Dream A....LOT!

Remember all those postcards I got crazy and made? I decided--well--my cat with the blog- decided to mail one to any of his friends who wanted one. It was one of those things, that proves I am such a dreamer.

I never think how long something may take or the work that actually goes into to getting it done. I just picture end the result. I smile at what I 'see' and am always shocked how many pages I gotta turn to get to the final chapter. Always.

These postcards were no different. Once they arrive to their destinations, I'll speak more about it. The reason being, a couple 'cats' who are to receive do read this blog. :) Don't get me wrong, I got a rush doing the postcards. Even if I just had 3 minutes to spare to get to the Post Office. I did learn it takes 98 cents to send something to England and New Zealand. Far cry,when I did the pen pal thing in my Jurassic Park years and 'airmail' was like 14 cents. I HAD to mail them yesterday. I'd planned to mail them on New Year's Eve. Well, things closed early. Yes, there is a story behind all of this!

To get to THE point, I enjoyed doing the cards, making them and sending them. All of it. I just don't have a good concept of time. What I think should take 15 minutes is more like 2 hours. Plus it gave me thought of my cat business. I do want to do t-shirts and/or sweatshirts. I want to do several styles, yet finances keep me grounded. I need to do ONE quite well. I'm OK with my thoughts on paper products, yet it's the shirts. I can 'see' it, yet not as clear as it will be.

Printing off a gazillion postcards did plant seeds for a later harvest. I know what appeals to me. I firmly believe people know things came from your heart and not just that you want to make cash. People sense your heart felt and want to be a part of it.

That's the harvest

....we dreamers dream of!

New Year's Eve Eve

Can you believe it?

2010 is about to close up on us. Seems kinda like yesterday it New Year's Day 2010, then we have a 12 inches of snow in February, I start school, a new job, gain weight, lose weight, gain weight, attend, my all decade High School reunion in Iowa, think about giving up this house, celebrate my 4th year anniversary of that pesky open-heart surgery I had, committed to a new church home, started new friendships, strengthened some, kinda tapered off on others, pet cats, fed cats, cleaned litter boxes, said good-bye to the sweetest kitty-Perry (who remains on this blog's banner), started a novel (again), saw a chum get married who I watched go from a brat to an intelligent, successful woman, basked in the thought of making a peach pie with peaches from my own peach tree, only to have my outside 'pets' take a bite out of just about every one, tried Vietnamese food because a classmate asked me to, still ponder what color to paint these walls--I have enough color strips on them as is...and well....you get the picture.

On this next to the last day of 2010 looms, I'll reminisce of what happened and what didn't. I'll Thank God tonight becausse he let me see this day, and I'll thank Him tomorrow if He sees fit to wake me up. Then I'll wipe the sleep from my eyes as the final day of the year beckons and may have the look of this kitty...

"2010, it's been good. It has. I'll miss you. I got my impatience showin'

See, me and 2011 are eager to get our year long party on!"

And yes, the kitty DID say that...!

December 28, 2008 was Sunday

...and the day my cat Noir started 'his' blog: Noir's Nook.
Yea, it was to be just a lark. I, being the *human* I am,
Had no clue animals had their OWN blogs.
For some reason, I thought Noir would be
One of the few creative cats out there--.
WRONG.
When Noir got a comment from a hamster, I realized
This whole animal blog thing was HUGE.
At first, I wanted Noir to be a feline with opinion-
To chat of world events, TV and such.
The few posts didn't really jell, so visits then to other blogs,
Noir's blog had to be about what he knew--
His life and his family --which included me--for better for worse
And dreams he may have ruling over his savannah-
Noir isn't a world famous feline, yet has chums
All around the world.
Pretty cool technology literally brings the world together!
And remember those postcards I printed up?
Well, Noir decided I should be the one to send one
To any of his world wide chums who want one.
Hmm. It's funny we've not discussed wage of any kind!
On this day two years after Noir started his blog, Noir's Nook
I gander over to the the CEC aka Chief Executive Cat now...
