If there is one thing that defines my home, it’s the paws. Between the current “royalty”—Pixel, my beautiful, grumpy Queen of the Universe, and Dorcas, our little gargoyle—and the memories of Herb, my wild boy who finally settled down, and silly Paul the tuxedo, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the lives we share with our animals.

Choosing You Nine Times Over ❤️✨

I love the thought that one lifetime just isn’t enough to spend with the people who truly know us. Whether it’s a Valentine’s Day card or an anniversary note, the Nine Lives design is really about that sentiment: I’d choose you in every single one of them.

It’s sweet, a little whimsical, and a perfect way to tell your “person” that you’re in this for the long haul—all nine rounds!

Send a Smile in the Mail 💌

If you’re looking to send a little romance through the mail, I’ve added the Nine Lives Greeting Card to my Etsy shop. Since it’s a digital download, you’ll get both the PDF and JPG files instantly. You can print it at home today and have it ready for the mailbox (or the kitchen counter) in no time.

Cozy Gifts & Art 🎁

I’ve also put this design on a few favorites over at Threadless. You can find it on soft throw pillows, wall art, tote bags, and of course, t-shirts.

I hope this little piece of my heart brings a smile to yours today. Whether you’re snuggling with a “gargoyle” of your own or writing a note to your favorite human, I hope your day is full of love!

Have a beautiful day! ♥
