A few weeks ago I received an email from Etsy. I was picked to become a finalist in their design awards called the Etsies! (think Oscar of the handmade world). Honestly, I was was a bit shocked. Yes, I had submitted an entry, and yes, it's cute, but ???? Award-winning? Apparently so!

I will find out on September 1st who the winner is. Our llama is up against 159 other entries in a WIDE range of categories and prices. You can check them out here. The Etsy Design Finalists

When I was able to announce my good news, I made a short video to let everyone know. BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

I am trying to celebrate in every way possible. On Instagram, I am doing a giveaway for anyone who follows me and tags their friends. My Instagram is sir_winslows_zoo 

I would love to hear your thoughts on what animal I should send in next year! Comment below
