He doesn't really meow. He makes this very annoying "aaat" sound, over and over and over. And it's especially annoying at 4:30 am! He jumps up on the bed, spreads out right next to me with his head rubbing the corner of the pillow and goes, "aaat, aaat, aaat". If I roll over, he climbs to the other side, stepping on me of course, and repeats the process, over and over, and over. Sometimes he lets me fall asleep for 5 or 10 minutes. But eventually he returns to his annoying "aaat, aaat, aaat". If I pet him several minutes, he quiets down. When I stop, he's back to "aaat, aaat, aaat". I should have just responded to the initial, "aaat, aaat, aaat" by getting out of bed and letting him outside. But by the time I did, I was thoroughly awake. There might have been a slim chance or returning to sleep, had I not sneaked a peek at today's Mojo Sketch. Then the wheels start turning and next thing I know.... I'm cutting paper.

Lately, when I don't need a card for something specific, I try to make an "Any Hero" card for Operation Write Home using the Mojo Monday Sketch.

Great Impressions is having a great blog hop this month to support OWH and a sketch challenge of their own. Since I was up early, I had time to make 2 "Any Hero" cards this morning and do their blog hop.
This is the OPW sketch I followed.
If you ever need a sketch, OPW has hundreds on their blog and all with measurements.
