The Cat's Diary Day 983 of My Captivity     My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.  They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.     The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments  about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards!     There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event.  However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.     Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate  one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.     I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released,  and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.  The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move.  My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell,  so he is safe. For now ...

Christmas card

This is a Christmas card I made today, I am planning on making more. I used the

The ribbon is also Close to My Heart. I used glass glitter that I got off of Ebay. Makes it look really sparkly. Really easy card to make.

30 Days of Handmade Gift Giving Blog Hop!

Hi everyone I hope you are enjoying all the great gift ideas, I know I am because this year in our family it will be a handmade gift type of year. 
Of course there are also great handmade gifts to give to family, friends, coworkers, friends from church, teachers, babysitters, so many wonderful gifts to give that always makes someone smile. 

If you are from Playing with Paper, then you are in the right spot. If you just started you can go to the beginning at The Scrapoholic. There are so many awesome ideas, plus her blog is pretty cool, well all the blogs are pretty cool.

Well my gift is fairly simply, I love Hot Chocolate and love to give some away as gifts. So I made a cute label to put on a Christmas mug to give as a gift to someone, not telling who, could be someone who is going to read this blog so I cant tell. 

I used my Cricut to cut the label, I used the exclusive Close To My Heart Cricut® Art Philosophy cartridge, 

You can use any thing you want to create the label or just use a card, which ever works best for you. All the papers and stamps came from the Wonderland kit.

WORKSHOPS ON THE GO™ WONDERLAND KIT

I popped dot the mug. added a little bling.

 

I added the hot chocolate in a little bag, tied it with waxy flax, from CTMH, added some Cinnamon, because I love the smell of Cinnamon.   I also added a ribbon to the handle. The Mug probably from the dollar store or Walmart. 

 Thanks for looking, I hope everyone is enjoying the gift giving blog hop. Be sure to check back tomorrow to see Day 23. If you would like to leave a comment I would love it.

Cuttlebug Quilling set

Last weekend my friend Jann and I went to the Rubber Stamp and Scrapbooking Expo, had a lot of fun. worn out from walking to much. Probably just way out of shape, I need to walk more so I am ready for the CK Convention, which is much bigger. 

Well I had fun and I bought a few things, I bought this Cuttlebug Quilling set. I only made one flower so far, Took me a little to figure it out, but I think it looks right. I guess I need to make a few more. I hope to get the other flower as well.
