Thankful Thursday

First and foremost, THANK YOU for being our friends and being so wonderful over the last weeks. It is never easy to lose a family member....your support and purrs and wishes have been wonderful and we truly appreciate it more than you will ever know.

Also, you may notice a new header - we were pleasantly surprised to get an email from Miss Ann at Zoolatry with a new header just for us. THANK YOU for thinking of us....we love it.

Saturday mom spent the day at an art retreat given by BZ TAT. Some of you will know her from Blog Paws conventions where she does artwork. She lives a couple of hours from us and when she put up the notice earlier this fall, mom signed up. Bearing in mind that mom has almost no artistic sense... MOL  Anyhow, with everything that has been going on, mom wasn't sure that she wanted to go, but decided she needed to get out of the house. She had sent in a picture of Maestro. Here is the series as she went along as well as the final picture. We were impressed.....





BZ TAT said that being artistic is all a state of mind....we all have the ability, we just need to tap into it. We think mom did a great job. The painting is now hanging on our "cat" wall in the entry to the condo.

  1. First, the header Ann did for you is terrific, it looks just wonderful. Second, that portrait of Maestro is awesome! Your human mom did an amazing job. But we don't quite believe everyone has artistic talent -- not our own human. Truly. LOL.

    Purrs and peace.

  6. If I have artistic ability, then my tap is broken. But I'm glad your mum has talent. Such paintings brighten lives. And I like the new header very much.

  7. We think that is better than great. Mom watched BZ TAT create on her iPad at BlogPaws. She was absolutely blown-away by what she could do. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

  9. I love the new header - AND the portrait of Maestro! I do think you have artistic talent - as good as Bz Tat is, she can't give someone the ability to be creative.

  20. The header is incredible, as it the painting. Mom bean says artistic talent may be a state of mind, but she's appawently lost hers! It is a wonderful memorial for Maestro.
