And the Winner is...

Thanks to everyone who entered and made treasuries!  They were great!  I will be featuring them all in my "Treasury Tuesday" blog post next week.  But now it's time to announce the winner of the giveaway...

The winner or the "Treasury Love" giveaway is...

 Comment #4...which was by Victoria (ie: bearslp) and included a link to her treasury, Some Awesome Little Monsters.  Congratulations Victoria!  You will have a Nubbin arriving in the mail soon!

 If you didn't win or didn't get a chance to enter, don't worry, I'm planning on doing giveaways more frequently in the future!

Happiness in the mail!

So, I've been sick this week...sniffles, coughing, sore throat, headache...and just a general icky feeling. And this little bundle of joy I got in the mail on Wednesday just made an otherwise "ick" day just a little brighter!

They were a lot bigger than the picture I had in my head. I love them! I have the urge to do a little puppet show with them!

I imagine this blue guy with a deep voice and a British accent.

Any suggestions for names for these awesome little guys? Or how about a story that I can do a puppet show about?

My Happycloud Thunderhead Monster Finger Puppets!

I recieved an email from Happycloud Thunderhead today telling me my finger puppets will be in the mail tomorrow morning! He also gave me a sneak peek of what they look like from his Flickr...and you know I just HAD to share!

I LOVE them! They turned out so great! He does good work considering all he had to work from was this little digital doodle I sent him!

Newest Nubbins...

Here's what the lucky winner of my giveaway will be recieving! Her chosen colors were brown and green...

I was intrigued by 00noctum00's color combo choice of "grey and mustard yellow". At first glance I thought "That's a weird combination!" But then I thought about it and decided to try it out...

I had mustardy yellow felt (actually the sticker says "goldenrod"), and found some of the same yellow in a flower pattern fabric I have. I like the purple and turquoise it added into the color scheme. I'm very satisfied with it. It will be in my Etsy shop soon. I actually will probably be making a lot of owls in the color combos people chose. Keep watching...the next one could be yours!

Then there's the brown dog I made as a custom order (to go with the yellow dog I sold the customer before) .

I want to make a black & brown dog that looks like Luna now! And I bought some flesh tone colored felt at JoAnne's today, so I will be making Max from "Where The Wild Things Are" sometime in the next few days.

And The Winner Is...

I'm pleased to announce that the winner of the Custom Owl Nubbin GiveAway is...

FoundProdigalDaughter!

Congratulations! I will be contacting you soon regarding the details of your custom Owl Nubbin!Thanks so much to everyone who participated! I will be sure to do more giveaways in the future!

Valentine's Day Give-Away Winner

All of you that commented and entered the Give-Away had such great sounding captcha monster names (that I will definitely be logging away for future use). So it was so hard to pick the best one! But after difficult deliberation, I decided that the captcha "Zogra" was the best sounding monster name and that means...

SquishyCuteStuff

has WON THE GIVEAWAY!

I can't wait to make a new monster and name it Zogra! I agree...definitely kind of scary, yet feminine...I'm visualizing either an Amazon or a monster/alien princess dictator. Hmmm..."Princess Zogra"...sounds good. "You will bow to Princess Zogra!" ...sorry, I got carried away for a second there!

Congratulations SquishyCuteStuff! And thanks again to everyone who entered. I kind of like the best-captcha-turned-monster-name terms of entering the give-away...it's at random, but still has an element of fun and creativity to it...better than a random number generator or picking names out of a hat. I'm definitely going to do this again, so if you didn't win, you'll have another chance another time!
