WOYWW & WW: Legend Turns Four!

Legend Turns Four
Last week, Legend, my larger-than-life cat, turned four! To celebrate the joy he’s brought us, I thought it would be fun to revisit some of his most glorious moments at Create With Joy – so join me in wishing Legend a Very Happy Birthday in this special edition of Wordless Wednesday and What’s On Your Workspace Wednesday (WOYWW!)

Legend At 6 Weeks - More Kitten Pictures Here
How Could I Not Fall In Love?
Legend is a native New Yorker who was destined for fame as a CFA show cat when I fell in love. After months of pleading and cajoling with his owner, I convinced her that his true destiny lie with us.

Legend's Debut
Legend's debut at Create With Joy was on January 10th, 2010 at WOYWW. In true Legend fashion, he sprawled across my desk and whatever I was making that day. It didn’t take him long to figure out that no matter what I was doing, all he had to do was trill, chirp, and look adorable and soon, he'd be the center of attention!

Legend is the quintessential curious cat - famed for his ability to get into everything! Which of his antics is your favorite?

 
 
 
 


Thank you, Legend, for all of the joy you've brought us! May you live a long and pampered life!

For More Fun

    Hello you! Long time no see (so to speak). How I have missed getting my fix of those handsome boys. I cannot believe Legend is four - it doesn't seem that long ago since you were showing us baby photos on his birthday last year, but were did that year go!?!?!?!

    Hope you are well yourself - would be good to hear from you and how you are.

    take care, big hugs
