Big HM talked to her this morning and she was amazingly alert and ‘up’. She must have a cat’s constitution. At this rate, she’ll be chasing birdies in no time!
While Big HM was sleeping, I took the opportunity to make this card for my party. Other than the wonderful likeness of yours truly, everything was available in her stuff. Below is the front of the card and below that is the inside.
For the inside, again, everything was available but the stick is actually part of Father Christmas’ staff with the old guy blocked out. Clever, eh? The background is computer generated but if I could get a similar paper; that would have been fine too. I had to alter one stamp but hopefully you won’t notice … it turns out her ‘sayings’ are limited and not ‘cat-worthy’. I see from previous cards that ‘embellishments are important, but you know what? No mousie brads or anything! I asked Big HM to go out and get a real mousie to nail to the front but he just looked at me and said he’d get breakfast soon … what a goof! I even brought him one of my toy mousies to give him the idea but he just ignored me and went to make coffee. Sometimes, living with HMs can be sooooo frustrating! So, my card will be without embellishments but I hope you don’t think less of me.

So glad to hear that Barb is doing well! My thoughts and prayers are still with her! I hope she has a speedy recover! Spending a big HUG to her!
You make me giggle! Thanks for the laughs!
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
Keep these updates coming!
Hank,
Jennifer sends her biggest hugs to Barb(in case you want to know, we are told that it feels as good as a really good head skritch)and that she is really, REALLY happy that Barb is feeling up today! She IS wonderwoman!
But Hank, Hank, Hank! Come on my friend. You are putting us felines to shame with your expert cardmaking. However, we do admire a kitty who can throw a good party AND thinks of the nailing of said mouse to embellish a card. You are one very cool cat!
Purrs from your pals,
Tango, Merlin and Renoir. Oh and 'Bella and Gabe send one of their tail wags. Their tails make great batting practice for us.
wow, Hank..awesome card!
keep the updates coming!

Hey, Hank,
I tried to get my 2 kitties to send you a quick message, but they don't really have much computer savvy...so their human will take over those activities...they do send their regards, and they are envious that you are able to type...and make cards...(how did that happen?)
So happy to hear that Barb/Little HM is doing well. Send her big HUGS from Joanie....
(and here's a headscratch for you)
Joanie
thanks for the updates, grampastamper! tell barb shuggy and her cute mom send their wishes!!!
Hank, so glad for the update.Glad your Big HM is doing so well. While I was reading this I was laughing so hard that Nip had to see what was going on. He called ODO and Snuggles to check it out. All three of them wish they lived closer so they could come to your party. Looks like it's going to be a blast. Maybe you could do a virtual party so everyone could join in, or maybe set up a web cam. Those cats of mine just love to party.
I am so very glad that Barb is doing well and that the sugery was a success! You are too funny and very sweet for posting for her while she is gone!!! Please give her big hugs and well wishes!
*STAMPIN HUGS* Alex

Hello Hank. Thanks again for the update. Big HM sounds like he is holding down the fort ok with Little HM gone. Am I allowed to bring my 2 dogs to the party? They are both springer spaniels and I cannot promise they will behave but I can try to make them. Please tell Barb we miss her already and to get those knees working real soon! Sherri
Good evening Hank. Great invite. Should all of us Shackies be expecting to receive one?
Please let LM know that we miss her and are sending positive thoughts for a speedy recovery. Beware - she could recover more quickly than expected and crash your party!
Teresa
