The #NipClub Holiday Bazaar was awesome! If you were there, you know, but if you weren’t, you missed the opportunity to hang out with friends and shop at some really great stores! But it’s not too late. There’s still lots of time to do holiday shopping, and I think you will get many gift ideas by browsing through the vendors at the NipClub blog post. You’ll find gifts for your cats, pretty jewelry, great art and more!
The good news is I sold some calendars! The not-so-great news is that they were all bought on Zazzle, which means I still have 11 calendars here that I need to sell! So if you are still thinking of buying one (or more!), please get them here!
I also have copies of my second, highly-acclaimed Dear Sparkle book here, and when you buy it directly from me, you can request a PAWtograph! Or you can also buy a copy from Baby Patches at Nip and Bones, and I can PAWtograph those too. Also, Nip and Bones is actually a lot better with international shipping than I am. By the way, read the reviews on the Nip and Bones site — they are very cool!
I do want to mention one cool deal on Zazzle: today only you get 40% off on shirts and mugs with code 12DAILYDEAL6. So this is a great opportunity to get one of my new Destroy T-shirts. The design is made especially for dark colors, and it comes in a bunch of different styles! Check out my mugs too!
I also want to mention that I got the Blog of the Year Award from three friends: Simba, Sherlock Ash and Traveler and the fish who are keeping Diamond’s blog going! Thanks to all of you, and I’ve now awarded a star back to each of you. I am trying to think of who hasn’t gotten this award yet — or who, at least has not gotten it more than once — and it’s not a big list! And of course there are probably bloggers I am unintentionally leaving out. But here is who I came up with — I think I will leave it at four:
Selina
Pricilla (I bet she will pass it along to some fellow goats!)
Cat Wisdom 101
Cory (Since she was on blogcation, I think she missed out on some of this)
Other than that, it has been rainy here and rather dreary. As you can tell by my ears, I am not happy with the lack of sunbeams. But I can’t be totally annoyed because the rain has also kept my human from chasing after me with her camera and the latest horror she brought home from Petco…

Sparkle, tell your Mom to make the dog wear that hat!
Hi Sparkle! Our Mumsy buys a lot of postcards from Zazzle. We’ll check you out there too. Those star awards are fun, aren’t they?
Sparkle, you are the only cat we know who could interest us by talking about the weather. Concats on the award!
Sparkle, the green hat does not look good. you need to bring the dog in on this one 😉 Concats on the award and on the successful sales. We still need to scoop up one of your calendars…hopefully our mom will get it together before we miss out!
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, HOllie
Sparkle, add another star to your Blog of the year – we awarded it to you last week too. Concats!
What a great post! Yous deserves the Award and concatulations to the cats yous passed it along to and that hat…KILLL IT!!!
Kisses
Nellie
Oh no! Don’t let the human decorate you for Christmas!
Harry, Dexter and Tipp
Hey, Sparkle! We’re so glad the #Nipclub Bazaar was a great success! But as for that green thing…we have only one thing to say…RUN!!!
Sparkle, What the Sam Hill **IS** that, uh, “thing”? It looks like it came from some kind of out of season Leprechaun, or possibly someone really drunk last St. Paddy’s day left it in a bar or something. She isn’t thinking about putting that thing on YOU, is she??? ::shudder::
Well, my mom knows better than to get wearables for me (plus, she says she’d have to shop in the “Husky” department, whatever that’s supposed to mean), but when she went to Petsmart this morning she was very tempted to get a little torti! Thankfully it was way too early for the adoption people to be there.
Sparkle
Are you getting ready to be one of Santa’s elves???
Um, that hat…is … SKEERY. *shudder*
Concats on the pawsome award – and we hopes you sells TONS of calendars and books (we already have BOTH – WOO!!)
Is that an ELF hat? It looks more like a St. Paddy’s Day hat. The calendar Pop bought arrived today. He didn’t buy it on Zazzle. I can’t wait till he gets home and opens it. I know Aunt Pauline and Katie, Jinx and Nikki will love it.
Ooooh! That elf hat doesn’t bode well for you, Sparkle. Maybe you can convince Mom to try it on one of your sisfurs instead.
Well thank Cod you’re not actually WEARING that green hat. I think your human should put it on and have her picture taken. ; )
Congrats on a successful #NipClub Bazaar!
xo,
Katie & Glogirly
The #NipClub bazaar was a blast! Glad to see you there too! Now about that hat… um, no? Purrs…
Sparkle will be ready for St. Paddy’s Day! Thanks for giving us an award 🙂
oh cod oh cod oh cod…is that a cat-sized elf hat?
Sparkle! That hat is not good enough for your beautiful head. I can’t believe it would even attempt to sit on your head. Ain’t gonna happen.
If you ever need a target for a blog award, I’ve never won that one! 🙂
Just saying…
Kisses on your nose Sparkle!
You could put a star on your hat Sparkles!
Thank you very much for the award Sparkle! I like stars. Maybe they will stop the rain.
Oh no, Sparkle. You must come up with some devious plan to ride yourself of that hat! MOL!
Oh Sparkle! Thank you so much for the star! Now … how do I do this?
Puzzled purrs (and I’m still being NurseKatt)
Selina
We really hope you sell all that stuff, Miss S. And concatulations on your award! We luff your blog too.
Tell me that is NOT a kitty hat – Ugh..
Awwww, thank you for the award. It’s nice coming back from blogcation. I’ve missed my pals.
Oh, you’re not going to to be forced to wear that hat, are you? We shudder at the thought.
Concats on the award!
Oh dear Sparkle – that hat really is not for you – maybe your Mom could wear it when she goes shopping!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Congratulations on your star awards! But uh oh about the hat…well I’m sure you will look fantastic in it though!
Glad you sold some of the calendars and that the party was a success. We just don’t have any green papers. Too many cats to feed. Have a great day.
Sparkle, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy reading your advice in your pawesome book! Even my Mommy who calls herself a cat expert learned a thing or two 🙂 I wish more humans would take the time to get to know their kitties.
many purrs,
Sammy =^..^=
We are embarrassed to say what kind of calendars TBT buys… No, not bad ones. Tinkerbelle ones.
But still, Oh, the shame…
Oh dear! That hat looks like trouble to us too! Use your authority to make Binga or Boodie wear it. Have a great week!
I thought it was always sunny in LA! Congrats on the award, Sparkle and I’ll bet that hat will look super-cute on you.
