Cat/Art Studio

Isn't this the sweetest baby picture you have ever seen?  This little darling is Natalie, the one month old daughter of my friend, Christie and her husband, in Newport News.  I created a baby card with the stamp set, Something Sweet, so I thought of this darling little girl.  My card in no way measures up to the beauty you see here.  But, in the stamp set, there is a piece that is a little odd looking and I wondered what I was going to use it for.  Actually, when I first looked at it, I thought it was the handle of a mirror.  I couldn't really tell what it was by looking at the picture on page 20 in the Occasions Mini Catalog but, finally, I decided it could be a handle on a rattle.  Let me know what you think that piece could be used for ~ the most inventive answer wins a prize!
