Having a little bit of a look back at some projects for Janis' Cat Lovers Hop.....
2018
But before we begin, I was struggling very badly at the time... Blackie had passed away a couple of months before at 18yrs of age. I was absolutely heartbroken, yet I still played along with the Hop and Janis showed me so much kindness and offered her words of wisdom and it worked - it was very cathartic as I spoke and created about my love of Blackie. The year followed, I could not contemplate another cat.
Towards the end, Blackie only wanted to lie under his blanket where he was safe and warm. He certainly was a character, and I tried to remember those times

Day 1
Yes a card! An origami black cat for Halloween
Day 2
An opening page to begin my 2018 Project Life 12x12 Album. I was so far behind, and this hop made me get started and catch up.
I love retro - anything mid-century modern!
Day 3
Day 4
Day 5
Another Card!
Day 6
Oooh, and another card!
It was to be Blackie's last hop even though in memory

What a beautiful post and some beautiful makes too. They really do leave their paw prints on our hearts, don't they. Jo x
You have created so many fond memories of Blackie and so he is always with you and you have the opportunity to remember him at any time with great pictures and stories.
I think that your artist's soul is a great help to cope sadness and pain. You have had Janis' wisdom but then you created and this is your own therapy in memory of Blackie.
I'm very impressed by your last photo, it's a your painting! It's awesome!
