HAPPY TUESDAY


June, you don't look too happy, and it's Happy Tuesday!

Oh, but I am happy, mine Mommy. Our little tree is decorated and shining bright,
I did manage to finish all my your our cards for mailing
 (but oh my it was hard and I hope Santy Paws gives me extra credit for doing that!) ... 
now I'm just being easy and waiting to fill up my MerryBasket 
with any cards the post person brings to me you us.
S'riously, all the cards are for me ...

It's getting so exciting, more every day!

Mmm, one ornament must've fallen to the floor, want to put it back on the tree?

OK
(I'm working hard to be nice, not naughty)

FROM US TO YOU ~ OUR CHRISTMAS CARD 2024


Today is Christmas Card Day, 
and so we are sharing our holiday wishes with you and yours, 
with thanks for sharing friendship with us over this past year.
As many of our pet blogging friends ~ and furriends,
no longer actively blog, or take part now in other social media, 
we will also be emailing this card today to one and all.

SATURDAY STUFF ~ on SUNDAY

Just sitting there, minding my own, taking in a distance view out the window ('cause she's got those windows open again with that c-c-cold air comin' in, meowz).  And I hear her say, "see that purple box by your toes, get to work little girl!"
But it's my afternoon easy time, almost nap time, work?  Then she says (which translates to complains) that the car door closed on her left paw last week and it's still swollen and sore, and this morning she did hurties to her right paw and now it is all red-and-achey, too.  So it is incumbent upon me (what is incumbent?) to do all our ChrissyMouse Cards ... because, because MONDAY is Christmas Card Day and they have to go to the man in blue shorts so he can take them to all the friends 'n' furriends  we care about, except up in Canada, where they'll wait around until Valentine's Day for delivery maybe.


I look down.  OMC.  There's my fave pink pen.
How many cards are in those boxes?
Does she really seriously think I'll get this done in time?
After all, I'm only just out of kittengarten,
I can't write ... I only print ... that takes longer ...



One way or t'other, that pen is going to the floor.
As soon as she leaves the room ...
I love rolling it around,
rolling it here and there,
rolling it everywhere ...


writing cards with it,
well, that's a whole different matter.

We'll see about that.

CATURDAY ART ~ CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS

A few years ago, we took our traditional red-and-white striped sox ornament
 and by way of multiple tools available in Adobe Creative Cloud, 
turned it into a "virtual" Christmas tree ornament.  
The only add-on while designing this were some 
touches of the color green as a base.  This was the finished image.


Recently, I decided to try the same with June's blue-and-white polka dot
ornament, of course, long ago forgetting the tools and techniques used.
Just again, repeat/repeat then layer/layer.  Twist and turn,
create a mosaic, a stained glass appearance, 
just color and light and shape and design.
So, below, June's "virtual" Christmas tree ornament.
