Rainy Weekend

It poured rain all weekend, flooding alot of the area. We did not get out much, but it was so nice to have some time at home. I caught up on my cleaning, attempted a new recipe and made Evan's favorite, macadamia nut white chocolate chip cookies. I really enjoy baking, but still haven't mastered the art. Cookies I can do, but I still have a lot to learn. The new recipe I tried was German Apple Pancake from one of my Pampered Chef cookbooks. It tasted good, but didn't look as pretty as I would like. I think I was using a baking dish that was too big for the recipe, so I'll just have to try it again next weekend.

Staying indoors was not enough to keep dry. We had to put towels down because the rain was coming down so hard it was leaking through the windows. We covered all the furniture that was in danger of getting wet, but my little Bubbles thought we were making her a special bed. I guess my cats don't mind getting a little wet.

Evidence

My cat (no longer a kitten) loves make-up brushes. He dives into my make-up bag while I'm getting ready in the morning and steals them. At least a month ago, he took my powder brush and we couldn't find where he hid it. This weekend, Evan pulled it out from underneath the washing machine. The bottom of the brush is gone never to be found again, but the brush was, amazingly, still in tact. The picture above is the evidence supporting my claim that Buzz stole the brush.

LITTLE BUBBLES

I have been so inspired by this world of craft bloggers that I have attempted my first set of handmade greeting cards. I worked all weekend to decide on a design and create a set of birthday and thank you cards at my coffee table in the living room. I had so much fun. I wanted to put some kind of signature on the cards, but had no "trademark." I thought about my inspiration for my first set of cards and decided on my signature, "Little Bubbles," after my precious kitten that I love so much. I'll be working on my logo over the next weeks probably with Bubbles in my lap.

Shoe Monster

I have two adorable kittens, Buzz and Bubbles, who are running rapid through the house. They jump on the counter and chase my feet under the covers when I am trying to sleep. This is normal kitten activity, so I overlooked the bad behavior because they are just so cute. Recently, an incident has occured that I'm not sure I can forgive and forget. THE CATS ATE MY FAVORITE SHOES!! I had no idea kittens ate shoes. They are lucky I have a few extra pairs to keep me going and that they are precious.
