Pencils, Parties & PetSmart...Oh My! #CaturdayArt

Meows from Mudpie!

I've got a few things to get to this week but I'll start with my Caturday Art project. I created it by applying SuperPhoto's pencil drawing effect to one of Mommy's new favorite pictures of me.

I had to remind Mommy that we hadn't showed you our Cat Sticker Club sticker yet this month. Have you joined yet? For only $3.50 per month you'll receive a pawsome cat sticker delivered to your mailbox, and they donate 10% of their profits to cat charities, shelters & rescues! We're so honored that they're our blog sponsor.

You might be wondering why Grumpy Cat is partying...we'll tell you on Tuesday!

And last but not least, our weekly answers for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and McGuffy's Reader!

Mommy's answers: 

1. The first thing I think about in the morning is how much I wish I could snuggle in bed with Mudpie awhile longer.

2. The last thing I think about before sleep is what I need to get done the next day.

Mudpie's answers:

3. I am looking forward to enjoying warm weather window whiffies if spring ever decides to make an appearance.

4. I am so pleased Mommy was able to stock up on my favorite Pro Plan lamb treats when she went to PetSmart this week. They've become nearly impossible to find!

Many thanks to the Cat Sticker Club for sending us this pawsome sticker! 

Unboxing January's Subscriptions

The theme of January's CatLadyBox was "Cozy & Comfy"...in other words, tailor-made for me!

Featured Cat Lady Artist: Peggy Johnson of "everygoodcolor" loves painting custom pet portraits from photos. Get 15% off her paintings in her Etsy shop using the code KITTYLOVE.

Cat Lady Squad Cat Ears Hoodie (CatLadyBox exclusive): Given the response on social media, this hoodie seemed to be the biggest CatLadyBox home run yet! It's super warm and cozy, and how adorable are the cat ears on the hood???

Fuzzy Cat Socks: In the winter if my feet are cold, I'm cold, so I pretty much wear socks 24/7. These cat socks make a statement from the ears on top to the paw prints on the bottom.

Kitty Cat Hair Pins (CatLadyBox exclusive): Static electricity got you looking like the Bride of Frankenstein this winter? These cute hair pins are just what you need!

Meowcha Latte and Soft Kitty Catnip Toys (CatLadyBox exclusive): To be perfectly honest, I had a hard time handing these over to Mudpie to play with...they are SO STINKIN' CUTE!!! I may just sneak them out of her toy box and add them to my stuffie collection some day when she's taking a nap...

Unboxing December's Subscriptions

The theme of December's CatLadyBox was "Meowy Holidays"...this is what was inside!

Featured Cat Lady Artist: Amber Alexander from my home state of Vermont. This piece of art is titled "Snow Kitten". It's story: "Kitty has fashioned a plump Snow Kitten out of the first good sticky snow of the season. Her best friend, Nut, helps with details like finding pebbles for the nose and eyes. Mama cat has unknowingly donated her winter scarf to the cause as well."

Feline Lux Cat Clutch (CatLadyBox exclusive): Stylish, vegan-friendly clutch/wristlet/cross-body bag. Purrfect for a night on the town!

Soft Kitty Winter Gloves (Custom for CatLadyBox): Taupe color matches the lining of the clutch bag for the ultimate in coordinated cat lady chic. These gloves are so warm and cozy, and they feature touch pads for easy cell phone use.

Amber Silver Cat Ring (CatLadyBox exclusive): The amber stone symbolizes the love and tenderness we feel for our cats. The front of the ring is a little cat face and the size adjuster is cat paws wrapping around the back.

Floppy Elf and Champagne Cheer Catnip Toys (CatLadyBox exclusives): Not surprisingly, Mudpie adores the elf's dangly legs and the champagne bottle's ribbons :)

I couldn't help myself...I got sucked into another cat-related subscription box, The Meow-gical Box. Lately I've become obsessed with "smalls" like cat stickers, pins and stamps, things that help me feed my cat addition while taking up hardly any room!

I missed out on the October and November boxes but signed up for the December box on the day it was announced. Cuteness overload!!! (I love every single piece by my favorite is the cat face wreath!)

And now our latest sticker from the Cat Sticker Club, of which we're honorary members!

Are you a fan of subscription boxes too?
