A good reason why I don't allow mine in my craft room.<br /><br />Anyway, as soon as I have your e-mail address, my friend Linda will send you an e-mail from me requesting your snail mail address. I was so glad to draw your name, because I remembered you said you wanted to add stitches to your art this year. You might remember the piece I am sending you. It's the mixed media and sewing piece I showed on my Grow post that I call "Her colorful ways." Hope you like it. Please let me know how to contact you and please do so on a current post, since I don't get e-mails letting me know I have new comments.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413414047102371546.post-64934736535155636942015-02-15T22:24:26.358-05:002015-02-15T22:24:26.358-05:00Our cats used to find the smallest, highest spaces...Our cats used to find the smallest, highest spaces to fit themselves.

This is something dear Yoda can not do, he can't jump up, it was his former life of abuse that now restricts him. Like the idea of 'make it' and the first of the month is good as I am in billing and pay's mode but it might work as I have the whole month. I will participate where I can. Goodluck and give Alistair a pat for me.<br /><br />Hugs Eliza & Yoda Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921884729737495356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413414047102371546.post-60939192515615295962015-02-12T08:15:44.271-05:002015-02-12T08:15:44.271-05:00Such a cute shot, and to me, every thing looks per...Such a cute shot, and to me, every thing looks perfectly normal here!

You're quite right gilding wax is the same as metallic rub - I hate using it because of the smell but I love the results it produces! I immediately spotted Allistair on the shelf - looking very aristocratic - perfect name for him by the way! Such a pretty kitty! I love your idea of a link party. I like linking up whenever I can - it's just that there's not always time to prepare something especially. I ran a link party up until recently, which started out as a weekly thing, then it became monthly because I found it too demanding to prepare a new project on a weekly basis. Now I've found the monthly commitment was too much too because of my other ongoing projects and classes. It's not easy to make something popular, unless you have a lot of followers. WOYWW could most certainly help spread the word. I will happily post it on my Facebook page and G+ profile and if other people did the same, it could go 'viral'.

My cat also loves to come into my room, although she stays low to the floor - that's where her toys are! Meaning of course, everything that accidentally falls to the floor! She is a real paper cat and walks around with bits of paper in her mouth all the time! Your idea is awesome, and is something I started to do a few months ago, but then only did once! Having a commitment to do it would be good!
