BAUBLES
Among some of the fantastic gifts I received were these beautiful "baubles" from my sister-in-law Nancy, who lives in Florida. She had visited France last summer and picked these up for me:
They now have a place of honor on a shelf in my office, I just love them!!!
BIRTHDAY
I also received some fabulous cards which you can see below:
Thanks to all who sent me cards, I hope I didn't miss anyone! I loved each and every one of them and am deeply touched!!!
BOWTIES
One of our readers commented on our Blogoversary post asking if Cody was wearing a collar. Nope, it wasn't a color but it WAS an adorable Bowtie!!A few months ago I participated in an auction, and was the highest bidder of these darling Bowties made by Emily from Kitty Cat Chronicles!!!!
Emily makes custom-made Bowties and Flowers for kitties!!!!!

Our crochet bow ties and flowers are hand-made right here at
home. They can be made in any color(s) or size. They have elastic bands on the
back that slide over a collar. A great gift for any furry furiend, whether they
be a kitty or a woofie!
The bow ties and flowers come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you aren't happy with the way your bow tie or flower turned out or if something comes apart, send it back for a fix or replacement at any time! You can place your order for a bow tie or flower by emailing us at kittycatchronicles@gmail.com. 10% of all proceeds are donated to Circle of Friends Animal Society. - See more at: http://www.kittycatchronicles.com/bow-ties--flowers.html#sthash.EHQUzBvE.dpuf |
Cody isn't a fan of bow ties or other items that he has to wear, so I don't normally keep them on him that long. He wears them for special photos and holidays and that's about it! I thank Emily for doing such an incredible job with them, I am so happy to have been the highest bidder!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! Cody now has them in FOUR different colors, so he is all set! Thank you Emily!!
CAT BUTTS!
The next cat item I received was from my other sister-in-law, Judy. These you have seen quite a bit on the web, but here they are again!
CARTOON WORDS NOT INCLUDED!!
Then, I had a most wonderful surprise from my friend Joanne over at Triple T Studios! Back in September she had a give-away for a Cuddly Cat Pillow that I went crazy for because the gray tabby cat pillow looks so much like Cody!! Well, I entered the give-away, didn't win, but guess what Joanne surprised me with on my milestone birthday? Here it is!!!! The:
FROM TRIPLE T STUDIOS!!
$19.99
The Cuddly Cat Pillow is the purr-fect way to add cat
cuteness where you need a cushion. This soft plush covered pillow
measures approximately 15 inches ( 38 cm) wide, 11 inches (28 cm) high and 3
inches (8 cm) in depth. Large enough to make a statement but small enough
to double as a travel or car pillow. Your new cat nap companion!
Cody doesn't think it looks like him, I think it does!
The Cuddly Cat Pillow is covered with a soft plush material.
The poly-fill pillow insert is included.
The Cuddly Cat Pillow is available in two colors: Gray Tabby
and Brown Tabby.
Cody doesn't have to worry, the Cuddly Cat Pillow now resides with my other "artsy" pillows on our couch. I am certain I will find Cody sleeping on it or by it, one day soon!!!!
A huge thank you to Triple T Studios for this MOST APPRECIATED and deeply loved, surprise milestone birthday gift!!!!
