Finally Friday!

It's finally Friday and Mommy is feeling better so that means time for craftiness!  A month ago we asked Edi from Memories for Life Scrapbooks to make a pendant of our sisfur Sadie so I thought it was high time Mommy made a necklace featuring the pendant.  I got all her the beads together for her get started...

Then I helped her lay out a design idea...

Then it was break time. This is me putting my paw up to get on her shoulder for some scritches.  Of course she complied...

Once I got my fill of scritches I let her finish...

And this is our completed necklace...

We used Tigers eye beads and Golden Shadow Swarovski crystals since they are Sadie's colors.  Mommy made it a little longer too since that's what she prefers...

I think it turned out very purrty!  Our sisfur Sadie would be very pleased.  Edi has the pendants on chains in her shop here.  But she and Mommy are offering a deal to our readers only.  If you would like a beaded necklace made by us to go with the wooden pendant made by Edi, we'll make it for you for $30 - that includes the pendant by Edi and the blinged out necklace by us!  How's that for a deal?  If you're interested or would like more information please contact us and we'll let you know how to get a cool custom pendant necklace for yourself!

UPDATE:  We got the necklace listed in our shop here!  

Phew!  I sure worked hard today.  Time for some treats Mommy!

Hope you have a picture purrfect Friday!

Thankful Thursday

Our friend Edi from Memories for Life Scrapbooks made new ornaments for dogs and cats in her shop this year.  Well, it so happened that the name on the sample cat ornament she made is my name!   Since it had my name on it already, Edi was very kind and sent it to me!  

I love it!  It's absolutely purrfect and it even passes the official Tortie Taste Test...

And my own secret test that always freaks Mommy out...

She also made one for my little sisfur Angel.  She loves her ornament too but as you can see, she loves birdies just a bit more...

She did take time out to give it the official Angel sniff test and it passed...

Thank you so much Edi!  We love our ornaments very much!  

We hope you have lots to be thankful for today!

Isabella and Angel

It'll Always Be Sadieday

We'll always think of this day as Sadieday.  We just wish Sadie was actually with us today but we know she is in spirit.  We are still receiving thoughts and prayers and we want everybuddy to know how much we appreciate them.  We also received a very special gift from our friend Edi from Memories for Life.  She surprised us with this lovely ornament of our sweet Sadie...

When Mommy opened it she looked at Sadie's beawootiful smile and her eyes starting leaking right away.  Daddy saw the back side so he told Mommy to turn it around which of course really opened the flood gates...

We're all very thankful for Edi sending such a precious gift.  She even thought of us by including a ribbon...

We wish we could change things and that Sadie was here with us but since we can't, we're grateful for the support we've received from so many around the world.  Thanks so much to Edi too.  We will cherish this gift forever!

Be sure to get out on a stroll and find something to smile about today and every Sadieday!

Have a good weekend!

Look What I Found!

I got ahold of Mommy's laptop the other day and was looking around at some of the new things on Etsy and I came across something I had to share... Our friend Edi from Memories for Life Scrapbooks is now making custom engraved portraits on wood like this one of her cute little boy Harley... I thought it was so cute I asked Edi if it was okay to offer a custom 5x7 engraved photo to one of our blog furiends and you know what she said? She said YES! Isn't that exciting? I'll give you the details later but first I'll show you some personal experience we have with Edi's engraving. Mommy sent Edi a photo of her cousin's dog Tink...
And she made this engraved pendant...
Pretty cool huh? I'm thinking she needs some kitty engravings though don't you? I happen to know of a kitty who'd love to be a model! Anyway, to win your own custom 5x7 pet portrait made by Edi, just let us know in your comment. The giveaway will run through next Wednesday, August 31st, and we'll announce the winner next Thursday. This giveaway is open worldwide! Good luck!

Be sure to check out Edi's shop for fabulous custom albums and other engraved goodies. We promise you won't be disappointed plus Edi has generously given our readers 10% off anything in her shop with the code BTROCKS! Thanks Edi!

Enjoy your Thursday!

Peace, Purrs, and Catching Up...

Today is BlogBlast for Peace Day and we wanted to be sure to add our purrs for peace all over the world!

We're also purring for our furiend Inigo.

We're very worried about him and he's in need of lots of purrs and pawsitive thoughts.

We also need to take care of some business because we've been tagged not once, not twice but three times and our mommy is such a slacker we haven't posted any of them. These tags consist of 4 questions that we are supposed to answer and then make up 4 more questions and tag 4 more people. We'll let Mommy answer so let's get started...

The first set of questions is from Edi from Memories for Life Scrapbooks and her adorable furbaby Harley....

1. What was your biggest accomplishment for the week? Or month if you prefer?
Well, since November just got started I'll have to say our biggest accomplishment for October was having 15 sales in my BeadedTail shop so we were able to donate to lots of charities. I hope this trend continues!

2. If you could choose one age to be the rest of your life, what age would you choose?
Hmmm. Not sure about this one. 40 seems a good age to be.

3. What is your favorite season?
Spring since tax season ends!

4. What is your favorite color and why?
Purple. Not sure why, I've always been drawn to it.

Now from Pam at Magdalene Jewels and Dexter and Zoey:

1. Do you like to travel? If so, where do you most like to go or what was your most memorable trip? If you don't like travel, why not?
I love to travel although don't do it very often since we don't want to leave the furbabies. Hawaii is probably my favorite destination. We really enjoyed Maine too. Oh and Vancouver Island in Canada. I also go to Disneyland every year. I just love to travel anywhere!

2. What is one of your most favorite books you've ever read?
I enjoy reading and have to read something every day so have many favorites depending on my mood. I just can't read any book which something sad or bad happens to animals.

3. What is a favorite family food you like to make?
My husband does the cooking since it stresses me out but I do enjoy baking so like to make cookies especially at Christmas time, lemon bars and dog biscuits.

4. What do you collect?
After we moved I vowed to never have knick knacks around but I still occasionally collect angels and cat figurines.

And last but certainly not least, the questions from Duni from Lovely Purses and her handsome boy Sammy...

1. Early bird or night owl?
Night owl living in an early bird world including kitties who wake at 4am which means I am seriously lacking in sleep!

2. If you could be an animal, what would it be and why?
A cat of course! How wonderful it would be to nap all day, enjoy sunpuddles, get lots of snorgles, kisses, and treats and not have to pretend to like someone they don't!

3. What is your least favourite daily chore?
Hmmm. Another stumper. I'd have to say work!

4. Which crafty person do you greatly admire and why?
Tough question because there's several for various reasons. I admire Edi from Memories for Life Scrapbooks because she is so creative. Duni from Lovely Purses and Erika from NicoDesigns because they can sew anything and their work is fabulous - I can't sew anything. Plus they both are going after their dreams in their businesses. And Ann from Ann's Snap, Edit and Scrap because she is not afraid to always learn and try new crafty things.

Okay so now for 4 new questions and 4 people tagged:

1. If you had the power to fix anything that's wrong with this world, what would it be.
2. What's your favorite indulgence?
3. Describe your perfect day.
4. If you could fly off tomorrow to any destination for a week, where would you go and why?

And for the tagees, don't worry, I won't tag anyone who doesn't want to be tagged so I'll let anyone and everyone who wants to play along to do so. Hope someone does!

Phew! All caught up now! Have a great Thursday!

Sunday Celebration

Today is our Mommy and Daddy's 22nd anniversary! Since their Gotcha Day was 8-8-88, we had Edi from Memories for Life Scrapbooks make them an album so they'd never forget their day...

and they'll never forget how young they looked a squizillion years ago either...

Thanks Edi for making such a great album for our mommy and daddy! We all really like it very much! We really like the ribbon on it too!

Happy Anniversary Mommy and Daddy!

We'd also like to say Happy World Cat Day to all our kitty furiends and to all the honorary kitties too like our sisfur Sadie!

Here's a link to our post from World Cat Day 2009 about the kitties before us - Reebok and Panther.

Have a great Sunday!

We've Been Tagged!

We've been tagged with a fun photo tag by our friends Dave, Zim, Stormy and Ammy at the Army of Four and also by Teri from Rainblowflute. The tag is to open our first photo folder, scroll down to the 10th photo, post that photo and tell the story behind it, then tag 5 more bloggers.

Our first photo folder is from 1-3-09 and here is the 10th photo...

The story behind this photo is that my little sisfur Angel started looking out the downstairs window.

My other sisfur Isabella had to come see what she was looking at.

Then Angel left but Isabella kept looking out the window.

Well then I had to come see what she was looking at.

And eventually Isabella left leaving me all alone looking out the window which is the photo we started with today. Everything around here turns into a group project.

This was a fun tag so we're going to pass it on to 5 other bloggers with no obligation to play along although we hope you do! Here are our choices in no particular order:

Khyra from Khyra's Khorner

Rumblepurr and Inigo from Rumblebum

Edi from Memories for Life Scrapbooks

Sparkle and her sisfurs from Sparkle the Designer Cat

Catherine from Corner of a Cat's Mind
