like.

                                                                          A bit of fun!

Hope you join in HERE

DAY 1: 2020 Cat Lovers Hop!

 

Hahaha! 

and...

Have you heard the news.....

DAY 1: 2020 CAT LOVERS HOP

 has started!

There is a daily game, and as usual for the last five years of hops, it starts with 'Roll Call', the kitties owned and/or passed away.  

Weeeell, this is my  Yassi, my little tuxie you all learned about last year. 

 

 She has been the best companion especially when it came to Covid lockdown!  Who knew when I got her last June after being without a cat for over 12 months  (it took me that long to get over Blackie's passing),

              (Blackie)

 that Yassi would be instrumental in keeping me company and sane through what has been a trying year and what has transpired with the world.  The power of paws!

    A day in the life....

There are prizes, even for the daily game :) 

So today, the featured digital image is from  Ike's Art digital set 'It wasnt me'

Oh my gosh!  I totally love this! It reminds me of how Blackie used to hide under our Christmas tree! (so, fingers crossed!)
