MY DAY ONE POST:

I apologize that the lighting was not good here.  This layout is on a really soft baby blue.  This is my Grumpette or Grumpy for short.  She was the only cat I knew that could growl and purr at the same time.  I say "was" because in 2010 at the age of 16 I had to say goodbye to my friend.  Devastating to say the least and I cannot think about her even today without tearing up and just sighing at my loss.

My home burned in 1994 and I lost three cats.  Again a devastating turn of events.  It took months to get the house back together but as soon as I moved back in I was searching for a cat.  Not to replace the others but to help fill the void.  While shopping at a barn sale I saw a litter of kittens and there she was. Very distant in her approach, careful to not show any emotion or attachment but something drew me to her.  Home she came whether she liked it or not and when she saw my three dogs she was NOT impressed!  LOL 

Please stop back tomorrow so see another layout of my cherished and sadly missed friend.  I will tell you more about her Catitude then..thanks for stopping by today, I look forward to your comments tomorrow.



  Now, hop on over toYvette L. http://gammascreativecorner.blogspot.com/ and see the beautiful creations she has made for the hop.  Please be sure to stop by tomorrow and hop along with us again to see more crafty creations.  Remember, to adopt/rescue a little furry feline friend.
