Roomies

This weekend Jagger and I became roommates.

My new roomie.

Even though it's still going to be quite awhile before Emerson comes home, I got the ball rolling on getting our home room ready to become her home. First step was for me to move out of my existing craft room and move my stuff into Jagger's room. We're going to turn my craft room into a play area for Em.

I guess I should clarify that Jagger didn't really have his own room. It was just a spare room that we put all his cat toys in. It was also the room we'd put him in when we had guests over who had allergies/aversions/fear of cats. Not sure if he minds sharing the room with me, but he did make the move a bit difficult at times. Gene and I would be moving furniture like my desk and shelves, and Jagger would either block our way or try to jump on the furniture. That could have been his way of telling me to stay out, haha.

Jagger had legit reasons to be less than enthusiastic.

I did move in quite a bit of stuff.

Some of Jagger's belongings were

Once I was pretty much moved into my new crafting quarters, I got to work finishing up some cards for a dear friend. She is announcing to family the very big news that she's expecting, and thought Mother's Day would be the perfect occasion to do so! She asked me to make some gender neutral cards for her mom and MIL. She also wanted to make sure she could include an ultrasound picture in them. So I went to work and these are what I came up with....!

Baby bibs! The card on the right is a two-parter.

She can pull out the inside and attach her ultrasound photo.

And of course, my new roomie tried to get into the photo shoot again. I had to take close-ups so that he wouldn't be in the shots. I finally gave in and snapped one of him as well.
