Make Be Real: 2014

Monday

2 years and over 75 000 views!

I can't believe it's been two years since I created Addison's Lily the Bunny from her drawing - one of my very first softies after going online!

I received this picture and message from Addison's Mom, Betsy, this evening and it truly made my day!

"We celebrated Addison's 7th birthday on Sunday and Lily turned 2! Addison still loves her just as much as the day she received her! Thank you again for making such a special gift for Addison!!!!! We are your biggest fans! She has never been attached to anything and i truly mean anything, until Lily! Lily goes on every trip! Never has missed a night without her by her side at bedtime!"

Happy Birthday Addison! I hope you and Lily are having a wonderful celebration!

Sunday

It doesn't Happen Every Time...

But when it does, they're always the best emails to receive! After putting a little of my soul and a great deal of time into each and every softie I create (just like the children do when they create their characters), it's really amazing to receive pictures of the children with their softies. Parents almost always write me to tell me that they received their packages and describe to me their children's reactions I have a pretty good imagination but when I get a picture it just really makes my day extra special!

Here are some of the pictures I have received from parents of their little ones with the softies we worked together to bring to life!

Meet Nic and his sister Olivia!

Nic and Olivia, from Up North(ish) Ontario drew these self portraits for their Dad. Their dad LOVES them so much that his girlfriend wanted to have softie's made from their design's for his birthday! I just love their little outfits!!
