Winning day and Christmas cards!

Well, it's been such fun having this giveaway over the last week, thank you so much to all of you that took the time to pop by and join in with this new exciting launch of my Bumpkin Bears illustrations. This morning Hamish (looking for a special family) was the most excited and having the smallest paws we decided he would be the best bear to pull a name out of our special bowl! So without any more delay THE WINNER IS - Bob.T. Bear!! Yes a bear won the giveaway, you must pop by his blog to find out about all the adventures he gets up to! Hamish hopes you'll be a very happy bear Bob :)




I've had so many enquiries if I will be creating my prints into Christmas cards that I have been a very busy bee this weekend adding some extra special festive touches to my prints to transform them into sweet cards. I bought some gorgeous rich cream cards with a lovely texture and some berry red envelopes for them. Here is a sneak peek of some before I take photos of the printed cards tomorrow and then they'll roll straight into my Etsy store. If you'd like to be amongst the first to hear of new additions to the Bumpkin Bears world then just send the bears and I an email (see mailing list link on the left).




I'll be back tomorrow with more details of my cards :) Hugs, Catherine and the bears xx

Thank you so much, catherine! This is so generous of you, and winning has given us all a real boost round here, on a cold and drizzly day!!!

I've put a pic on my blog with a link, and also a link to your Etsy shop.

Bob is quite excited about your cars, btw., and has been counting out his shiny penny collection in readiness.

Congrats to Bob, and hello to Catherine! Thank you for dropping by. I think we've interacted before, and that's quite some time ago. Your bears still look just as lovely.

Have a nice day!
