Here are some highlights from the Blessed Trinity Christmas Bazaar Bash a few weeks ago. 🎄
(most of the pictures are of Pepper because we were busy talking to customers/vendors and giving out coloring pages) 😂

We showed off our shirts that StudioTwelveThirteen LLC printed for us and one of the kids gave us the page they colored! It looks awesome! 🥹 They even signed their name (I blocked it out for their privacy.)

We colored one of the new pages we recently made of santa and his little helper, available now on our website.😊

Congratulations to Cleopatra!

She waited patiently for her furever family and wait no more!

We are so happy to see her furever family has chosen her. We wish her a happy and long life with lots of treats and yummy food❤️

634 Days!

Hi! I’m Cleopatra, also known as Drama Mama!

I came into the rescue 634 days ago, and have been patiently waiting for my turn to find my own family. I’ve waited and waited and waited. And then I waited some more. I’ve had multiple applications but none panned out for me.

Well, I wait no more for I was finally chosen…. ❤️

I was adopted over the weekend and I am now settling in with my new family who finally saw what my foster mom and WOL see in me.

I’ve loved my stay with my foster mom and I’m really grateful for her listening to me all the time because I am very opinionated and have a lot to say. 😜

Im grateful for my new family who immediately knew I was the one!

I’d wait another 634 days to find a family like mine….❤️
