I have received my giveaway prize!

I got my giveaway prize from Pawsitivly Pets! Yay!

(I actually got my prize last Thursday, but I just haven't posted this until now - I've been so busy!)

I was so pleased with the way it came out - The painting looks just like Willow, don't you think?

I was so excited when I got up and there was a package lying on the floor by our letterbox!

Carla had made sure it didn't get broken or damaged by putting it in a padded envelope and slotting the portrait between two cardboard sheets. Everything was perfect! Thank you so much Carla!

I really want to recommend her artwork because, as you can see, it is truly amazing!

Her shop is called Carla's Creatures, and I recommend you visit either her website or etsy store!

I would never have got this without her, so thank you so much Ann!

I won a giveaway!

I WON A GIVEAWAY!!! I WON A GIVEAWAY!!! I WON A GIVEAWAY!!! YAY! YAY! YAY!

 Last week Ann Paws ran a giveaway on her blog, Pawsitively Pets.

The prize was a portrait of your pet! How cool and personal is that? - I think it's a great prize because anyone who has a pet would love that! 

The custom portrait of your pet will be drawn by a great artist called Carla Smale. Her artwork is truly amazing! Some of her artwork is below: If you want to have a look at her artwork, you can visit her etsy store or her website.

There were loads of entries and I am always really unlucky, so I definitely did not expect to win! When I found out I was so excited!! :D

I got in contact with Carla, and she said she would prefer a head shot as it is only a small portrait, and doing her whole body on that would probably prove quite tricky!

So I had a look, and this is the picture I came up with:

What do you think? Do you think that's a nice photo, or do you think I should chose another one like the one below?

I just can't decide and I want to make sure I chose the perfect photo! - So please tell me what you think so I can email Carla and tell her which photo I have chosen!

Thank you so much to Ann and Carla!! I can't wait to receive my prize and I love Ann's blog - she has such great posts (one every day) and the giveaway was great. :)

If you don't already read Ann's blog, be sure to check it out! You won't regret it!

Quick snap of Willow in her little nest

Willow is doing well, and has now built a cool nest as you can see above.

She loves her exercise wheel too, though I haven't managed to get a good picture yet, as my camera blurs when she runs in the wheel...

Will try to get a photo sometime soon though...

R.I.P Lolly ♥

Lolly passed away last night.

She was a great hamster who I will never forget and who I miss so much already.

She was getting ill, (which is why I haven't been blogging as much), and I came back from a week long trip to find her even sicker. (she was being looked after by my parents)

I had a few days with her until last night she passed away.

She was with me when she suffered a stroke. She lost the use of her legs and body and started having difficulty breathing.

It all happened very quickly. The stroke happened and she died 5 minutes later.

She died in her little bed which I won from Inky's giveaway, made by friends4fuzzies. She had only had it for about a week, but already loved it.

She looked so peaceful when she died, and I knew she had had a wonderful life and was now out of her short burst of pain from the stroke.

I took this photo the day before she died. She seemed old but not at all in pain then.

Although I have had hamsters before, I think I had forgotten the pain you go through when they pass away. There is an empty space where her cage should be, and an empty space in my life where I should be playing with her or cleaning her out.

I know the pain will clear, but for now I miss her and can't seem to get over that she's gone.

Thank you to Inky and friends4fuzzies for the bed; I think it really cheered Lolly up before she left us.

♥ Rest In Peace Lolly ♥
