What a tender, sweet and sad story, at the end. I'm glad you gave Mac so much love. I'm positive he misses you also. I'm so happy that you scrapped these beautiful photos. A marvelous tribute to your gorgeous kitty! Marvelous layout!
So hard to leave pets behind. Sounds like our cat growing up, would stay just close enough to know that he loved us but RARELY did we get a moment of cuddling and purring, so we cherished them when we did! Love the birds on this lo, like they are teasing him!
I really enjoyed reading the story behind this page. Mac was one lovely cat & he defintely enjoyed your company if he'd turn his motor on when he was with you! :-) Such a tender page...lovely work!
I love the addition of the birds on the page to honour Mac's past time! I am so glad someone took him for you. I have to put my beautiful Topaz down in the next 2 weeks as he is now very sick.
Paper: DCWV - Linen Closet, Recollections, Stampin' Up, and I've forgotten who the black pin striped paper is by... Tag: K&Co. Ink: Stampin' Up - Basic Brown Cricut Cart: Home Decor
After inking all the papers and matting the photos it took a little while to decide how I wanted to arrange everything. I did a rough draft for my journaling and I knew I'd need a pretty big place for it, but I really wanted a hidden journal tag - so the large K&Co. tag came in handy to make a pocket for the actual journal spot. I'm entering this in the Monochrome challenge and the twist is to use birds on the page which was perfect for this because one of Mac's favorite things to do was to sit in the window and chitter when he'd see the birds outside. (The caption under his big photo pretty much says that.)
Journaling: One day the local animal shelter was having a pet adoption day at the mall. They had this tiny grey tabby and I fell in love with him instantly. Having had cats before I knew that they are an independent species, but Mac seemed almost anti-social. He didn't like to be held or sit on laps and he rarely interacted with anyone. He always seemed to have a displeased look about him. But every once in a while he would sit by me and let me pet him and he'd purr very loudly. He was such an unusual and unique character, I cherished every tender time we spent together. When I had to move I couldn't take him with me so a friend took ownership of him. It broke my heart to leave him behind. I miss him so very much.
