The Latest 'Mews'

I'm in the December issue of Chicagoland Tails Magazine!

I had attended the 4th annual 'Pet Psychic Fair and Halloween Boo-tique' at Harmony House Cat Shelter. I do promotional art-work for Harmony House - a cageless no-kill cat shelter in Chicago.

My art-work for them helps promote their special events, such as this one. My art for Harmony House has been used in their newsletters, website and T-shirts. I attended the Halloween event with my friend Melissa, and we had a wonderful time catching up with all the Harmony House cats, kittens, and staff. The photo below was taken at the event, and is now published in this months issue of Chicagoland Tails Magazine!

I'm the one in the middle, along with Patricia Clancy (left) and Alicia Halloran (right) two of the animal communicators at the event.

This is sweet sweet little "Sambuca"! She's my favorite cat at Harmony House!
She's shy but very precious, I adore her so much. She only has one eye - but I like to think of it as her perpetual wink ;)

This lovely long haired orange cat kept staring at me with those big 'take me home' eyes. This cat really took a liking to me, perhaps because we both have orange hair ;) This cat later gave me a kiss, and was more than happy to let me takes lots of pictures. What a great kitty model!

My friend Melissa with one of the cats she fell in love with, and this cat fell in love with her right back. Total Kitty Love!

Last week, I got a package in the mail. I didn't know who the sender was, and was confused as to what was in the package. But once I opened it, I realized that I had won a very nice photo bracelet cuff from Chicagoland Tails magazine. The have contests every month in the magazine, and I had entered to win this bracelet, and I didn't even know I won 'til I opened the package, it was quite a nice and unexpected surprise! Chicagoland Tails has been good to me this month :)

In other 'mews', I'm still working on some items for my Etsy shop that I will be adding soon in the weeks to come. I'm working on several different projects at once, been very busy, so it takes me awhile to complete all my new items, but they all will be worth it once I finish them. In the meantime, come check out what I have available now at:


And check back soon for my latest cat related crafts and arts
