photo extravaganza

Mom sent me a new camera, and I couldn't be happier. I went on a photo rampage!


My less photographed kitty, Moxie.


The silver mollies in my upstairs fish tank.


A collection of hand-made toys, most of which I made myself.


My Royal Kitties, made for me by my mom. My mom made these, people.


The type tray that hangs on the wall in my hallway.


Art I bought at Casa de los Ninos thrift store. Hangs in my kitchen.
