Day 98

Today I worked on our Shih Tzu Izzy's treat jar.  I did it pretty much the same as the cats except this time I added bones and the words "woof" and "grrrr".  And on the top I wrote "Izzy's Treats" instead of "Do I Have To Beg" like I did on the cats.  It came out just as cute as the cats, and I'm just waiting for it to dry to put her new treats in, which are frosted and sprinkled ginger cookies that I bought from Petco!  She's so spoiled...

Here is is finished:


Here it is before I did anything:

Day 97

Today's craft was inspired by a treat jar I saw online.  I was at Michael's craft store the other day and picked up two glass jars that have a seal, one a bit bigger then the other.  This is the smaller of the two for the cat treats.  We have been keeping the treats in the bag they come in, but sometimes the bag doesn't get closed all the way and the treats dry out.  Such a waste of money!  This way they treats will stay fresh and the jar is adorable.

I used enamel glass paint in black and red to make cat paw prints and little hearts.  I have never made these designs on glass with a paint brush and the brushes I have aren't the best for small painting so the prints and hearts are a bit messy, but overall I think it came out cute!  And I put "Don't Make Me Beg" on the top for added charm.  Be sure to check out the last picture of Cody checking it out...

Here it is done:


Here is the jar plain, the way I bought it:


I started painting it:


All done!:

And here is Cody showing his indifference to the finished jar, I think he would like it more if it was full of treats!  But it had to dry....:
