A+ for Recycling

ASSIGNMENT:  create something from the Recycle Box and the Junk Drawer.

The results:  a trash-talking-cat

The girls enjoyed minutes of entertainment on this drizzly, rainy day.

PS: the youngest drinks "hot chalky" every morning... regardless of the outdoor and indoor temperature.  Completely unaware that the thermostat registers 91 degrees at 8:45 am.

PPS: Trash Cat has become part of the family.  Trash Cat even took a trip to Target.  A stroll in the stroller.  And Trash Cat has its own seat at the dinner table. 

PPPS:  I am hoping to give Trash Cat back to the recycle bin before trash pick up on Wednesday.

A pet portrait

My cousin is an awesome artist/painter.  She paints pets.  These portraits are amazing!  I am in awe of her talent.  And I am now gathering some photographs of my pets to have their portraits made as gifts to my children and husband.  It is truly the perfect gift for people who love their pets and for people who already have everything!
