I'm about to open my Etsy Shop, and so I thought I should do something special, or at least exciting, and that thing is... give away 3 bugs to 3 different readers! And I'll let the winners pick which bug they want! I have about 30 sitting here patiently waiting for me to do something with them, and I have about 10 being even more patient with me because they have no stuffing! If do you win, I'll let you pick which one you want by posting them all on flickr later in the week! How's that for generous?!
What to do...
1 entry: Leave a comment on this post
2 entries: Since I'm having trouble picking names, and likes & dislikes for the new bugs, I want you to make up a name and 3 likes, and 3 dislikes for a bug. They could be anything at all as long they're not rude, they could even just be your own name and tastes.
I'll draw 3 winners randomly on Friday, and I'll let you know who you are so that you can pick your new little bug friend! So they should be in the post by Monday!
Anyone, anywhere can enter!
Please do, I'll feel silly if no one enters!!!
Goodluck and have a great Tuesday!
P.S. If you're having issues leaving a comment because you don't have a google id or something, just email me at [email protected], and I'll post your entry for you! Or on facebook if you know me there!
x, B.
P.S. More bugs @ my photostream!
Hi Bec,I'd name a bug Queenie. She would like knitting, scrabble and cups of tea. Dislikes would be waiting for buses, tatty library books and spicy food.- Toni

I would choose Ruthie, since you already have one named Linda. Her likes are pansies, dewdrops and naps in the sunshine. Her dislikes are fly paper, rainy days and a car windshield coming toward me at 65 MPH.
