Day 26
Today is looking back at 2019
I had spent a whole year heartbroken with the loss of Blackie, then out of the blue, I had a heart-spark, I must get another cat, and off I set!
2019
Enter Yassi, a tuxedo rescue cat who had just had all her kittens adopted out and now it was her turn. I was ready to take in the new Cat Lovers Hop and introduce Yassi to everyone, and no one was more pleased than Janis, she cheered me on and loved on Yassi. I was so happy again.
And as I started to begin her story on the hop, she hopped up on the mantel right next to Blackie's photo... weeeell I grabbed my phone and snapped it! It was as if she knew!
And as the projects were any kind of projects at the time, I had made Yassi her own little kitty quilt which she uses, even today. (Though funnily enough, she didn't like it at the time!)
Day 1
Day 2
She was the saddest cat I'd ever seen, she was shut down - as her kittens were gone and she was not sure what was happening next, but I was going to change that.
Day 3
More documentation of Yassi's first moments with us....
Day 4
This day I submitted two projects, one a scrapbooking layout and the other a paper 3D studio scene
Day 5
I'm an artist, so painting (especially watercolour and also mixed media) is where I'll be in my studio and Yassi beside me..... loved putting this together!
Day 6
And a card!
I also put together another little 3d scene
The Kitty SS Marine
It was always a fun Hop, so many variety of projects and a continued joy of kitty community and love of cats.
For Janis

Without cats it just doesn't work!!!! Even though we are always very sad about the loss of a cat, I always tell myself that it is the chance for another kitten to get a loving home.
For every sadness there is always a joy around the corner... You founded a cat, sad as you was. You gave her new life, and you received new life too. How awesome is this? :)
Loved reading about Yassy and seeing all your scrapbooking (and the card and 3D scenes!) Your paper 3D studio scene is really FABULOUS!!
What a beautiful and heartfelt walk down memory lane! You are so creative, Mandy, I am in awe of your pages and your 3D creations! We so miss our 3 kitties that have crossed the rainbow bridge over the last few years, but our new Sweet Pea is helping to heal our hearts. Your kitties are adorable!
