What a great idea! I trump you though...I have 8 of my own and have just been "blessed" with 3 preggies females and at least 4 toms that my neighbor moved off and left or were dumped out at my house...so YES!! I think we should be able to "share" the real ones..LOL!!!

Its fun Brooke....I have a little mouse design too that is cute...I might do it as a 3"er...if I have some time. Even if your machine is gone for 2 weeks, you'll still have time to do them for the swap...plenty of time!! :wink:

OMGoodness!!!! Your laughing kitty is hysterical!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

BTW: where are all of you getting your cute designs? I'm not at all artistic (i.e. I can't even draw a stick person!!), but I have found one block design online that I think is cute that I'm thinking of using. I searched the net for kitties, but nearly all the ones I've seen are "regular" kitties, and I want something a bit on the unusual side. Any suggestions? :?
