Flaky Friends

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

This post is just one of many giveaways featured today 06/27/08 as part of Summer’s Bloggy Birthday Bash.

Barbara BeaverHere’s a giveaway that should make you smile. I know I couldn’t help but smile, even let out a chuckle or two when I first browsed all of the unique creations Sarah of Flaky Friends has made. And I mean that as a compliment of the highest order. Sarah’s creations are truly one of a kind, truly awesome and thoroughly infused with Sarah personality. If you’re wondering what that means you should definitely visit her blog.

A few months ago, her posts started to dwindle and soon she announced the reason for it - Flaky Friends. What are Flaky Friends you ask? Sarah says it best herself:

“My creations are a comic blend of the expected and unexpected. I don’t work from patterns and all my animals are born from random doodles in my sketchpad. If my little girls aren’t crazy about the finished product, I keep working on it until they are.”


  After going through her gallery of work I am hooked. I   never knew stuffed animals could be so fun. I can’t   imagine hugging one of these guys on a sad day and not   smiling. Sarah is offering one lucky commenter the   chance win Lucky the Turtle, featured at left. I love   turtles and I think Lucky is adorable!

TO ENTER:
1. Visit Flaky Friends and look around.
2. Come back here and leave a comment saying which Flaky Friend is your favorite.
3. This giveaway is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada only.

I’ll go promote it anyways, just cuz I like you so much and I want to show you my support. Happy Party Day! I’m so glad that you blog! And I love your honesty. You always make my day!

I’ve seen these before, and they are soooooooo groovy. Well, my 4yo daughter’s favorite is the crochet-flower-topped turtle. But MY favorite is Baaaaab Robertson. Love it!!

I am in love with all the cute turtles, especially the Flower Turtle Stuffed Animal Plushie Softie with the pink petals :)

Memarie LaneJune 27th, 2008 at 11:20 am

Wow, you weren’t kidding! I like Sven the blue penguin best, but it was really hard to choose. The shameless cow really cracked me up.

HarmonyJune 27th, 2008 at 11:21 am

They are all so great, how do you choose a favourite? She really does a great job, they are all so original. My sons are drawn to the strange so I really think the earthworms are cool. You don’t see toys like them around too much! I also like the turtles that you can take in and out of their shells. Love the big googly eyes, great giveaway!

I love the Lucky Turtle the Stuffed Animal Plushie Softie - and I could use some good luck right about now… :)

mannequinJune 27th, 2008 at 11:26 am

Wow. That is just an incredible talent she’s got there and adorable little creatures! The one that stole my heart was Shaggy Sheep Dog. The craftsmanship is just incredible; I am impressed!
and thank you, Summer.

Kimberly Kayes last blog post..Aloha Friday

The Rev.June 27th, 2008 at 11:52 am

Shaggy Sheep Dog is easily the best one on the site! Not to say they aren’t all great (they are), but that dog….something about him catches my eye-

Plus, he’s got this constant look of surprise on him that I find unendingly entertaining-

-The Rev.

(fingers crossed….)

BeckyJune 27th, 2008 at 12:01 pm

Oh my goodness, these are so original and fun!! :w00t:
If I were picking for myself, I’d go with Bogart the Love Camel. He’s so funky! :happy:
But for my kids? I’d actually pick the prize - Lucky the turtle! I think they would get a real kick out of his funny personality, his colorful shell, and the fact that you can actually *take him out* of his shell. How cool!!

EmmyJune 27th, 2008 at 1:32 pm

I love Sarah’s creations especially the descriptions. I was very sad when she stopped posting as often but the animals are hilarious! It is so hard to choose a favorite. Funniest is Lucky Rabbit’s Foot, Unlucky Rabbit! Cuddlest is Pegasus or Basset Hound. Craziest is a toss up between Crazy Croc and Tiger. All time favorite the Flying Big. How can someone pick just 1 favoirte???????
