My funny valentines!

Igot the best idea from a girl at work today to dress the kittens up and take their pictures for valentines day! I thought maybe I would make little v day cards for work!

We are having our second annual valentine exchange at work and there are 50 of us! We all make a valentine recepticle and bring in cards for everyone. most every one buys the little kids ones at the store.. a few people make them.. 50 is a lot to make.. and actually I think there are 52 of us playing! Some of the people that arent playing are judges and go around judging our "mailboxes". Mine is not that special.. but some of them are really cool! One girl made a big pink pig! and you have to mail your cards and treats in his butt!

Anyways, today someone brought theirs cards in and she had taken a cute picture of her dog and made cards out of it. Thats all it took for me! I could hardly work the rest of the day thinking about little ruffled collars and hats!

This proved to be much harder then I thought it would be.. getting 7 babies to cooperate.. and the parents! They did not want me to mess with their kittens .. it didnt help that the kittens kept crying out to them "help us help us help us!!" I put figgy and frannie upstairs to try to spare them the stress!

Regardless.. it was difficult and I didnt get the shots I had hoped for.. their little hats kept slipping off, I didnt want to tie them too tight ya know! and they wouldnt all look at me at the same time.. and they were crying and trying to get out of the basket!

They sure were cute though! I do think I still can use one of the pics, probably this one above. but I need to get copies made tomorrow and finish them up tomorrow night because they have to be delivered by friday! We have off on monday! (thank you mr presidents! except that I'm on call! )

When I finally let figgy and frannie down stairs, I put hats on them too! Frannie hated it ! figgy was not feeling much better then her about it, but i managed to grab him and snap a picture. looks a bit ticked doesnt he! Well that was my excitement for tonight! American Idol is on soon.. so I'll be making some popcorn and settling in with some needlefelting for the evening.
OH... in the weight loss department. I started out with such a bang and have lost almost 40 pounds.. but I guess I've hit that plateau that people talk about. 3 weeks ago I lost .8, the next week .6 and this week though at work I lost half a pound, at weight watchers I weighed the same as last week! Im behaving.. really. Even when I cheat a little, Im with in my points or extra points. Well in anycase, I will not give up! I still want to lose at least 30 or 35 pounds before summer. thats only 6 pounds a month.. if I could just convince my body to let go of that fat again!
got about 20 minutes to go blog hopping.. see ya there!

This has brought a smile to many snow-laden people! So much more fun to look at your kitties than that tiresome white stuff! Your post about your party with friends was so great!

How adorable Vivian!... Thanks for sharing this post with me ~ I can handle dressing one cat for the holidays, but not a litter of kittens :) You did well despite the challenge..... They are just precious....
