Message for new readers/finders!

If you have discovered this blog by finding a piece of artwork with a label on the back, that label should also have the name of the artwork, i.e. "postcard 25" or "weathergram 62" or "Tag 86".

If you now scroll down and look on the right hand side underneath the map, there is a list of labels.... starting with "add and pass" and ending with "zazzle". If you click on the label there that matches the one on your artwork, it comes up with all the items made under that label.

Match the number with the number on the back of the artwork (it should be marked as "lost" on the blog entry) and - if you want to - leave a comment under that post saying you found it.
Next time I'm in, I'll find your comment (well, eventually!!) and reclassify the lost item as found.
Thank you!!

Love,
Beanie

We got a Christmas Tree!!

Last week, we decided to get Christmas Decorations out to decorate our apartment!!

First of all, Andrea helped us put the Tree up!! Yup, nice and sturdy, that won't fall down!

Then, Andrea helped us put Fairy Lights on the tree. She turned them on, and we made sure they worked!

While the others were decorating the tree, I helped Andrea put tinsel on her paintings

We put some round the mirror too!!

And then I put Stars on the front door! They look good there!!

After that, I went back to the tree and saw that Boo, Pookums and Comealong Stanley had put up all the decorations!! How brilliant!!

That just left the sparkly lace and ribbon to be put on, which Andrea said I could do All By Myself!!!!

Then we had to Wrap Presents.
This one is for Secret Santa at work. Andrea picked a name of one of the people she works with, and bought her a present. But we're not allowed to say who the present is from because we're being the Secret Santa!!
Oh I like Secret Santa! You get a surprise present from them!!
Humph.... this is a difficult box to wrap up....

We did it though!
Andrea says it's because I'm a Very Smart Mouse.
Am I? Oh!! I didn't know that!!
Then we wrapped up our present for Hammie!! But don't let him see what it is!!!
Not yet!!

I wrapped up another present for Hammie for when he goes on Holiday!!

And then I wrapped up something for Sullivan!

There we go! All done!
Just got to find something for Coco, maybe??!?!

We put the presents underneath our tree until it was time to post them...

Andrea turned the lights off so we could see the sparkly fairy lights!

She took another picture using the flashy thing on her camera.
You can see some of the decorations now!
That's our Christmas Tree!!
