Featherbone’s New Year Grab Bag Giveaway!

I hit 5k followers this month, and we’re coming up on the New Year - so I want to celebrate with a little giveaway! :-)

I’ll be sending out little packages of cool creatures to five people in the new year. The giveaway will run until February 1st. To enter, all you need to do is reblog this post - you can reblog multiple times for multiple entries, but giveaway blogs will not be counted. Please check out my work and follow me if you enjoy my creatures, but it’s not required to win. In addition, for every thousand notes on this post by February 1st, I’ll choose one more winner, up to a max of ten. :-)

The prizes are creature grab bags with a whole bunch of cool stuff! Winners will receive a double-sided crow keychain, a pack of mystery creature stickers, and three mystery mini prints. Each grab bag is filled with things available in my shop!

Winners will be contacted on February 1st - if you don’t get back to me within a week with an address or P.O. Box I can send your creatures to, I will choose a new winner. Best of luck and thanks for checking out my work!

Actually life is beautiful because the sound I make while trying to breathe around hot food sounds like my dog trying to eat an apple. When I yawn my cat tries to put his face in my mouth like a little dentist man and when he yawns I put my finger in his obligate-carnivore trapzone and we both know he will not hurt me. When I do not fold my clothes, they do not hold it against me.

I am demonstrably sad, and lonely, and full of fear. But there are other people who will hold my hand, who will point out the hawk overhead, who will give you That Look in a public place. The other day at a coffee shop a child said "look! It's snowing!" so all of us strangers went to go look out the windows. It wasn't the first snow and it won't be the last but wasn't it lovely, like that?

How wonderful to live in a world where birds and frogs both say beep! How wonderful to have an ocean of beautiful sharks with their dinosaur teeth! How wonderful the moon and her changing face, how wonderful the bees and their dancing to communicate, how wonderful shrimp and their forbidden layers of vision! How wonderful, you, and what you will give the world! The way we love things enough to spend entire blogs devoted to them? How people will let me explain my Pokemon team to them? How we will both jump at the scare in the movie, how we laugh so loudly, how it feels to give someone your baking? How wonderful to be alive. I am sorry for forgetting.

This is the process of getting better. With wonderful people and wonderful strangers and wonderful friends: I am getting better, slowly. Thank you, whoever you are. In some way, you've been wonderful, and left a wonderful place in the world to ripple out to me. In some small way - isn't it beautiful - I promise, you've been helping.
