Our new little monster friend!

Kade and I got a package in the mail from the wierdbuglady! Thanks Brigette, we love him :)


I won a contest over at her blog, and this cute little guy is my prize! I was going to keep him for myself, but Kade has claimed the little dude already, and even fed him a penny.

If you would like your own little monster friend, click *here*!! Wierdbuglady also has some other amazing things in her etsy shop! Here are some of my favorites:

She pays great attention to detail and accuracy, and is extremely talented! I never thought ticks, mealybugs, and daphnia's were cute until I saw the ones in her shop, and I just want to squeeze them all. They are so adorable! So, go check it out, you'll be glad you did! :)
