Christmas Time Already

Has anyone else started decorating? I typically leave it to like a week before Christmas because I am super lazy (which is also why it tends to stay up until approximately March, but whatever) but this year I got a bit of a head start. I actually feel like I accomplished somethings this weekend. I started and finished my Christmas cards! Excellent. Photos of those and possibly a tutorial will be posted after I send them all out. I also started decorating for Christmas, so here are some pictures.

Zsa-zsa is helping me make Christmas cards by keeping my paper warm. This is completely necessary to the card making process.

One of two large snowflakes I made. I also made smaller ones which I painted gold. I don't like them as much.

This is my "gingerbread" village. I made this about 3 years ago, it's held up really, really well. It's quite cute. I think I might like to get model trees instead of using the paper ones it came with, but for now they'll do.

And this is where I'm putting the mini-tree this year. I think it looks cute with that little snow man and those two signs.


And, last but not least I will leave you with a view I had a few days ago while I was getting ready for work. This was actually a little terrifying to be honest. She was so sneaky!

A real ceiling cat. This is not the first time I've had a cat in the ceiling. Kujo is the one who knocked out and broke the light panel originally, Zsa is just following in his footsteps. ☹

Halloween Costumes (for cats)

So I was in Petsmart the other day getting new collars and hairball formula for Darcy and saw the cutest Halloween costumes for dogs. It got me thinking about costumes for cats, and with a little searching I found the meager offerings. They were all adorable, limited quantity that there was. So, of course, when I got home I had to check the internet and I found a few more.


Cowboy - Petco


Shark Fin - Petco


Fairy Wings - Petsmart


Superhero - Petco


Mermaid - Petco


I imagine one of my cats would be just fine with dressing up, but the other would probably freak out. Even knowing that it would likely last only a few minutes, I'm still kind of tempted to do it. Have you ever dressed your cat up? How'd they feel about that?
