I'm also happy to announce that all the kitties were all feeling much better when I got home. And some more good news - Corey (Casper's twin outside) has finally let me touch him, pet him, scratch his head, and I was even able to pick him up the other day!!!! <insert big smilie face> It's not all the time. He still skitters away from me sometimes, but this is real progress!
Okay, so much for the news of the week. I'm sure you'd like to see my card for this week's Perfect Sentiment challenge.

Really fabulous card! I love the cake, ribbon, papers -- all of it! Maybe Corey missed you when you were gone. I'm glad to hear he's making baby steps at connecting. He may never be a cuddlebug but I think he appreciates you and would like to be more friendly. Some cats, like people, never get altogether past those early childhood influences.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like a fabulous restauant.
ReplyDeleteGreat card!
Fantastic card and a really patriotic design, thanks for joining in the fun at Cupcake this week :) Donna ♥ x
