What Kind of Pet Would You Be?

Go figure, I would be my favorite animal! :D

You Would Be a Pet Cat

Independent and aloof, you don't like to be dependent on anyone. And as for other people, you can take them or leave them. You often don't care. You live your life by your own rules. And you have deep motivations that no one truly understands. Why you would make a great pet: You're not needy or greedy... unlike other four legged friends. Why you would make a bad pet: You're not exactly running down to greet people at the door What you would love about being a cat: Agility and freedom What you would hate about being a cat: Being treated like a dog by clueless humans

What Kind of Pet Would You Be?

Happy Halloween, and a New LO

Happy Halloween, y'all! Be safe out tonight when taking your little ones out, and have fun!

I did this Layout late last night. I can't seem to get enough of working with this wonderful kit, Brown Eyes Blue by Lauren Bavin at Digital Scrapbook Place. This lo is near and dear to my heart. Click on the LO to view it larger and to hopefully read the journaling. Then you'll see why. :)

Wow! I love this Layout!

I just had to post this layout here. This is a layout of my new kitten, Fwiend. This Layout uses a kit called Clearly Spooky by Lauren Bavin at http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com. Since I don't have any Halloween photos and I wanted to participate in her next challenge, I challenged myself to use the kit in a non-Halloween layout. I am so happy with how it came out. Hope you like it too.
