This week I am participating in four blog parties. They are listed below. And, I am thrilled to announce a Pet Parade Blog Party here on September 30. You are all invited to attend and link to the event. If you have a pet or just love them post a pic or project! It is in celebration of our summer-long scarf decorating project to raise money for the abandoned pets of foreclosure. Over 130 internet friends and bloggers/blogsites from 43 states participated. Now, you can help too by linking to the party and by posting photos of your pets, pet scarves, and pet craft or decorating projects. By linking to the event you will earn a $3.00 contribution from us at Design Gives Back to give to the total donation. You post and we donate on your behalf! Gee, I sure hope you can attend...and see the ferret in his scarf...the cat in his hat...and the fairy princess poodle! Can't you just imagine seeing all of your furry family members on parade? Oh, come on, hop on this ark! There will be prizes and a fantabulous GIVEAWAY! NEW UPDATE 5:23 p.m. We now have 59 links for the party...be next! That means you have earned $177.00 more!
DIY & BELIEVE! Make a Pet Angel: I made this angel from a 1950's rubber dog toy--and, yes it squeaks! His adorable goofy face just says "Smile You Moron--what's there to be down about anyway....?! I cut his angel wings from cotton gardening gloves and stuffed the fingers with cotton balls. Then, I went to the kiosk at PETCO and made a dog-tag that reads EXPECT MIRACLES! The pink frame is from Hobby Lobby as is the groovy scrapbook paper back. His halo is from the do-dad department at HL too. The cat angels- below- help me keep track of where my glasses are... do you lose yours too? The wall bracket was from an estate sale. I added marbles and cup hooks. The pair of cats are Las Vegas-vintage souveneirs and are now "eye-glass saints" with the help of doilies turned into winged gowns. Meow!
Please leave a comment here with your blog address that we are to post for the event or e-mail us by September 27th with your link address. Be sure and link back to The Katillac Shack. Feel free to post about the event so you can help earn more for the fund. Remember every link earns a $3.00 donation. Grab the party button below to use if you like!

Okay Kelee, I am having trouble getting the pet parade button - what am I doing wrong? I tried two different ways with no luck.
Let Me know!

Hi Kelee,
What a great idea, I would love to join in with our little Miss Maggie. She hasn't been feeling that great, I think having her picture on the world wide web will perk her right up!
See you then.
XO
