Hey there Cat! Your art demo at a school career day was so what we, as artists, need to offer to young children. I believe we need to spread the word that myriad lifetime careers in art are more than possible. You go girl :)

Hello Cat.....I am trying to leave a comment in AOL and Google Chrome but don't think I am being successful. I will try one more time. What a beautiful gift to give to the world (one of us)one of your pendants. I love your house pendants too and the entire concept behind their development. I am afraid of the torch without being in person with you in a class but if you are near to where I ever am I will be there. Thank you Gail for also being a beautiful person to host the give away. I hope I win a pendant. HUGS! Sojna

Hi Cat,

I found out about your blog through Gail's Paper Whimsy Newsletter! I have liked her fb page through my Claudia Mora Castro account. I enjoyed paperwhimsy collage sheets very much and have created some pretty soldered jewelry with them in the past.

I think it was awesome that you had the opportunity to participate with career day at your kid school.

I would love to participate in the giveaway too!

Thank you
Claudia

Cat, I always enjoy stopping by to see what you are up to. And you are ALWAYS up to something new and wonderful! Way to go speaking to the kids on Career Day! I wish I weren't so gosh darn shy or I'd love to share what I do with a classroom full of kids! I know you inspired every one.
Your Mother's Day gift is perfect. Nothing like a swing to feel like a kid and to give you reason to stop and simply enjoy. And oh those baby birds - so cute!!
