Posted byHellllllllo, Offbeat Homies! Welcome to December. I know it’s a few days old, but moving into December feels like an important time of year. I’m looking at lots of posts about winterizing, holidays, parties, cookies, and inclement weather. Southern Hemisphere! I love to hear what life’s like for you, and we’ve got a post just for you coming up later this week.
I have a challenge for ALL readers, both hemispheres, any continent: I want to meet your offbeat pets. I’ll be looking through photos for one of my childhood cat Mischief, a runty calico missing a leg and an eye. Share your non-standard poodles this week right here.
Let’s get the week going with a look at what’s been going on with photos from the Offbeat Home Flickr pool and things we’ve pinned via the Offbeat Home Pinterest account.
I bought a set of these Christmas cards, and I have NO IDEA what I’ll do with them, but after I read the story behind their creation, I just had to. Source: bradmcginty.com via Cat on Pinterest

This will be my goal with each MM to follow: get Dootsie to compose a song about it.
Looking back on my meter there, I’m realizing why I don’t have a career in music.
BUT OKAY. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
Popcorn and toast with spoon dinner, for the win!
The spoon was for the strawberry ice-cream sundae. 🙂
Aren’t those tacks in the wall holding up the moose antlers? Wouldn’t that count as damaging the wall? I know it would under the terms of many leases and dorm room agreements.
Considering that all my friends have horribly sick senses of humor, I have just purchased a bunch of those cards! I can not WAIT to get them!
love the creepy cards! christmas on the west side of Australia is awesome! i love it! its hot, sticky and we drink lots of lovely champagne to keep us cool haha. wake up, open pressies, then lunch with hot and cold food, then nap then quiet dinner/play with my new toys! everyone should try a summer christmas at least once.
