fun new things i've picked up recently ~

including these mental health awareness pins that i relate to as an ocd ruminator ~

so, halloween is coming! ~

i always love blue q & shutterfly ~

best tabbies ever.. i also picked up some milkweed seeds to plant once i can to help attract & assist endangered monarch butterflies ~

i've been camping out downstairs in our dark playroom where i usually paint or work on mini houses (while my room is recarpeted) & this new nitelite from shutterfly i made has my special kitty, snug, taken from the end of one of my old halloween youtubes ~

psyche, my sweet sister, we are soul sisters & although she may be invisible, my cheshire kitty is still smiling down at me, helping me through difficult nights <3 ~
