WOYWW & WW: If The Box Fits…

Not Every Box In The Paper Palace Is Filled With Art Supplies
Quote Of The Week
A cat has absolute emotional honesty:
human beings, for one reason or another,
may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.
Ernest Hemingway

Hi Everyone, have you missed me? It feels like I’ve been sidelined for way too long, so today, I, Legend, am taking over the keyboard and sharing yet another behind-the-scenes story from The Paper Palace!

When I was a young lad, Mom created a special toy box for me. She read in some kitty parenting book that instead of giving me all of my toys at once, she should give me a different toy each day to extend my interest in each one, so she created this toy box to store my toy collection in.

Whenever she thinks I’m bored – or about to do something she doesn’t want me to do, like eat her scrapping supplies – she pulls out the toy box and lets me hunt for the toy of my choice to play with.

If this sounds like an idea you would like to implement in your household, look closely at the picture to see just what I think of this idea!

As you may have gathered from my expression – I am not a fan of this concept! I know the difference between an old toy and a new one. I am the cat! I do not like being toyed with.
 
So, I have invented a little game of my own. I pull out all of my toys from the box – including the messy catnip – scatter them around the room – squeeze myself into the undersized box – then watch Mom clean up the mess I made. Naughty, I know – but some days, that’s just how I feel!

Is This What’s In Your Scrapping Cart?

Now that I’ve gotten that off of my chest – I am going to find an out-of-the-way spot to nap since Mom is not such a fan of these tell-alls. Think I can pin it on Tsunami?

Until next time… Happy What’s On Your Workspace Wednesday!

    Well Legend I bet it will take you twice as long getting out of the box if you don't bust all the seams out first! Better go on a diet if you plan to keep this pratice up less you ruin your mother's good boxes.
    I heard you prefer nice warm pizza's boxes to take a nap on as they also have such wonderful aroma coming from them etc. What did you say " Stop telling tales out of school on me" as I have my image to uphold!
