This is Fun Friday and I wanted to share a few things we enjoy. Sometimes making things yourself is lots of fun. Especially when you have six curious cats to assist you.
Fun #1. Check out the selection of free Holiday things to make offered by The Toymaker herself, Marilyn Scott-Waters. Most holidays are covered and this is just a small portion of a website packed with things to do.
These graphics are from her Christmas section. The design above is part of a gift tag. Below is a pattern to print and assemble into a peppermint cane gift bag. I made a few of these and put wrapped candies in them. They work wonders as an inexpensive way to brighten a shut-in neighbors day!
Most of the items are in a PDF file so you will need Adobe Acrobat (a free download) to read and print the files.
Marilyn has a neat book, The Toymaker: Paper Toys That You Can Make Yourself.
Fun #2. To scent your home with a spicy orange fragrance, take thin slices of orange peel (you can use a veggie peeler) pierced with cloves, spread on a cookie sheet and place in a warm oven (not hot) until dried. Turn off the oven and they will continue to scent the house.
Since I have severe allergies to chemicals, using a synthetic fragrance is not an option. This is completely natural and also inexpensive. Of course, baking pies and cookies also makes a house smell good!

Check out the updates on Charlie's Catster and Bear's Dogster pages.
I added my Christmas Memory Ornaments from Zoolatry... be sure and request those if you haven't already.
This beautiful pendant and earring set from the Hotties will be auctioned to help Fiona. She has serious gum and tooth problems that require expensive surgery. The only alternative to the surgery would be to have her euthanized.
Bidding will take place on the Furriends of the CB blog.
Fiona could use some purrs, she will be at the vets today for pre-surgery tests.
KC and I want to know if you have some fun Holiday traditions. Post them on Fun Friday and let everyone know.
