Thursday Thumbnail -- Featuring Bealoo Kids

Hey there! Happy Thursday to you. I hope you are enjoying December. I just hope that it doesn't fly by like November did! Do you have your Christmas shopping done? No? Well, I don't either, so don't feel bad. Maybe this next giveaway will make a wonderful Christmas gift for someone you know.

Tots on Tuesdays No. 12 -- Featuring Little Beanz

It's late afternoon here in California, and I am only just getting to our Tots on Tuesdays segment today. It seems like my posts just keep getting later, so I apologize. We have been so busy getting ready for our little addition to our family who will be joining us around the end of the month. We're so excited! You can read more about it at An Archer, A Fair Queen, and Two Knights.

Congratulations to Terri, who has won the $20 Gift Certificate from Vintage Sweet Peas! Thanks Lisa, for being so generous with your giveaway. Thank you to those of you who commented.

Today we are featuring an Etsy shop that I have just adored for some time now: Little Beanz. Crystal, of Little Beanz, creates some of the cutest art prints for kids, that I have seen!


Here's a little background on Little Beanz and Crystal:
I am an artist/animator turned work at home mother, of one incredibly awesome little girl, named Avie. Since her birth in January of 2007, my main goal was to restructure my career so that I could work from home and maximize the amount of time spent with my "little bean." I've always fancied anything even remotely cutesy....in fact, I should have a head full of cavities due to the amount of which I adore "sweetness." I've worked on several different children's animated series as an animator and character designer and children's illustration has always been right up my alley. I thought it would be interesting to create a series of little kids, each with their very own look, personality and charm, allowing the viewer to find something endearing and familiar in at least one, if not more, of my little beanz. Some have a muse behind them, and some are created purely from my imagination. I have a long string of ideas so expect to see many more little darlings as the weeks go on.

Crystal, I only wish that I had half the artistic talent that you have! You have been blessed with some great ability!
