New Year, New Thoughts?

So the start of a New Year with lots of great ideas and lots of chances to improve on everything from last year. Too bad it's starting with so much drama. If anyone has any ideas of what do to about an elder cat who seems to be showing signs of kitty Alzheimers and has his days and nights mixed up, please let me know. It's light being tortured - slowly - painfully - five minutes at a time - me and my family - not the cat. He gets up and wanders around at night - not unlike most cats - but proceeds to meow, then Meow, then MeoW, then MEOW and it gets higher in volume and goes on for hours, literally. Last night - two hours sleep tops - if you put all the ten minute intervals together. I finally gave up at 4:45 and got up - and stayed up - guess where he is right now - yep, curled up sound asleep on my nice heated waterbed! I'm so tempted to have him put down - he's 18 - isn't going to get any better - but other than that, he's healthy. So tell me, what would you do?

Chris' Birthday card

I just finished this card for my friend's birthday. I will be giving it to her today. It is a pattern from Ann's Paper Arts. I love her patterns.

My upcoming vacation / trip home

I am getting really excited about travelling next Wednesday to see my family and friends - I haven't seen them in five years. I'm looking forward to the smell of the ocean, walking on the beach, tasting fresh fish and hopefully lobster, meeting my nephew again now that he is old enough to remember me, seeing all my old friends and just hanging out. I will be away from my Daisy dog and for that I will be sad, but will enjoy my time on my own.

I will try to get some more cards posted in the next day or so.
