Last Saturday, October 15, 2022, the Cat Writers’ Association (CWA) held its annual communications contest to honor the pool of talent that represents excellence in writing, blogging, photography, graphic design, poetry, and more. Now the third year in a row as a virtual event, for those of you that missed it, but would like to watch the ceremony, you can enjoy the YouTube video to follow at the end of this post.

CWA president, Cassandra Morgan, hosted the event and a big round of applause for a wonderful production. The video started in honorarium to the Immediate Past President, dear friend and beloved by so many, Paula Gregg, who we tragically lost on May 2 of this year to pancreatic cancer. She will be forever missed and is a reminder to be kind and loving to one another, as you just never know when it will be someone’s time to leave this earth.

While I am a writer by nature, due to a variety of reasons, I’m not able to blog or write with any frequency any longer, but I still try to dabble in another passion of mine – graphic design – so I was thrilled to find out I won a MUSE award in the Photographic Art category for my 2021 Greeting Card Collection featured on my Zee & Zoey’s Cat Creations shop on Zazzle. The series featured:

Bengal Cat Happy Birthday (cat model: Zoey)

Ginger Cat Thanksgiving (cat model: Jazmine)

Black Cat Halloween (cat model: Shadow)

Bengal Cat Holiday Greeting (cat model: Zoey)

Black Cat Happy Birthday (cat model: Shadow)

I had a lot of fun designing the cards and if you want to see them, or any of my other card designs, t-shirts, mouse pads, and more, please visit Zee & Zoey’s Cat Creations (you can also click each card image to be brought directly to the shop). Zazzle frequently has sales, too, so don’t forget to look for discount codes before you shop!

Take care everyone, enjoy the ceremony, and congratulations to all the winners!
