Illustrations from something I've been working on...











Can anyone tell me what these 12 animals have in common?
I'll eliminate some of the obviously true, but NOT the answer I'm looking for:
Yes, these were all created by me.
Yes, these are all paper cut designs.
FREE GIVE AWAY: I will put the names of the readers who post a comment telling me the correct answer, into a hat and Little One will pull out a winner on Friday June 5th @ 6pm. If he pulls out YOUR name you will get your choice of one of my prints from my new Esty Shop!
Good luck everybody!
Thanks for reading and guessing ;)

Green Mama has won my Blog Giveaway! Congratulations Green Mama! Little One (honest and truly) picked your name and then jumped up and down screaming "Green Mama, Green Mama, Green Mama!" it was too funny and would have been very funny to watch on YOUTUBE....but alas I wasn't that quick with my camera. So all of you who haven't, stop by and visit Jessica at Green Mama; she's a mom who inspires!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this Giveaway! Check back, maybe I'll do it again. The concept is lovely and who doesn't like getting stuff in the mail?
In PEACE,
Jennifer
