My First-Ever Blog Giveaway!!

That's right! I'm doing my first blog giveaway!! It's terribly exciting - in fact, I just peed a little.

*runs to bedroom to change pants*

I feel better now. Okay! So what am I giving away? Only one of my awesome signature rats!! Oh yeah, baby! Vermin! This guy's name is Winston and he's very excited to travel!



See?! See how cute Winston is?! Don't you just wanna squish him?! DON'T squish him. That's downright mean.
And the best thing about Winston? He doesn't have the plague. That's right!! Plague free! Woohoo!
Golly Cami, I love him! How do I win him?
I'm glad you asked! There's 2 ways to enter:
1. Visit my Etsy shop, take a look around and leave a comment here stating what I should make more of, what I shouldn't make again, OR something you'd like to see me make (you can look through my sold items as well). This will get you 1 entry.
2. Blog this giveaway! Comment here with a link to your blog post. That will get you 2 entries!
And be sure to leave contact info for me in case you're the winner!
This contest will run for one week starting today (Sat. Aug. 8th) and ending on Saturday, Aug. 15th. The winner will be chosen randomly by my 2 year old son on Sunday morning (Aug. 16th).
Alrighty!! Enter away!!

Hi Cami! My recommendation for what kinds of animals you should make are:
- oppossom (stay true to yourself and make more vermin. you know you love those ratty tails!)
- hedgehog (everyone wants a hedgehog. even me - seriously. i would probably buy that)
- platypus
- kangaroo with a joey

and I think you should make MORE of your long haired animals, and more animals with real fur!

Have fun with your give-away!

Cami, yeah, Hedgehogs would be so cute. People love dolphins, so that's a thought.

BTW, I love your zombies and soul suckers!

Love give-aways!

hahaha. I love the zombie bunnies,
and the half-yeti that is already sold..
How about making an ostrich zombie..those animals freak me the hell out, so I am sure they would be super scary as zombies!!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

I think hedgehogs would be great. I love the ferret you already make!
Great stuff!

Justine said...

Okay, now I've blogged it too! Yeah!
Winston is looking for a home! http://justnibbles.blogspot.com/2009/08/winston-is-looking-for-home-and-he.html

You should make some furry little cute skunks, but please only use faux fur! Some naughty squirrels would be fun too.
I love your rats and that chinchilla is cute too.
Your zombie bunnies disturb me! Maybe because I have a real bunny that lives with me - she is not a zombie, she is a PRINCESS!!! ♥♥♥ bunnies ♥♥♥ We love your Blake bunny though! He's very handsome.

I LOVE your shop. Rodents seem to be your forte! I loved the sunburnt rat. Maybe make more rodents that have a "look" or theme like that one.

You can convo me at http://gubfactory.etsy.com.

I liked the zombie bunny, Just featured you on my Sunday Smiles Blog! http://88links.blogspot.com So much fun to look at your shop.

I like Mahoney the rat :)

Also, hamsters! They are oh-so-popular and I know my little Delilah (Panda colored Long-haired Teddy Bear hamster) would love a cuddle buddy ;)

if I am lucky enough to be the winner, you can contact me through my Etsy shop: http://sillylittlelady.etsy.com

I think a wacky bat or craft cat to go along with the rats would be great for Halloween..I love your shop!! Okay, I commented and I blogged..."the rat is mine!" No, not yet, and I am not Frodo Baggins and this is not like The Lord of the Rings...shucks, been hanging around with my granddaughter too much, cannot get that movie out of my head!

moonlightaura said...

I think a cat zombie would be great just in time for halloween! (I'm also partial to anything ferret as well, as you know!) I posted your blog on my facebook as well! Good luck to you :D

Hi!! I love the theme of your shop.
To answer the question what you shouldn't make more of, my answer is
Claire the Octopus
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24916241
Yes, your description fits quite well with your theme, but people first look at the product and then read the description. Claire is cute looking(again, yes you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, an octopus by it's cute looking eyes and face)but she just doesn't fit with your theme, color and all.
Otherwise, everything is great! I love your shop, and keep up the great(and gory-like) work!

Love the shop, so glad I found it!

The zombie bunnies are great even if the intestines are a bit...phallic. But hey, that may just be my own mind.

Make more ferrets! They rock.

I love this rat! Have you ever thought of a woodchuck?

Also, here is my little giveaway, if anyone wants in.

Oh I love Winston! He would be very happy in my home :)

I think you need some squirrels in your shop--and bonus points for zombie squirrels!
Love the steampunk sculptures as well.

I just love your sock/knitted rats! Your shop is pretty cool.

Randi said...

You are truly warped... and I think that's a good thing! I really like Desmond and Carter (I think they are from the same litter), and I think a cool new idea would be a Raccoon... a little bigger than a rat, but just as much a member of the vermin family!

I love your Etsy site and I am looking longly at the ferret, I have a white.gray one named Cupid. I'd like to see a sugar glider. I have one of those too. Awesome work you do.
