Rain Girl's B-B Party 2022: Cat Hunt

Rain Girl's B-B Party 2022
Lovely guests, come over here and take a look at this picture. The woman here was one of my distance relatives who lived in a castle-like house full of turret yards where she resided with her cats. It was said that she was a princess once but none of us knew if that was true nor are we certain she wasn't a witch that turned people into cats if they trespassed her place without her approval. But let's not dwell on history. In this picture, can you find the cats that are (mostly) hidden? (Click on the image to view the larger version.)

Lovely Giveaway

Today, the 24th, is my actual birthday, so here's a giveaway. Three (3) winners will get to choose from one of these prizes:

Option 1: An original art/creation from me. Just give me a theme or an idea or something to draw but no portraits unless you want to take the chance. It will completely be digital so you'll get a high resolution file large enough to print or use it for any purposes but you may not sell it. Satisfaction with the art piece is not guaranteed and it may take a month to complete.

Option 2: A design for your blog such as a header or sidebar item or a design such as a logo or some graphic for something but know you will a digital file in the end.

Option 3: A book of your choice from Book Depository for 20 (U.S.) dollars or less.

To enter in this giveaway, simply leave a comment. Last day to leave a comment is January 31.

You're Invited...

card text: You're Invited to Rain Girl's Mostly Delightful, Slightly Zany, Slapdash Birthday Bash January 21 — January 27, 2022 Where: Here on this blog (Postcards from the Bookstore) Time: Whenever I put up a post
You're Invited to
Rain Girl's Mostly Delightful, Slightly Zany, Slapdash Birthday Bash

Join me for a slapdash birthday bash (aka blog party) celebrating my 27th (don't ask if I'm actually that age) birthday. It begins on Friday, January 21 and ends on Thursday, January 27 and will be right here on this blog.

No need to RSVP or get dressed up, just come as you. There will be no cakes, candies or drinks but feel free to consume any caffeinated drinks you have on hand. There will be presents (aka giveaways) and miscellaneous things & games that I throw together because I'm too lazy to plan. So mark your calendar for January 21 through January 27. I'll see you here until then.

P.S. Since we all love acronyms, I'll shortened this event's name to Rain Girl's B-B Party (B-B as in Birthday Bash). I used to be or perhaps I still am, a rain girl though I no longer take rain photos or aim my thoughts at rain. (So maybe bash means the same as party but don't bother to correct me.)

P.P.S. Here's the list of posts which I will add the link as they are posted. The question marks will be filled once I decided what that post is about.
