On a Whimsy & A Siamese Birthday




Hello fabulous bloggers!
I'm starting this post with needing to let you all know that I have been a very bad blogger and a horrific DT member lately :( :( I have a few more cards to share with you all today; and these are cards that should have been posted on here a couple of weeks ago :( The first card, I had honestly thought I had posted on here, but was very upset to find out I hadn't done it at all. While there is no worthy excuse for this, the only thing I can think of is the fact that I honestly don't look at my actual blog too often. I typically log on to blogger right on the home page where it shows the list of all the blogs I am part of. If I have zero pending comments, I don't even click on my blog at all. With no pending comments, I assumed my cards just weren't 'up to snuff'.
I am going to have to change the way I am doing things, definitely!

Well, onto the cards I have to share with you. First one up is:

  1. Just catching up with your Siamese kitten card. It's beautiful and I love the way you've managed to get one snuggling the other - that's just what my two cats do. Hazel x
