kittens and other things

the dark chocolate and marshmellow little boy is leaving next friday to his forever home about 45 minute from here in sonora california...we are very happy for him - he is getting a great mama...he is a lucky boy.  the others are leaving for their temporary forever homes next sunday with the rescue organization and they will find real forever homes in a quick minute...they are all very soft, sweet and gentle now...and purr as soon as you pick them up.

we let them out in the back room for an hour romp every morning...they are exhausted when finished; quickly grab a snack and then flat out like lizards drinking...a very, very long nappy.

have to make some decisions as to the new spring line coming in 2012...but...there are those of you who are so anxious about painting paper mache boxes - worried about the paper bubbling up when you apply acrylic paint - easy solution for that - spray all surfaces with matte sealer - a very light coat - it seals the paper and then the surfaces won't bubble when you apply the paint.

we'll talk about waxing boxes the next time...but do try the spray sealer...it really truly works and solves that bubbly problem.
