Boxes and Bundles and no Work today

There is a big box that has appeared in our house!  It's not particularly pretty looking (except in my eyes) and it doesn't have a big red bow on top, but that hasn't quelled my excitement - I'll tell more later!!

Today is the day David and I have been married for eight whole years.  We are not very gifty people so I was surprised to find a bundle wrapped and tied with string on the chair as I came to sit at the computer this morning.  It's soft and squishy - I have an idea what it might be, but am somehow relishing the thought that I have an unwrapped gift sitting next to me.  If I sit here too long I might have to open it, but at the minute I am enjoying the memories of that magic of wrapped gifts from years gone by.  Not knowing, but wondering.

David left me another surprise for this morning too!  New wallpaper for Windows!  I'm not sure when this was taken - chances are I was off in the land of dreams just like Raff.  I tell you, this cat sleeps in the strangest positions, but then don't they all!

No work today? I was supposed to have three appointments with one realtor, but he called last night to postpone them until the New Year - woohoo! Christmas has begun!

Two items in my Artfire shop!

Yesterday I worked at getting my Artfire shop up and running. At the moment I have just two items there, but am planning on adding more today. I have to say, I do like the fact that when you add a listing all the information is on one page. Listing on Etsy involves several pages of info and often I'll have to skip back and forth between them as I remember something I'd like to add. Seeing everything on one page made the process much more streamlined.

Here's who's up there!
Baker Bill - Cake Tester Extraordinaire - (sounds better than Chef on a stick right?!)

Isn't he a happy looking fellah!

And a Monkee on a stick the Primary Primate Tester!



Up next I have a Kitchen Cat who always loves to make things from 'Scratch' - this one will be going on Artfire today (that's the plan at least!)



I was happy with the way this cat turned out.  My first one had no ears, because I figured they were inside the hat.  Well, it looked a little odd, a cat with no ears, so I like this design MUCH better.  She promises she will NOT lick the cake batter!

As Artfire are still in beta at the moment this is the link for my shop front
