Favorite Time of the Year

It is Panda's most favorite time of the year....  The time after turkey eating day and before the festive season of Bobunk.  She loves the lights, the boxes for her to play in, the ribbon to chase, and most of all - the chewing tree (aka in some circles as the Christmas tree).  We have tried everything to get this crazy cat from chewing and trying to climb up our artifically induced tree.  She just loves it.  I tried to get a pic of her napping under the tree, but she runs when I go to get the camera.  Squirrel has made a few appearances under the tree and Panda loves to hide her mice under the tree skirt.  She just loves Christmas and so do I. 

Tassel Doll Swap

Here are my creations for Martica's Tassel Doll Swap at http://www.scrapbook.com/.  I will post the beautiful dolls that I got as soon as I can find my camera.  Why is it that no matter how organized that I try to be, I still can't find stuff when I need it?  I can't blame the gremlins because I am pretty sure that Panda ate them.  I think that I spotted gremlin parts with her toys that she "hides" in her dry catfood. 

Hopefully, I will locate my missing camera soon.  I need to take some pics of the charms that I made for the charm swap. 

Halloween in Wonderland Mini Album Swap

Here are a few of the pages that I made for the 4x4 mini page swap at http://www.scrapbook.com/. 

Back of page with pocket and tag.

I am sneaking in a pic of my baby girl.  She has claimed all the pillows in our house as property of Panda.  Doesn't she look comfy?

Mask Swap and Baby Kitty Update

I recently participated in a fun mask swap at http://www.scrapbook.com/.  My swap partner choose black and red for her mask colors.  Here are a few pictures of my creations.  I ended up sending my swap partner 2 masks because I made so many.  :-) 

I glimmered misted the mask and stick with black magic.  We all know that glimmer mist has the capacity for both good and evil.  Good for the beautiful shine and ease of use.  Evil because I want every color and can't have them.  :-)

I dipped the flowers in my excess glimmer spray and came up with this lovely effect. 

My mean "baby" kitty, Panda loves to sit on the ledge but she doesn't fit all the way.  :-)  She is being extra sweet today and only hisses and me every other time I walk by her.  

You can cry over spilled Glimmer Mist......

There is no use crying over spilled milk, but spilled Glimmer Mist is another matter entirely.  I had a small Glimmer Mist inicident today while working on a swap project and my world went into slow motion as I watched my beloved pink gimmer mist that I was painting with spill,  Luckily, the bottle was almost empty, not all of it spilled, and it was just on the kitchen counter.  I contained the spill with white cardstock and paper towels, which are now a lovely glimmer pink.  Sigh, I love glimmer mist and desire more colors and now I love glimmer glam and glaze.

Yay! I was heartbroken because I thought I had broke my favorite punch with my superhuman strength but my hubs fixed it before he left for work. Now I am waiting for the glue to dry on my swap project and trying to figure out this whole blog thing.
