Prepare to AWW.

April 30 | Posted in Blogiversary, Giveaway, the giant chihuahua, the tiny aussie

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. Thanks to everyone for entering. Winner TBA soon!

I never really jumped on the whole “squee” bandwagon. Something about it is faintly reminiscent of the Woo Girls from How I Met Your Mother, and that just doesn’t sit well with me at all. However, if I were a Squee Girl, this would totally push my Squee Button:

Go ahead. Try. TRY TO TELL ME YOU DIDN’T SQUEE.

When Rebecca from Hugs & Kisses Designs contacted me about sponsoring a giveaway by donating a custom silhouette, I was thinking Cute, but I don’t have any kids! Would it be creepy to do one of my husband? And just as I was trying to picture where to hang an outline of my husband’s face, she said “I can do children, adults, and possibly pets.” OH REBECCA. You just said the MAGIC WORDS. So I sent her pictures of Pancho & Leia, and she managed to create these adorable pieces of artwork that I can’t wait to hang in our new place!

Perhaps if you’re not the crazy dog lady into dogs as much as I am, you’ll enjoy some of her other silhouettes:

How cute is Lexie?!

Or how about polka dot Lexie? Precious!

And for you crazy feline people… how sweet is Xedo? I want to snuggle him.

Rebecca has offered one lucky winner a custom silhouette of their choice. If you win, you send her a picture of your kid, your cat, or your great-aunt Matilda, & she turns it into art. ART, Y’ALL. Here are the rules, so play nice:

Comments on Prepare to AWW.

From Emily:

I would totally love a pic of my pooch, Rudi. She would look simply stunning in the brown and blue color combo!

From Carla:

OOOh this is soooo cute!! I would love one of my little doggie stella (she is a blond long poncho) Grey and coral would be my choice…or maybe navy…hmmm so many options!

From Rachel:

From Miranda:

From Beth:

I would get one of my new baby!
I think I would go w/ pink and gray.

From Sarah:

I don’t have kids either- but I’m sure I would get one of my dogs! And, since I have two, if I win, I’d have to go ahead and buy another because you can’t show favoritism- that’s just wrong.

I would do my youngest niece and give it to my sister for mother’s day! Pink/Brown since it matches her room.

I’m not sure what a “squee” is, but it sounds retarded. I would love a silhouette of my sweet Will. Just sayin’.

From Lilly-Catherine:

I am a squee-er and I totally squeed when I saw those! Too adorable!

I would follow suit, and get silhouette’s of my two little puppies (:
And I’m think black background, with the hotpink silhouette for Darcey (the girl dog) and then white background and green silhouette for CJ (the boy dog) (:

Soooo cute!

From Kristina:

I would LOVE one of these!! My husband and I do not have any children yet…so we would definetly want one of our puppy Sasha. We rescued her from the humane society. She is half German Shepard half Chow. I would choose gold and green…or maybe green and navy.

From Hannah:

I would get one of my new son, because he has such a perfect little button nose. I love the blue and brown.

From Kaci:

I would oh-so-definitely get my twin nieces in on this stuff – and do a deep pink background with a white silhouette for one, and for the other I’d do a white background with a purple silhouette (one likes pink, the other likes purple)! So so cute these are. You always find such good stuff!

From Kaci:

From Suburban Sweetheart:

How do you get hooked up with these great giveaways?! Amazing.

I have no kids & no pets, though I sure do love my mom’s dog. What on earth would I choose?! I love the light blue & warm grey color combo… but I’d have to think long & hard about what I’d choose.
