Active Posters Exciting News Please Read!!!

This morning a Catsite.com member made the following generous offer!

She would like to offer her substantial artistic talents, and paint a picture of members' individual cats. Put this picture along with a story about the cat into a book and offer the book up for sale with proceeds going to a cat charity!

At the moment, she will stay mysterious and be known as only Nancy Draw-

Anne was told of this offer and so Anne has put down the stipulations of determining who will be in the first book- (There might be more books in the future) depending on how this will go.

Nancy will paint the pictures for the first book. Therefore, the most active and up-to-date members will be allowed to contribute to this book first.


Ok now there are more stipulations here. There is only one photo allowed for this with only one cat in it, no matter how many cats you might have. As, this is a lot of work Nancy Draw is taking on!


All photos and stories will be mailed to me directly. PM me for my address please. Because of this WOW offer from our member, I told her I would contribute by taking your stories and turning them into a poem about your cat. I will use the initials of your cat's names- so when you write about your cat, give me traits, and funny things it does, tell me about your pet and give me plenty of information to work with here.

Ok that's it, except for a BIG Thank You to Nancy Draw for taking on a project of this magnitude!


There is a time frame here guys, so let me hear from you! And those who don't qualify right now, keep participating in these wonderful forums and perhaps other books will be coming your way soon.


That's it- Happy Holidays!

E-mail is on it's way! Woooooooohoooooooooooo! How exciting!

What a great idea! A big THANK YOU to Nancy Draw, too!!!

What an awesome idea!! PM is on its way!

I just pm'd you and I think the offer is awesome!

I just e-mailed you with a pic and info.

I'm so excited about this!! Email off to you Hissy, and I do have a couple questions....

How long of a story do you want, or just some rambling about the kitty in the pic? I only have a digital camera, would a decent quality print out be OK to send? When do we need to have the pics and story sent to you?

A HUGE THANK YOU to Nancy Draw for this incredible offer!

I just PM'd you, then I got your email. How soon do you and Nancy Draw want the pictures and stories? Big thanks to Nancy.

Wow, that is a fantastic offer .
How will the book be available?
Just wondering.


Conrgatulation you heavy posters you!

ok the sooner you can mail this off to me the better. Most of you have already been in touch with me. I would prefer (if possible) to have both the story and photo sent direct mail. Of course our members overseas, I know that email will be the way you will go. But having the photo in front of her will make it easier for Nancy Draw to use them, and for us to keep track of them. Make sure your name, address or email address and name of kitty (board name for you) is on the back of the photo. The story can should just be a short snippet about the cat. If you just want to list traits that is fine, but if your cat does something really different, let me know that as well so I can work it into the poem.

The book is hoped to be completed in 6 months (if all goes well) The cost, is still up in the air, however it will be announced on this board first when the first copy is finished and will be offered up for sale on Meowhoo.com. The artist wants the proceeds to go to a cat charity- and I can think of none more worthy than the one Anne works with CWSI. Cat Welfare Society of Israel. Seems only fair, as it is her board where we all met.

This is so awesome!!!!! I can't wait!!!!! Big thanks to the person doing this and to you Hissy for helping them!

PM acomin' your way! Thanks for the offer it's very exciting.

I will sort out pic and story tomorrow, as it's bedtime here now.

Oooooh, sending you a PM Hissy! This sounds so exciting

Wow - what a great idea!!!!! I'm really excited!!!!!!

bump

b...u...m...p!

WOW!!!! To Nancy Drew all I can say is thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, not only are we proud and flattered to be included in this amazing project but also humbled by your generous offer. I am also so happy that it will go towards such a worthy cause. To be included amoungst you all will be marvelous and exciting and will be something to always remember everyone by as I count you all as my friends what a wonderful birthday surprise. Thank You!

That was nice guys- although she is anonymous right now, I know she is keeping her eye on this thread.

last bump of the day......

I have to pick 1 cat! How will I tell the others why they weren't chosen. Hissy - I will discuss it with the cats this weekend and let them choose who will go in the book. As soon as that is decided I will mail you a pic and story.
