March 2026 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

I'm a little early for Easter, but the colors were too perfect to put it off for another month.  Also, we haven't had any snow for a while now, so I'm pushing for an early spring.  Excuse my glee, but it was nice to see New York hit with 30 inches of snow instead of us for a change.

I have no Irish anywhere in my family tree, but I do enjoy an Irish Pub.  There was a really nice one in St. Paul, Minnesota, years ago not far from the Chimera Theatre.  The minute you walked through the door, you felt like you were actually in Ireland.  A fun way to end an evening out.

The Boo Update --

We're taking a trip into the past here.  I was looking through all of my old pictures one afternoon. This was Boo in October 2018 just a month or two after I brought him in from the barn. When I pick him up today, I can't believe it's the same cat.  I had never expected him to get so big and have such long black fur.  And those rings on his tail were just adorable.  

Til next time . . .

February 2026 Blog Train & Fan Freebie

I like the idea of Valentine's Day, but I don't like that it's in February.  It's usually snowing and blowing, so it's more like a "Warm Heart Cold Feet" holiday :)

I used the same colors as the kit above so that you can mix-and-match as you please.

This is Boo with his buddy.  Jake had been my favorite stable cat and then one day about 4 years ago he just disappeared.  With barn cats, it happens.  Then, a couple months later when I was walking back to the house, there he was.  Oh, he was so thin.  He started purring the minute he saw me.  So, I brought him in the house so I could get some weight on him.  Boo liked the idea of "a little brother", and he fell right into our routine, so Jake became our second  house cat.  And, I have to say, it has been good for Boo to have another cat in the house.

 Happy New Year!  After the hustle and bustle of Christmas, it's kind of nice to just kick back and do normal everyday things.  A large part of those "things" for me is taking care of all of our animals, both inside and out.  My big project this winter is cleaning out the basement.  Sort of a New Year's resolution.  That should be an adventure!

I put together a group of borders, tags and a pearl swirl to enhance your pages with the blog train kit.

Boo is happy Christmas is over and the house is getting back to normal again.  He will miss the tree though.  He likes sleeping under it.  That's the last thing that comes down. 

2026 . . . Here we come!

Except for several years of living in Southern California, I have always lived in snow country.  Playing in snow is our way of convincing ourselves that all that snow falling from the sky really isn't so terrible.  In fact, it's beautiful to look at, fun to play in, and on some days, it's a real adventure to drive in :)  And, we have a thing here called "Snow Days" where nobody goes nowhere until it stops snowing and the plows go through to clear the roads and my long driveway.

Oh, the things I do to Boo's pictures!!  I have to dress up his pictures because he certainly wouldn't let me do these things to him!  He is a joy, but sometimes his Maine Coon half comes out in him and he can be less than cooperative. 

From my family to yours, have a very Merry Christmas!
