A Whiskery Day

Meet our newest family member. We adopted him from a cat rescue after he wrapped his paws around our necks and melted into our arms. We plan to provide him and our other kitty with a slow introduction. They have smelled each other under the scrap room door without hissing - so far, so good. I think the next thing I will do is feed them on either side of the door and do what is called 'site swapping' by Jackson Galaxy. He has a television show called My Cat From Hell  where he gives advice on how to get two cats to get along. Site swapping involves letting each cat explore the area the other has been in. Both our current kitty and new kitty have sweet dispositions, but we'd like to be on the safe side and make them both comfortable.

Any name suggestions for this handsome fella? He looks like he may have some Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest Cat in him.

Aloha!

Treasured Times is having a Challenge with a last farewell to summer! We would like for you to add embossing (dry or wet), and one or more butterflies to your creation. This challenge runs from September 12th until September 27th 


 

• You can enter more than one project.
• You may use any stamp of your choice as long as the criteria above is met.
• The winner of this challenge will be able to pick two digi images of their choice http://www.treasuredtimesrubberstamps.com/products/our-stamps

  The stamp the Design Team used is by Christy Hartman. It features a Hula girl and Aloha sentiment. On my sample I used:

• floral embossing on the background matting
• powder embossing on her toenails
• raffia for her grass skirt
• glitter and sand on the seashell
• details highlighted with Liquid Pearls
•  K & Company floral card stock
• I fussy cut her right arm from a second image and adhered it with foam to give this Hula girl dimension. 

I hope you get the chance to create a project using embossing and butterflies, then buzz on over to Treasured Times Blog to share your creation. You just might win some digi stamps!

 

More Powdered Sugar, Please!

Happy Pink Saturday! 

 

Recognize this pan? It is for making Ebleskiver.

   Æbleskiver  are traditional Danish pancakes in a distinctive shape of a sphere. Similar in texture to American pancakes crossed with a popover, æbleskiver are solid like a pancake but light and fluffy like a popover. 

 Getting to today's 'pink' I have a photo of the fresh, hot ebleskiver I shared today with Handyman.

We endured braved the heat and walked around the annual Old Towne Orange Street Fair today to sample some of the culinary delights. The cross-streets of Chapman Avenue and Glassell were cordoned off from vehicle traffic and more than a dozen ethnic food booths sold everything from bratwurst to fried rice.
 Our ebleskiver were served with raspberry jam and powdered sugar. As if that wasn't enough for his sweet tooth, Handyman also bought a root beer float.

 I drank water, but have to admit his drink looked inviting!
We looked at the vendor booths outside, then browsed in a few of the antique shops that line the streets.

I SPY A FEW PINK HATS :)

  From the crowded shops it was clear that others were taking advantage of a little A.C. like us!

The shops were chock full of furniture and dishes~

 There were old records, magazines and books~

 Signs, signs, everywhere a sign~

Another August gone, school has begun and it is now just a blink or two from the holidays. Can you believe it? Have a safe and relaxing Labor Day weekend!
