The weekend is here!!

Its not such a busy today.. thankfully! Its been a day of phone calls.. Ferdinand is now known as OGGY and Swagger is now known as PRINCE EDWARD. Both sweet names! Oggy did well last night. She said he is eating well and acting happy! He went to the vet today and got a check out for a clean bill of health. He did have some fea residue on him she said.. and I bet that damn dog brought it in. So much for that flea killer working. But they didn't find any fleas thank goodness! I haven't had any problems with fleas but its possible with a dog that runs in and out that they might get one. Just be sure to check them..I have many times but I could have missed it!

I don't have many plans till tomorrow. I have to answer some emails today and get the house picked up a lot. I don't know what we are doing tonight. Probably a bunch of nothing. We need the break! And Saturday we have a long night ahead of us with delivering a kitten to its new home.

Well husby is here.. he got some gas on him and changing clothes.. going to say hi and will be back later to talk more!

And then were NONE

Well just a few minutes ago I sold my last kitten. I don't mean the white one either... I mean the white one was first and then I was offered a great deal for Swagger and now I am kitty free. I will keep Swagger till Saturday because we are meeting them 1/2 way and that's an hour and a half drive for each of us. I have to admit, its hard selling him. I really didn't want to but a male from this litter will be hard to have in a cattery. He cant breed with his mom or sister and I would have to buy him his own female.. so I know its best - business wise -its best to let him go into another loving home. In this business of raising cats, the hardest part is not the up keep or expenses ( and they are high ) or any of that.. its saying goodbye to them. I love every kitten that comes from my home so much. My heart just keeps growing and growing. I can't tell you how much having this business and filled my life with joy. I can't think of any other job on the planet that would be better. This is where my heart is at. And my heart is spread all over North Carolina now. All over.. I will check on them from time to time so its important that I have a good relationship with the new owners. If you just bought a cat from me and reading this.. Thank you so much. Its more than my pleasure to bring these babies to world so they can love you as much you will love them. Also I have all your emails and will be letting you guys all know when we have another litter. In most cases you will get first choice if you want another one. So keep that in mind!

Scott is coming home early tonight and we are just going to lay back. I am skipping the married life post tonight and will have it up in a couple days. I want to spend time with my husband and my cats and just want to relax tonight.

I chat more later tonight before bed.

The Countdown..

WOW → December ← is here! Boy, the count down to Christmas is on!! It will be here before we know it!



I cannot stay on here and blog for very long today. I have a lady who is going to be here, around 3 to check the kitty's out. She is coming to meet Ferdinand.. and I can't wait! I know she is going to love him. I am not sure how he is going to react. But no matter what it is, it will be ok!



I got to pick up the house and get some stuff ready.. I will be back in a little while to let you guys know what happened! Keep your fingers crossed that it goes well!

Busy day..

Its been a looong day. I did a lot of shopping today. I left about 1 pm, got back about 4. Had lunch and shopped online. Waited on Scott to get home and got about 10 minutes with him before we were both back in our cars heading in different directions. I took off to Office Max and the dollar store. I got home around 930 and he rolled in about 10. Got 30 minutes with him before he was in the shower and bed. I don't particularly like long days like this. My body is not made for long days. And I miss my husband, but I am thankful I didn't waste my time today. I actually accomplished a lot.

Right now I am uploading a video that will be up before this post.. I will add a link at the bottom of this one too. If you are going to be making any of the homemade gifts I have been talking about, then you will probably want to watch it!! It will help if you want to follow along! I bought for a lot today.. Just do what you are comfortable with! The biggest expense, is the containers..and that's not much, so find nice ones!

While I was buying this jars I was in the glasses isle, and  I ended up..

buying some new glasses. Scott had been complaining that a lot of the glasses were chipped and he has been just throwing them away.. it didn't bother me.. I either use a coffee up or a plastic throw away cup. I like plastic but Scott likes glass. So does my mom. Since she is coming, I thought it would be the perfect time to get some more! 

And guess who loved the boxes!!

The boys! 

Mr. Ferdinand 

Swagger

I love his look here

Playtime!

He's so freaking cute! It looks big here but hes not that big! 

I think he looks like his daddy in so many ways. 

I love these little guys. Gosh.. how blessed am I to have been able to have such a great litter of kittens. 

Beautiful... Absolutely  Beautiful

Here is the things I got for any of you who couldn't watch the video.. Here is a very fast rundown of it all.

Little 10oz jars for the sugar scrub for $ 2.00 each at Walmart. These were in the kitchen gadgets isle. 

Half pint mason jars for spiced salts and mixes, found at Walmart for $3.95. Found in canning isle.

Big Mason Jars $ 1.00 each and I got these at that price because the box was tore up and one was broken. Might be a few $ more if you have to buy the box. I think it's $ 10.00. Found in canning isle.

Tins for cookies found at Walmart for $ 3.00 each. These were back in the garden center that has been converted to the Christmas area. 

More little plastic jar found at Every thing's a dollar.. Probably use for more sugar scrubs. 

Also got this plastic canister to see if a muffin mix will fit in it.. and if it does, I will get more. 

Cute Christmas coffee cups $ 1.00 at Every thing's a Dollar for cake in a mug. 

In the video I also talked about our Christmas cards for this year.. 

Here is what we are doing.. 

I found these at the photo counter at Walgreens for $ 5.99 - 12 cards -

I am adding the Christmas tree picture of Scott and I to the front.. With Walgreens right now, on Tuesday you can get 4 x 6 prints for $ .10 a piece!! So by Tuesday these will all be done and in the mail on Wednesday! 

I wanted to make these extra special so I went to Office Max and had a picture " rounded ", printed on sticker paper.. which took about 30 minutes.. and look what I got!!

Ha!! My beautiful Giovanni!! 

I also got this Fiskars Circle cutter..

And here is the inside the card!!

Ohhh.. and those sheets were $ 2.00 for 6 sheets.. The circle cutter was $ 10.00 and now I have the card I want!! Well, when I get our picture in it, I will!!

Got some ribbon from Walmart and Every thing's a Dollar.. 

both places it was only $1.00.. I got 6.. and will need more. 

I also picked up 10 of these bags at .75 each for the sugar scrubs. You use tissue paper too if you want to do it cheaper but you also don't have to wrap them.. A pretty bow will do it! 

Also I ordered the wood scoops that I am attaching to the sugar scrub jars HERE. They were $ 7.95 for 10. Great deal! Tie them on with a pretty ribbon and its a great gift! 

Here's the video link..

Home made gifts video!! - Supplies -

Have a a great Thursday. I have to get to bed.. I am having a lady over to check out the kittens tomorrow so I have to pick the house and get them ready! I love them and breeding and raising cats is amazing.. I get sad to see them go. I think this might just be the right house for Ferdinand. Its an older couple with no kids.. just cats. He needs a very low impact, quiet, easy going house. He is who I am worried about most. He is starting to become more confident but one set back could take months to over come. I walked in today and scared him and he ran straight under the couch! So I got him out and let him he was safe. So we will see how tomorrow goes. I turned down 4 people today on him. They had young children and I just don't feel that's the right home for him. I know many of you are reading this blog from the ad and I am sorry if I said no to you. I don't mean to offend or hurt anyone. But I know his personality better than anyone else and you wouldn't like it either. He would hide all the time. I am sure a child wouldn't like that either. All my kittens were extremely out going but he is different. He was the biggest but he was scared of his own shadow. Scott and I have worked with him as much as possible could and like I said.. he is JUST starting to become a little more confident. I am just thinking of what's best for him and also what's best for you family too. Hope you understand. Also if any of you guys like the blog, hang around!! I don't allow comments but you can always shoot me an email to 

kishajaggers@aol.com

Talk to you guys tomorrow..

Back Home.. [ also SUGAR SCRUB NOTES ]

Just saying hi!! I am finally home, done with running at I have only been here about an hour.. long enough to unpack the car, eat, and spend about 30 minutes with husby. He had that auction he had to go to so he could buy and sell more cars. I hate that he is having to do this now. But I am sure he is better at it that the dumbass who got fired. Sorry.. but that's the truth..

Anyway, I have a house full of stuff waiting for me to get it done. I will have probably a big post up before I head to bed..but it will be late. I also have a busy night cleaning wise along with tomorrow because w have a lady coming to check out Ferdinand. He is such a doll baby and I want the right family for him. I will hold out till I get it. I don't want him in a really busy house. I know his shy temperament needs to over came in the right environment. I mean, I have been around since day 1 and his just starting to really come out of his shell.. In fact, right now he is running full speed around here with his brother. It makes me smile how far he has came. He is the shy one. No others were shy.. but that big guy is!

I got a ton of supplies for the homemade gifts. I am going to go ahead and post it tonight because I want you all to be able to kinda follow along if you want. I also want you to know where I got them and what website I ordered some stuff off too. I think if you are making the sugar scrubs you need to order these. You won't have to.. and in fact, I will give you a few ideas of what to do instead if you can't order them. But they will make it look so cute! Another thing I wanted to make clear is that homemade does not mean free. While it doesn't cost much, there is an expense to it. I don't mind paying a little extra on a nice jar and ribbons because by time you are ton you are going to have a very nice looking gift for around $ 5 each. And they really are well worth more than that.. You'll see.. Don't just make them for others, try it out yourself before you ever bottle it up. Sugar scrubs tend to be a little slippery.. that's every sugar scrub. I use them all the time and in winter the oil really helps make dry skin soft and moisturized. Like I said, I will go through everything tonight with you guys..

But right now, I have to start putting things away and cleaning up a bit.

Ohhhh.. I forgot, to tell you I found a great deal on Christmas cards. More info about that tonight too. Scott is helping this year with ours! I will have them out in the mail on Tuesday!

Time to get motivated.. be back in the wee hours!

Bye.. =(

Hello friends. I hope you guys are having a great night. I am going to go kinda go back to last night.. and show you what it was like around here! 

I had let laundry go for a couple days.. never a good idea in our house but I kinda took a break and last night it was laundry night so.. look who my helpers were! 

Kitty cats were everywhere.. Yes, I still have an older washer. I just can't get rid of it like that.. Kinda a pack rat of sorts and I am loyal to something that still works. However, husby might make me give it up some time soon in the future!

Anyway.. 

Here's sweet pea.. and she is now gone.. 

Swagger and he's still here.. yea!!

OMG.. is he not the freaking cutest cat ever.. Just look at that expression!!

Ferdinand being playful - still here!!

and Gizmo playing with a laundry basket..

And now he is gone.. 

Also last night.. the kitty cats had a little special time playing for the first time in some 

catnap..

You can't give cat nip to young kittens but these guys are finally old enough to 

have some fun! 

Ferdinand was loving it! 

They were all loving it. I put it on the fireplace area and I even left it.. and some is on the carpet but it will vacuum right up tomorrow

It was well worth the mess because 

Ferdinand loved it so much ! He is a bit shy but he just had a blast. I loved watching him go from being scared of his own shadow to becoming more confident and more independent. He will make some one a very good cat. Scott loves the way he looks. 

Today when I woke up, I had calls and emails flying in. Dummy me, don't like voice mails so I leave my voice mails full but bad idea if your kittens go in the paper! I got busy and got that cleaned up after the first call.. and   I stayed on the phone all day dealing with this. I mean it was huge. I have had a turn out like this. Christmas kittys are a big hit!! 

I got all their bags

with instructions.

of course one for toys too! 

I got them all 

up.. receipts  made too. I should have been a little more organized but that will change with the next litter. Just a busy time of  year for us and I have been consumed with holiday stuff .. along with house stuff. 

I got it all boxed up along with their

ribbons... I love these little boxes.. They are small and have handles and make transporting anything super easy! 

Scott came home and we took off 

with the babies.. Here's Sweet Pea.. now known as MOCHA!! 

Here is my last picture with Sweet Pea..

and she looks so much like her mommy.. I'm going to miss her. My mom wanted her.. I should have maybe should have let her have MOCHA but she told me no!! But she did want her! 

She's got her bow on!!!

And here is my last picture with 

with my beloved Gizmo. Omg.. I am really going to miss him! Buy the way the are keeping his name Gizmo!! Its funny I am totally at 50/50 with either keeping the nick name I give and 1/2 of them have renamed them! I try to pick names that suit their personalities! Gizmo fits this little guy perfectly!!

He had a bow too! 

This is was my baby. He just melts into your arms. Sweetest little guy ever! 

We were gone from 6 till midnight. We did stop at a friends because I don't think hubby wanted to miss the end of a basketball game so we stopped for just about 30 minutes. I was exhausted and really wanted to get home, feed the cats and get in the bath.. and that's exactly what happened. The water so hot and comforting in my bath that I stayed in there for nearly 45 minutes. It felt amazing. 

Since.. I have emailed a friend, responded to some emails I received about the other two.. cleaned up the kitchen, really fast..tossed laundry around and here I am at 246 am exhausted and heading to bed really soon. If tomorrow is anything like today, I have a busy day. I took calls all day, along with sending emails but tomorrow.. calls and emails are fine but I have errands to run no matter what. I can limit them but I still have to get a few done before anything else. And I won't be out of bed early either. I will try to be up by noon.. and that alone will help. It will take a hour or so to get ready and then hopefully I can get it all done in an hour or so or maybe two. 

I hope the kittens are doing well. I know it must be scary to be in a new home but I know they will be loved. I mean how can you not love them? I got some pictures after we got home and they look settled. I will post them sometime soon. They are on my phone and I don't feel like uploading them right now. I am just wore out.. 

I hope you guys have a great Wednesday. Here's some inspiration for you. 

I am so grateful for being blessed to have such beautiful kittens, enjoying all the love and happiness and now passing it on.. and they are passing it on. One of the kittens is going to a woman's brother. He lost his, and she is passing it on. Its love.. and nothing is better than that. 

Also.. thank you baby for driving so much and doing all kinds of kitty cat duties for us tonight! I know you were tired and I appreciate it. I love you..

Its bitter sweet you guys. I haven't cried but come close a couple of times. I have to keep telling myself that this is NOT the last litter or last kitten that will come my way. Nope.. I'm just getting started!! 

Sweet Dreams!
