Swagalicious Cat Bag!

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss! Check it out! I think this is Glogirly's swag bag from the conference cat!

KATIE:  You mean from the Cat Writer's Conference. I'm pretty sure she said to wait until she was ready. 

WAFFLES: Um, Glogirly? Um, so are you ready? To open the bag? You know, the bag with the swag?

L-R: Nip Nibblers, Sticky Paws, Twice Mice

KATIE:  This has got to be the best swag bag we've EVER received. Tons of cool stuff. DEFINITELY worth the trip! More treats and toys than I– I mean Waffles can count.  

WAFFLES:  Yeah Boss, and almost all the toys came in twos! One for me and one for –

KATIE:  Yeah Waffles. NONE for me and TWO for you.

WAFFLES:  That's what I SAID! One for ME and one for... me.

KATIE:  *sigh*  And I suppose it's no coincidence that the cat on the Sticky Paws package looks just a little too familiar???

WAFFLES:  MY favorites are the Nip Nibbler Stix and the Twice Mice! 

KATIE:  Of course they are.  That's because we got TWO. 

WAFFLES:  Actually we got three nip nibblers. I already nibblered one.

KATIE:  Well mitts off this mouse. His tail is MINE. Go play with your ball.

WAFFLES:  Just because you're scared of balls –

KATIE:  I'm NOT scared of balls, Waffles.

We want to thank all of the generous sponsors of the Cat Writers' Association Conference for the wonderful swag they donated to all of us. And we want to thank Glogirly for finding enough room in her suitcase to bring it all home.

WAFFLES:  I hope she didn't have to leave any shoes or underwear behind!

Hi everyone, Katie here.

From graphic design prizes to actual swag, this is a giveaway extravaganza you DON'T want to miss. In fact, if you slept through yesterday, you can still go BACK and enter to win Monday's fabulous prize.

Today's Tote Giveaway
If your human was lucky enough to make it BlogPaws this year, they couldn't miss Glogirly and her signature pink tote!  To say it's A-DOOR-ABLE...is an understatement. In fact Glogirly loved it so much, that she ordered an extra just for this giveaway.

It's made from a heavy-duty natural colored canvas with my signature pink trim. It's very generously sized and has two interior pockets and one on the outside. It's very stiff and holds its shape beautifully. And the best part?  My ears and GLOGIRLY.com are printed in jet black for all the world to see.

But WAIT! There's MORE! You'll also receive an equally cool GLOGIRLY.com pink pen.  Don't let your human leave THIS one at the bank.

So what do you think?  Don't you just love it!  Okay, here's the skinny...

Pre BlogPaws

Hi everyone, Flat Katie Here.

Glogirly and I have been hard at work preparing for the big trip to BlogPaws this week. The real Katie is not much of a conference cat. Not real keen on road trips either. So Glogirly is bringing me, Flat Katie.  I'm Katie's stunt double, ready to take one for the team. Dogs, ferrets, birds, smelly humans, loud noises...bring 'em on!

There's going to be lots of fun swag at BlogPaws. Even so, we're coming with our OWN swag! Look at the cool things we 're packing!

Our super-savvy business cards came from SmartPress.com. We designed them ourselves and placed the order online.  It couldn't have been easier.  Lots of paper stock and finish options, great customer service and very reasonable prices. We LOVE them.  Pretty soon Glogirly and I will be launching an online design business. So if you need design help with your own, we'll be here for you!

And see that funky black and white square code?  It's called a QR code. People can scan it with their smart phones and be instantly teleported over to our contact page. We generated the code online at Kawya and just worked it into the business card design.  We made sure that our CONTACT PAGE was updated with our email and follow buttons for Facebook, Twitter, Blogger & YouTube. We even added in a fun photo and a little somethin-somethin about us and our blog. It's like an online business card. Great for someone who maybe has never visited our blog before.

Even though Glogirly is pretty sure there will be pens galore at BlogPaws, she wanted to have something fun for a few of her catty furiends. (ok, maybe a couple dogs too.)  We got them from Discount Mugs.  We used their design template and it was super easy to make them look oh-so-Glogirly!

Glogirly's iPhone is always in hand. We thought it was time to Glogirlize it.  A snappy pink bumper, a cool wristlet case and of course a photo of ME. (and her) Staying in touch was never so stylish.

Oh and one last thing...check out this cool bag we designed on CafePress! This is for my swag. Well, at least SOME of my swag. Glogirly's got a whole extra suitcase for the big stuff. heh heh
