Tonks Tuesday in yet Another Tree

Tonks doesn't just climb into and settle down in the traditional Christmas trees in the house. She also quite enjoys a certain cat bed in the shape of a Christmas tree. It's all about trees these days with Tonks.

Tonks and all of us here wish you a terrifically relaxing Tuesday!

Festive Flashback Doodle of the Day

I remember scribbling this doodle up last year. I believe it was indeed just last year when I became especially enamored with the imagery of festive lampposts, after I saw a photograph showcasing one. And so, lampposts decked with wreaths started filling up my sketchbook.

Tip of the Day

This holiday season, don't forget the dangers that fire can cause. Some festivities include the lighting of candles, and some of us simply like to light candles for their lovely scents. If you do light candles in your home, as you certainly know, do be sure that these are out of reach of your furbabies for safety's sake. Also, of course, be aware of the dangers the fireplace can pose. If your fireplace is lit, do be sure that your kitty or pup cannot reach the flames, such as by putting up a barrier, or even blocking them from the room with the fireplace altogether. In addition to this, for everyone's safety, don't forget to stay on top of the care and keeping of your fireplace. Before using it for the season, have the chimney cleaned out, so that bird nests or other potentially flammable objects are not lying in wait up there, making a house fire possible. As always, better safe than sorry!
