    I tried to leave a comment earlier but I think I did my usual trick of becoming distracted and clicking something else before it saved :). Thanks for hosting – I really enjoyed taking my cat pictures this week and it was great to have something to spur on my creativity!

      It’s my pleasure Nancy – I loved the birdhouses too! Although, I must confess, when it comes to birdhouses, I get as much joy out of watching my cats watch the birds as I do watching the birds themselves!
