Feeling Flaky??? If so...

Oh yes...it's FINALLY that time, you know, that I've been teasing you all about here and there. Allowing you to feel hints of excitement. The VERY FIRST contest that this bloggie has ever held. Without any further adieu, let me fill you peeps in.

Here's the deal, this artsy lady sews some of the cutest, weirdest, most unique and durable stuffed animals that you can find. :) And yes...I bought one and have another one on the way.

Macie just HAD to have the rainbow striped ribbon horse. Ty fell in love with it as soon as it arrived, so I went back and ordered him a giraffe. We are anxiously awaiting Lester's arrival. Among others...you MUST see "Bogart" and "Shaggy Dog." They're too furry and friendly to resist!

Basically these odd little friends find a way to wiggle right into your heartstrings and set up camp there. You MUST go check them out!

What is required in this contest...

• You must go to her shop and find a flaky friend that you like best and come back and tell me which one it is along with your entry.
• ONE entry per day, an extra entry will be given to those who post a link back to this one and announce the give-a-way on their blog.

The winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to her fabulOOsis store. Also...while you're browsing her irresistible plushy creations and just can't wait until the contest is over because you MUST have one now, enter the code 'tales-of-a-stay-at-home-mom' in the sellers notes and wait for a revised invoice before paying to receive 20% off your entire purchase.

Her furry flakey-friends will make an adorable shower gift, birthday present, or just because I thought of you gift. It sure beats running to the store and trying to unsuccessfully pick out a gift from the shelves and shelves of same ole' same ole' items. Her whimsical shop is STOCK full of unique plushies. All of Sarah's animals have a lot of personality and are just adorable!

What is so cool about Sarah, the designer, is she works up all her creations from scratch! No patterns, just doodles from her sketchbook, a sewing machine and loads of talent.

Go HERE to browse through the Flakey Friends and hurry back to tell me which one is your favorite. Contest ends September 15. Let me know with a seperate entry if you have posted a link and announced the give-away on your own blog.
