Poor Hammy, Our Beautiful World, and Vacay Collages

Hello!

If you came in shopping for a card today, that section is closed. I didn't want to spoil my last post with my beciting news of meeting Lolly, so I didn't mention it, but we had a unfortunate incident happen while we were away and I came home to find a VERY unhappy Hammy curled up in the corner of his cage. 

You see, I made the mistake of agreeing to let my neighbor take care of Hammy for me. Her daughter, who goes to year-round school, had three days off for teacher work days and she volunteered to bring home the stray cat who hangs around the school. And this happened:

On the one hand, I have to say that if a cat is going to pee on my hamster, I'm glad it was an educated cat who knows how to write because otherwise, I would have come home to this morose hamster and be wondering what the heck happened. No wonderment involved this way.

I must say he sure looks and smells pretty now after fifteen shampoos in Bvlgari with a drop of Anita's honey, but those two cards I posted Tuesday? Yup, all made by me. I think if I just work hard on my own and he sees that I can manage, his ego will have him getting over his snit in no time. Not that I blame him for snitting!

Just don't even look at him. Let's move on to the serene dippitiness of life. 

I've mentioned before that we still have the Mister's first truck, purchased in 1976. Yesterday he took it in for a smog check and the attendant commented that he might want to remove the nearly 40 years' worth of registration stickers. Our son loves that truck, so I hopped up with the camera to take a photo of the stickers for him before they were removed. No biggie, right?

Well, I came back in the house and the first thing I see is the new challenge at Our Beautiful World. Guess what it is? LAYERS! You gotta love it!

OBW is a fun photo challenge and a nice change of pace, so I hope you check it out if you're interested!
