You can never have too many cats....freebie

I know you can have too many cats...I had five once and they were at war at all times....that was too many for me.  I have three currently...they get along enough...lol.

I would love to have another baby....but Froy will kill me (Froy is my baby cat...8 years old)

This would make a fun tag for a cat lady friend or yourself of course.

Copy and save...but please share this with others....tell them about my freebies every Friday!

I wanted to share something I made years ago....It was supposed to be a bird feeder full of seeds...

It is a scrap of a wood 4 x 4 post...hooked onto a round cake tin.

Then I painted it and added butterflies too.

I just could never bring myslef to put it outside because I knew it would get yucky!

So I added some buttons to it and it looks great in my studio!  I have this orange wood spoon to scoop with.

Cute huh!

I love raffia too...makes fun bows.

I love to make a new ornament every year....I made this sweet camper because my daughter revamped our camper this year.

The patterns come from the new magazine: Holiday Crafts by Better homes and garden.
