Thanks so much for all the helpful comments about my last post. I've gotten some very interesting suggestions about things that might improve our booth. Some were impractical & several involved my incorporating pictures of my cats in some way, shape or form. One suggestion in particular really piqued my interest. 
Pat Winship of Mt Tabor, NJ suggested that I get a couple of photos of my "boys", get them blown up to lifesize proportion, then cut out & mounted into stand-up figures. From the distance they would look very real. This idea sounded just wonderful to me, so I set about digging thru my digital photos for some suitable pics for this purpose. These are the two I came up with.
Next, I found an online site that make them both for $29.99 each, which I thought was a fair price. The finished standup figures will be lifesize of course, and the backgrounds will be cut away so that they can have a life-like presence in our booth at Market. (The sewing machine will of course be present in Jeter's standup also, but I think that's cool as well.) I think they'll not only be a fabulous addition to our booth, but a great conversation piece. So thanks for the great suggestion Pat. I don't know what's going to be more fun, having the "stand-up boys" in the booth with us, or seeing Jeter & Joba's reactions to the "stand-up boys" when I take them out of the shipping box! THAT should be a GAS!
(I'm working on a few other suggestions as well so I'll keep you posted & have a fun weekend!)
What a great and funny idea! Can't wait to hear what people say when they see your boys at the show!
