Tomorrow is International Box Day, but as you know I’m not altogether sold on boxes. Plus, I’ll be telling you about the cool thing that came in this box then! So instead, I thought I’d put together a Throwback Thursday post featuring past International Box Days with Sparkle. I think you will enjoy seeing them again — or seeing them for the first time if you missed them!
The first IBD post, from 2011, is almost like a #TBT within a #TBT! It includes a variety of old photos of Sparkle — and Boodie! — checking out a variety of boxes. Plus, she had a pop quiz to see if anyone could guess the dates of the blog posts from when the photos first appeared. A couple of readers actually cracked my human’s blog photo filing code without too much trouble.
In case you were missing Binga in the above post, here she is from last year’s IBD post, doing what she does best. There was a linkup to that blog post, and even though Sparkle’s InLinkz account went dormant, you can still click through to see what other blogging kitties did in 2014.
Everyone’s favorite IBD from Sparkle is from 2012, when she spoofed the cult film Fight Club… with boxes! No further explanation needed.
I hope you enjoyed this boxy trip down memory lane!
Aw, it was a great trip down memory lane, so good to see Sparkle and her boxes!
Mebbe you just need better boxes?
Thanks for the throwback! It was wonderful to see Sparkle again!
Such great memories, Summer! We always love remembering our friend Sparkle. That Fight Club parody was AWESOME (we totally remember it)! 🙂
Happy International Box Day!
Sparkle and Binga looked as though they appreciated a good box 🙂 Boxes might yet grow on you Summer. You are still young 😉

Lovely pics!

Great trip down memory lane!
Thank you for posting the links! We didn’t know Sparkle, but she was a beauty. Lexy is the box cat around here. I don’t see the big deal about them.
NIce flashbacks .
We pretty much like boxes here 🙂
Purrs Georgia and Julie,
Treasure and JJ
That was a great trip down the memory lane. Our Duchess does not get excited about boxes. She prefers her soft, warm, comfy bed.
Did someone say boxes!
Where? Where?

Lovely memories ! Purrs
That was great fun seeing Sparkle in her boxes. We love seeing pictures of Sparkle again. We are glad you did this.
we miss sweet Sparkle, it is always good to see her again. Stop by our blog tomorrow. I think you will be able to relate
It was fun seeing sparkle again.it was also fun to see how close in color you and. Sparlle are. While we loved sparkle, you are the one who has stolen our hearts. Maybe it is because you are so much younger or what. But we just love you.
With this post we can say we can tell Summer from Sparkle now….finally!!!!!
We sure enjoyed that look back into the world of great boxes! We love to sit in them too:))
Summer I wasn’t too keen on boxes to begin with and then all of a sudden I WAS!
Abby was our official box checker, she demanded to have first crack at the boxes.
Mom misses that a lot.
Such great box photos. It’s so lovely to see photos of Sparkle!
Maybe you’ll acquire taste for boxes some day, Summer 🙂
I’m not that into boxes either, Summer. I prefer my paper forts.
Nice flashback and it was all new to me. 🙂
Oh man… we sure are excited about Box Day tomorrow!!! We enjoyed the trip down memory lane with Sparkle!
I love a post about boxes!
Those were fun to see pretty Summer!
You really should give boxes another try, Summer…they’re great!!! –Truffles
We don’t get excited about boxes but Mum said we were silly and managed to find a box which had a pair of boots in so that had to do. We’d sooner have had some nip!
Love Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Summer what great flashback links. I love boxes and am very excited about tomorrow
hugs madi your bfff
It is always lovely see photos of Sparkle again.
We’re not huge box fans here, except perhaps Da Beebs and right now, he is too busy sulking. Poor Da Beebs. He needs his #1 home again…
Purrs,

Memories are the best…
What great boxes! Summer, I have a secret to share with you…I don’t like boxes much either! ~Zoey
Aww…. what lovely memories. And boxes, don’t forget the lovely boxes.
Summer, you just don’t know what you’re missing with boxes. Maybe cat shows make boxes seem less exciting to you, but they’re some of the best entertainment going around here.
Maybe you learn to love boxes, Summer. It’s always nice to see pics of Sparkle.
