A Handful of Floof, Meeting and Greeting and an Itty Bitty Favor

You'll be happy know that the kittens were little champions yesterday. They had their vaccines and microchips and neither made a single peep, squeak or hiss. Nice work, kittens.

We were lucky enough to bump into Sue from Pitter Pats and her adorable babies while we were there. So, through the bars of their carrier, the Frosts and Wooseys got to say hello.

Vaccines always take a lot out of the kittens so when they got home, the crashed until evening. They woke up around eight, realizing they had slept through there dinner and cried, cried, and cried until their dishes were placed on the floor.

Craig had been out digging for clams yesterday, and got home just after their dinner. The smells he brought back from the ocean, got everyone stirred up. Charlene and the Frost swirled around his feet as he cleaned his clams in the kitchen.

Afterwards, a romp in the living room with all three cats, who are getting along famously.


Now,,, the itty bitty favor part....

It's easy, I swear, and only requires a few moments of your time. I posted this yesterday on Facebook, so if you're a friend of Bean, you know all about it, so I apologize for this double-dose.

Anyway.... I am a finalist in a little crafty competition hosted by the Crafts Department at Martha Stewart. They are giving the top five folks in this competition a space at the Martha Stewart Holiday Craft Sale at the MS Creative HQ in NYC. It's an amazing sale, and many of the vendors are a part of the creative team at Martha Stewart. The others are top-notch members of the crafting community. To be able to participate in this sale would be thrill of a lifetime, an amazing opportunity.

They are asking the public to pick the winners, and that's where you come in.

If you wouldn't mind taking a second to give me a vote of support, I certainly would appreciate it. It's quick and easy and there's no registration required.

I'm number seven on the list of contenders, just click on Laurie Cinotto/ lalalaurie and cast your vote. Voting ends at Friday, Nov 12th at Noon EST.

Thank you friends, I REALLY appreciate your support.
