Coughs Colds and Cats

Hello ... 
No, I'm not better ... well maybe a little better than I was ... I just couldn't keep away ... I discharged myself from bed yesterday afternoon and came into my room to create something ...

Just a little card for Jingle Belles where the prompt is a Creature Feature


I love these little cats ... I cut them on the Cameo ...  they're supposed to be eyeing up that jingle bell hanging from the holly (Papermania Urban Stamps)


Some not so 'perfect pearls' ... I managed to smudge them


... but I'm happy with the end result

I also got some 'Happy Mail' yesterday ... It couldn't have come at a better time ... made me feel good to know someone was thinking about me


This came from the lovely Jacqueline ... Isn't that card just the sweetest? 
"Thank You" so much Jacqueline ... they're beautiful and your kindness is appreciated

This next envelope came from my sweet friend Cindy ... 


My first Christmas card/gift ... look at the sticker


Thank you so much Cindy!! 
I can hardly wait to see what is inside ... but it's the thought that really makes me smile

Thanks to you all for your well wishes ... Have a lovely Sunday

~ Ros ~

Those kitties are so fun ... I can just see one of them reaching a paw up to bat the bell ... so glad you joined our Creature Feature at Jingle Belles.
