Ain't over 'til the cat-lady sings

Finally, after a full morning of cat-sitting, I got the tree down and the ornaments put away. I don't care for this task. And then......

I was so excited to receive in the mailbox a gorgeous gift from California today . Judy,  from http://judyatgoldcountrycottage.blogspot.ca/ has gifted me with the most adorable Christmas garland. Tabby cats carrying Christmas Plum Pudding.

I saw one similar on her blog and remarked how cute it was and she so thoughtfully sent me an extra one she had. I am so thrilled to receive it. After putting the Christmas tree ornaments away I immediately hung the garland in the dining-room.

Oh my gosh, this is so adorable and vintage. Oooo...I love it.

 So....looks like Christmas is about to hang around our house for a few more days and that's that.
This is now one of my 'favorite' Christmas things. Thank you so much Judy.

I'm going to relax today and maybe try out one of my new teas that I got for Christmas.

 I'll give it a go and let you know if it's a keeper. Remember, always add honey. It's good for you.

"I'm lame."

The temperatures here have risen, Hallelujah! We are around -3 today and it is bearable for walking dogs. I am so relieved for the ferals in the area, too. If you are caring for out-door cats this winter please drop over to http://crazyasaloom.blogspot.ca/ for advice on building out-door houses.

Thanks again, Judy.
