Or should I say Cat tired. That just doesn't have the same ring to it does it.
I should be in bed right now but I wanted to get this post up,
Because I know I won't have a chance to post tomorrow.
All this week I am watching a couple of young ladies.
They are my friends daughters. So Bright and early this morning they
arrived.. Lets just say we had a full day.
1. Watched a movie first thing in the morning...
2. Went swimming.
3. pulled out some paper and paint and had fun creating.
4. Put a tent up in the living room and had a picnic inside..
5. Went swimming again.
6. Then I tried to teach them to knit..
7. Mom came to pick them up and I didn't move off the couch for at least an hour.
Those girls were so fun.. I had a blast. They had me laughing so
hard that my checks hurt. Boy does that feel good.
So I wonder what we will do tomorrow.
This is my In-laws beautiful cat.
So I can honestly say I was Cat tired..
No... It still doesn't sound right.
****
So it's time to show you what I created for this
weeks challenge over a City Crafters Challenge blog.
Ros is asking us to create a gift..
So I am showing you a bookmark that I made for
my girlfriend Birthday. I also bought her a book to go with it.
Here is the other side of the bookmark.
Lots of layers here even though in the end it
is completely flat.
So to get all the details on this challenge you can hop on over to
City Crafters Challenge blog.. While you are there you can check out
what the other gals made..
Take care my friend..
Hugs~

Beautiful bookmark Linda! Oh, that cat is so pretty...I love her, thanks for sharing! Ha Ha, Lisa's comment made me laugh at myself..."love the energy of children?" You can really tell I'm not cut out to be a mom. LOL You are so good with them! :-)

Your bookmark is beautiful, Linda, always a great gift! I love that verse, the colors and all the layers! I know what you mean about being"cat" tired, but cats don't seem to get too tired! The heat have mine wishing for winter. Tigger only lasted 15 minutes out this morning, it was 95 at 11:00 and 100 by noon! Needless to say it is going to be a hot day! Your day does sound busy, but fun. Enjoy it and then be happy to send them home because you can! Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Wow! You sure are busy, Linda! I can understand why you are worn out! :)

Sometimes being "Dog Tired" and nee
needing a "Cat Nap," is a good thing, especially if if was good fun that brought you to that point! Love this tag and those colors are yummy as can be! What a great sentiment as well! Enjoy your evening and get that rest! Hugs!
Phewwww...hope you have recovered from your full on day, even tho it sounds like lots of fun. Love your book mark, what a lovely gift to make and give, and the photo of that beautiful cat is so perfect...I just want to reach out and stroke her. xx
Honestly, Linda ... everything you make is a gift. Especially the time you set aside to spend with three young ladies. Thanks for sharing a smile with me today.
Sounds like you all had a very fun day Linda!! You bookmark is fabulous, love the layers, pretty vintage image and the saying on the back is perfect. Im sure your friend will treasure this and think of you whenever she reads :)
It sounds like you had loads of fun! Want to teach me how to knit? I can crochet, but not knit.
Love this tag and the fun fibers. :)

I think you're entitled to be cat tired after all that. LOL Your in-laws cat is gorgeous and so is your beautiful bookmark. What a lovely treasure for your friend. Hugs!

Fantastic tag, love the colors and images.
Love the bookmark, and I bet those little girls were pretty "cat" tired at the end of the day too.
I love your creativity- you always inspire me in ways I never knew I had in me.
Cat tired sounds just fine for me - especially with such a beautiful cat! :-)
I love your crafting, too - so gorgeous!
What a good friend you are, Linda!
I'll bet you'll be more than cat tired by the end of the week. :-)
I am so glad you are having a good time with them.

That cat is astonishing. A kiss on the whiskers :).
Your agenda and after-party couch time made me laugh! Love this tag for your friend. :)
Yes, little ones can be tiring and it sounds like you had a full day, no wonder you are "cat" tired. Cute kitty, by the way. Love that bookmark, lucky birthday friend to receive. Happy rest of the week.
Great idea to make a bookmark to go with the book...it is beautiful, she will love it...sounds like you have had a full week and need a "cat nap"!!
Oh, that sounds like what it is like when my grandkids come ... I am cat tired at the end of the day!
Ha! It's fun to have kids around, but indeed, it's taking up a HUGE amount of energy ;-) Hope you're having a great time with them, though! Love your tag, it's beautiful and that quote... that's all we need in life basically! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog, take care, Ira x
