Sunny Selfies and Santa Paws

Thimble decided that she hasn't snapped enough model shots lately, so she asked to be the star of our post for today's Sunday Selfie blog hop, hosted by our Kitties Blue pals over at The Cat on My Head.

It's not like I can say no to Thimble, so of course I let her snap away with those selfies.

Hmm. There's something just a tad bit glaring and blinding about that one. And, my goodness, what is that pumpkin decoration doing back there on the door? It's Christmastime, for goodness sake! Thimble says this certainly calls for a redo.

There, how's that? Thimble hopes that's up close and personal enough for you.

Of course, Thimble also asked that today's art be largely inspired by her. Given that this human is still in a bit of an ornament-making phase, I hoped this would meet Thimble's standards.

This tabby of a Santa Paws sure looks excited, just about as excited as the kitties around here. You see, today we're in the process of making the final touches to our Secret Paws package, so that it can head out on its way to its new home tomorrow. And for the kitties around here, wrapping gifts ranks right up there with harassing the Christmas tree, so we're having lots of fun!

A happy and festive Sunday to all of our furiends!


EDIT: It is with a heavy heart that we learned that one of the Kitties Blue, dear Fiona, gained her angel wings. Please do visit Fiona's mom and dad and brofurs and sisfurs over at the Sunday Selfie blog hop, and offer them your condolences and fond memories of beautiful Fiona. Fly high, sweet Fiona.

Our Tip of the Day:
This tip may be a bit different than our usual one, but we just wanted to remind everybuddy to be sure to get all of their Christmas packages and cards to the post office before the last-minute holiday craziness ensues! The postal system can become a bit chaotic this time of year, with people exchanging well wishes and gifts all over the world. So, in order to make sure that your furry furiends and two-legged friends receive all their cards and gifts on time, be sure to mail them out as soon as possible. If you're participating in this year's Secret Paws gift exchange, or even if you're not, our furiends over at Sweet Purrfections organized a page with important shipping information, which gives great advice on when to ship out the goods in order for delivery by Christmas.
