Welcome Back, Carole!

This has been a really terrific month for The Cat's Pajamas. There are so many exciting things in the works, I've been just bursting with news. Most of which I can't say anything about. Just. Yet. ;)

One of the MOST exciting things that I CAN tell you about is the return of one of The Cat's Pajamas beloved Cat Packers.
Carole Burrage.

Carole has been a talented Designer, a Creative Director, a Copyrighter, a Muse and a great friend to The Cat's Pajamas off and on for several years now. Right now, I am happy to say she is back on.

The gal's a spark plug. A firecracker. And live wire. You never know what is going to come out of her mouth. Or her head.

I, personally, can't wait. Carole Burrage. Welcome back to the pack.

Our little girl is growing up so fast.

Our little Joanne is turning 500. 500 thousand, that is. That's right. The counter on Joanne's Blog, "...just a little something..." will be turning 500,000. Soon.

And she's celebrating! And giving away stuff. And not just any stuff. Gift Certificates from The Cat's Pajamas AND My Favorite Things. But she's not just giving it away without a challenge! No! Not our little Joanne. She's making you work for it.

She's doing a "Sketch Plus Three" Challenge. You have until 9:30 AM EST on May 31st to enter. Check her out. I'm so proud. **sniff, sniff**

Changes

There have been a couple of changes in the world that it The Cat's Pajamas.

I am happy to announce that Amy Rohl will be joining our humble little pack. Remember Amy? She was our Special Guest Designer last month. The one that I spewed wonderful things about? I couldn't resist asking her to join after seeing her awesome designs.

Welcome Amy!

Gayle Smith

After many wonderful years, Gayle Smith is resigning from the Cat Pack.

She has a lot of things brewing in her life and we know that soon, we will see her everywhere. Whether we want to or not.

I'll miss Gayle. She's been my friend, sounding board, and most importantly, my SU demo for years. And I know that will continue into the future.

I wish her all the best.

Sharing

I'm just getting ready to dump...er um...bring all my receipts to the bookeeper, so I just thought I'd post this really cute card that Jen did and gave me at the Arlington Shoebox Swap.

If this card doesn't want to make you jump in the pool, I don't know what will.

I never have gotten into the whole dewdrops/baubles thing. But when I saw these and actually got to use them I had to go out and buy me a bunch. And then Tracy presented me with a whole boxload. I love to be up on the latest craze.
