I found a giveaway!
I know I've done a "feature friday" post on the Raggy Rat before, but I had to share her giveaway. Now, when I was first starting to make plushies, I happened upon some of hers on flickr - and I've been a fan ever since! She is definitely an artist that I look up to! So when I saw her giveaway, I had to share it!(well, truth be told, I'm being selfish - I want another entry!)What do you win?

My First Bear
I've been wanting to make artist bears for a while now. well, yesterday I was called off from work so I spent 6 hours making my first bear! His name is Branson. He's certainly not a complicated bear, but he's stinking cute and I'm quite proud of how he turned out (especially since he is my first ever bear and I'm completely self-taught!).He is five way cotter pin jointed, and is 6 inches tall

Somebody likes markers . . . .
Yep. That would be my son Ayden. Loves him some markers. He calls these his tattoos.See, mommy and daddy have tattoos, and he doesn't want to be left out. What to do, what to do . . . . markers!
