Waffles Wednesday: Pimp My WHAT???

WAFFLES:  Hello, ladies!  The Waff's got a new wagon. Wanna take a ride?

KATIE:  Waffles! What on earth are you doing? This is a family blog!

WAFFLES:  But Boss, Glogirly said we're going to primp some blog headers. You know, make them fancy and stuff. And she wanted ME to announce it on Waffles Wednesday.

KATIE:  Primp?  You look more like a P-I-M-P.

WAFFLES:  BOSS! Glogirly says I'm too young to use that word! It's got four letters and everything.

KATIE:  Settle down, Waffles. Despite your crazy get-up, it's not that kind of pimp. 

Pimp My Blog Header

Some of the most fun holidays of the year are right around the corner and we've got just the special flair you've been dreaming of. Whether you're looking for a santa hats and snowflakes or jack-o'-lanterns and candy corn, we can help. 

And if you want a whole new 'do? ...well we can do that too.

Just email Glogirly for details: glogirl@visi.com.

Send In The Cat Clones

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss! What are THOSE??

KATIE:  What, you mean the neighbor's dogs?

WAFFLES:  They look exactly like each other! How can they tell themselves apart? How do they remember their names? What if... what if they're CLOWNS???

KATIE:  You mean, clones?

WAFFLES:  That's what I said. Clowns. 

KATIE:  Clones, Waffles. Clones. Besides, there's no such thing as clones. 

WAFFLES:  Are you sure? I think I read it somewhere. 

KATIE:  Waffles, you can't read. Remember?

WAFFLES:  Oh yeah. But Boss, what if WE'RE clones???

KATIE:  Waffles, I don't know what scares me more. Clones, clowns or YOU.

Sunday Coming Home WOW

Hi everybuddy, Waffles here!

Oh my COD!!! We just won TOO, um I mean 2, presto-neato Nose-to-Nose Awards at the BlogPaws Pet Blogging & Social Media Conference!  Can you believe it?!? I can't WAIT to tell the Boss!

We won awards for Best Cat Blog AND Best Blog Design! Don't tell the Boss that I got to sniff the trophies before her though.

Me and Glogirly want to thank YOU so very much for coming to laugh with us everyday. It's because of you and your nominations that we were even considered for these special awards. And you know what? We have the best friends and readers EVER. Me, Glogirly AND the Boss love you more than you know.

I'm flying home to the Townhouse this morning on my second-ever flight! I can't wait to show the TSA guys my, um... I mean our trophies. We promise to share more fun stuff about my trip and the conference just as soon as we're home.

More CATBELL

Hi everybuddy, Waffles here.

Since the Boss horned in on my Waffles Wednesday post about treats yesterday, Glogirly said today is MINE. All mine. Well sort of mine. 

We're all getting ready for BlogPaws, the big pet blogging and social media conference. It's just a couple weeks away and GLOGIRLY DESIGN is in full swing with preparations. I'm an excellent helper on account of my natural ability to give Glogirly headbonks while she's working on her computer. 

To help spread the word about our design stuff, Glogirly is bringing eleventy-billion of these pawsome CATBELLS to the conference. All the cool cats (and dogs) will be ringing them at the awards presentation. Last year they made so much noise, even the Westminster-Dog-Guy-Emcee was running for cover.

Book Covers! 
Makeovers!
Biz Cards!  
OH MY!

Glogirly has also been giving makeovers to blogs and busy cards... I mean biz-ness cards. Facebook profiles and Twitter too. Stickers and postcards and books and media cats... um, I mean media kits.

The Boss and I are just glad she's remembering our breakfast and dinner everyday.

We thought you might enjoy seeing just a few of the things she's been working on lately. WARNING - there may be some images of DOGS ahead. But they're smart dogs. They had to be smart to hire us cats.

Oh, and there's even a VET!!! She lives in Australia though, so she didn't even need to wear those big protective gloves when we were helping her.

NO CATS???
NO DOGS???
WHA-WHAT???

I bet you didn't know that not EVERYthing Glogirly does has a cat or a dog on it. Sometimes she even designs people stuff.

My stepbrother, Gabe, is getting married soon so GLOGIRLY DESIGN came to the rescue. Gloman took the photos and Glogirly did the design work.

I still think they should have chosen the picture of ME when I was photobombing the happy couple...

Edgar's Attic Has a Brand New Playhouse – Celebrate With a Special GLOGIRLY Discount!

Hi every buddy, Waffles here!

How do you like my pancake with syrup? It's filled with some of the finest catnip around and it's DELICIOUS!  It's from our friends at Edgar's Attic. The Boss and I wrote about them a few months ago and they were so impurr-essed with us that they hired GLOGIRLY DESIGN to give them a Brand Makeover.

Edgar's Attic creates beautifully handmade felt cat toys, fills them with catnip, and finished them off with a sprinkle of whimsy. Ninja's, mustaches, pancakes....even sock monkeys. These sweet toys are filled with smiles.

Edgar is the kitty and inspiration behind Debra Hussey's adorable Etsy Shop. Although he has his angel wings, he continues to look over and inspire Edgar's Attic & Playhouse. 

LOOKEE!  The Boss isn't the ONLY kitty in the Townhouse with a mustache!

In addition to a new logo and fresh face for their Etsy shop, Edgar's Attic has a brand new look for their Facebook page too! We'd be ever so grateful if you'd stop over to like them and say hello from us! Like Edgar's Attic on Facebook HERE.

To celebrate their new look, Edgar's Attic is offering a special 20% DISCOUNT on all orders from their Etsy shop through March 20, 2014! ...you could have a nice pancake of your very own. Maybe with a side of bacon & eggs!  (yes, there's a bacon & eggs toy!)

All of the toys are reasonably priced between $5 and $10. Just visit Edgar's Playhouse on ETSY and use promo code GLOGIRLY20. 

Are you itching for a new design?

GLOGIRLY Black Friday Winners & Their Wares

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Last week when we announced the two lucky winners of our Black Friday Giveaway,  many of you were curious to see how their prizes turned out. We aim to please.

The winners had their choice of a number of GLOGIRLY DESIGN prizes – Everything from blog headers to social media buttons to Facebook profiles and custom holiday cards.

Well the winners spoke and we got busy!




Winner #1
Our cat fellow blogger and friend Flynn, from Eric & Flynn's Adventures, chose a custom holiday greeting that he'd be able to use on his blog and email to special friends. Flynn sent us a few handsome photos of himself to choose from and had just a few special requests:
●  Traditional colours (he's so international!)
●  'Seasons Greetings' & 'Flynn'
●  A tree & gift package

The rest was up to us! We love the photos that Flynn posts of his outdoor adventures. We wanted that kind of style reflected in his card.

Ta Da!
We gave Flynn two versions. One with a paper background and one with a transparent background.

Winner #2
Our next winner is Vicat. She's one of our special cat-loving Facebook friends. Glogirly says she has a sense of humor that's almost as dry as mine. Well I suppose that's better than wet.

Vicat also chose a custom holiday greeting. And since she's a diehard GLOGIRLY fan, she wanted her card to feature yours truly. Oh, and the orange menace. I'll try not to hold that last part against her.

And I'll try not to hold the fact that I'm wearing a box top on my head against Glogirly. But it was worth it. You should hear Waffles meow with that nose on him.

Congratulations to Flynn & Vicat! And thank you so much to EVERYONE who entered. Please be on the lookout for a special line up of December giveaways coming your way soon. It's going to be a fun holiday season!

If you don't want to miss a single giveaway, just sign up for our email updates. We send one out every time we publish a new blog post. And spam? Well that's just salty meat in a can to us. We won't share your email and we won't bother you either.

Santa Cat Hats & Holiday Icing

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Now stop your groaning...Halloween has come and gone, so that means it's safe to start talking about santa hats and holiday icing. Especially the virtual kind.

Our friends Melissa & Truffles from Melissa's Mochas, Mysteries & More came to us recently for some holiday icing for their blog and Facebook Page. Earlier this year, we did a very fun makeover for them so we were naturally super excited to add some holiday cheer.

Melissa gave us some great ideas. She wanted a santa had for sure, some plum pudding, a candy cane and a gingerbread man. Glogirly designed some fun holiday icing to compliment their blog header and color palette.

That's why we call it *icing.* The cake is still the same. It's just got a little sweet stuff on top. And who doesn't like icing?!?

Here's Melissa's new holiday blog header.

And here's what it looks like on her blog. We also made her some fun social media buttons, a custom Bloglovin' button and a cool profile disc for Truffles. 

Facebook is always more fun with holiday icing too. So, who's ready for some plum pudding???

If you'd like some holiday icing of your own, just shoot Glogirly an email. 

She'd be happy to send you a quote and help you get into the holiday spirit.

Catlady Fun At The CWA

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Glogirly finally found her way home from the Cat Writers' Association conference. She was quick to unpack the Muse Medallion awards she received for best color photography series and best black & white series. I question the sense of awarding HER the medallions for photos that clearly featured ME. ...and a couple of Waffles.

(If you're curious, you can check out the winning photos HERE & HERE.)

Those medallions are awfully big and heavy too. Not exactly cat-friendly. I can barely bat them around the townhouse.

And considering she STOLE my mouse for her so-called Halloween costume, I have nothing to bat around here except a certain orange ...ok, not such a bad idea after all.

Glogirly had a great time hanging with all the cat ladies. There were lots of laughs, lots of cat ears and even MORE awards. Big congratulations to our friends Angie Bailey of Catladyland, JaneA Kelley from Paws & Effect and Cat Wisdom 101's Layla Morgan Wilde for their Muse Medallion wins. And a special congratulations to Deb Barnes of Zee & Zoey for winning Friskies' Writer of the Year Award!

Glogirly's favorite part was rooming with Maxwell, FaRADay & Allie's mother from A Tonk's Tail. They stayed up late, painting their nails, talking about boyz and comparing wand toy stories.

Another exciting part of the conference was the unveiling of the new CWA logo that Glogirly had a hand in designing. She did the t-shirts and conference program covers too.

So Glogirly claims to have some special kitty swag for us in a bag that has yet to be unpacked.  Waffles and I are hopeful that she'll crack it open later sometime today. If not, we may have to resort to a joint covert operation.

Thank you so much to our friends & readers for so kindly visiting us while the girl's been away. We hope to catch up on our visiting and commenting very soon!

Sunday Winners!

Hi everyone, Katie here.

It seems like 50 years ago that we had our Happy Birthday Giveaway. ...oh wait, it was just a few DAYS ago.
GLOGIRLY is the one that's 50. (gasp!)

Ok, Waffles.  Drum roll please.

WAFFLES: Um, Boss? Can I stop rolling yet?

KATIE:  Uh, no. It's an animated .gif so you're just going to keep drumming and drumming. 

WAFFLES:  *sigh* I'm gonna need a snack, Boss.

KATIE:  Congratulations to our two lucky winners!
