Hi there, this is Maria and today I want to share a very cute project I created. I am the mom to three Purrfect cats – they seriously changed my life... they made it better. I decided to make some fun craft projects about cats. This one I share with you today is for my office and I will be making a lot more to sell and raise money for an organization that works hard to care and find homes to homeless cats and kittens.

I had this really cute cat figure made out of wood in very nice bright colors, and I thought it would make a great mold. I also I had this tiny picture frame that measures 3.15" x 1.85" that I received from a Secret Santa gift exchange last year and thought it would be fun to mold and use in my crafting projects. It was fun to combine the two creating something unique.

The final result...  this precious, tiny desk decoration! I do have quite a few, one more will not hurt. Please click here to visit my blog "What is Creativity..." and see all the details.

A Picture Purrfect Little Treasure!

Hi my name is Maria Soto, a single mother of three wonderful young adults that make me happy to be a mom. I’ve been working as a project administrator in the construction business for over 20 years.

About 15 years ago I started making my own jewelry. I love to use all different types of materials and products to make all different types of jewelry; such as stamping with inks and paints, resin, fabric, polymer clay, paper clay, etc. I have also enjoyed learning how to make all types of crafts. I would say my style has changed over the years; I love the mixed media concept. Almost everything I create is a one-of-a-kind; I don’t like to make the same thing over and over again, is just not my style. I love to create in a way that allows me to be free to express my creative mood as I feel it.

My blog represents what I love to create, here is my link stop over and check out my work http://chuy-creativity.blogspot.com/ or my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/ChuySoto

I’m currently a CHA Designer Member. I’ve been the project designer for LIMIRI, LLC for over two years, and currently a member of the Amazing Crafting Products Creative Team. Last year I was a part of Craft Critique’s product review team and also the Featured Crafter at Think Crafts.
