THING 1:  Trouble Maker
says, "Cleo, my purr-ty adopted furbaby, is excited and says purr-haps it's time for us to do something claw-some and acknowledge National Puppy Day since her canine cousin, 'Slim', was also adopted. In celebration, we have stirred up a paw-some recipe so you can create a project, for any occasion, using our recipe above. 

You can stop here...

"Well, as a crafter, let’s turn this around… You may prefer to use the same old stuff and still create something new and unique. Look for stuff that you have buried in your stash and make a project for any occasion using our 3-2-1 recipe above."

says, "I use a lot of new things, but I'm not opposed to using some old stuff from my stash. National Pig Day was yesterday, and how often do you get to use a pig stamp or die? It's kind of a pig deal, sow simple, sow cute. It's time to ham it up! Sow my optional twist is to include at least one pig in your project that makes us squeal."
