Kitten Hugs Calendar

If you're a cat lover, you must get the new Kitten Hugs Cling Rubber Stamp Set by Stampendous. It's freaking adorable! Not only does it come with several adorable kitten stamps, it comes with a paw print stencil!

Here's a calendar using this fabulous stamp set!

Here's a close up of the kittens. The one in the back with his paw on the head of the orange kitten was colored to look a bit like my Domino...just a bit because Domino is pure white with grey markings on his head.
