Happy New Year! Jan. 2011 Hound in the Header

The Etsy Beagles Team would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Our hound in the header, celebrating the birth of 2011, is Daisy Mae. Daisy belongs to team member Daisy Mae Designs. The photo was actually taken at Daisy's birthday party, but Daisy looks ready to ring in the new year, too! Everyone is invited to check out our Etsy Beagles flickr group page to see more photos of our team's pups! The link is in the sidebar. The Beagles Team wants to thank all our followers, and we hope everyone has a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2011!

We Have A Winner!

First of all, I want to apologize for not showing Flash (my beagle) using the "beagle does a nose-dive for a snausage treat in a bowl with voters names on slips of paper" method of choosing the winner. It was 4Pm when I tried, and I think it was one of the darkest winter days in Ohio history! None of the photos of Flash came out, but I did manage to get a dreary photo of the winning slip! Congratulations beadsoul! You are the winner of a Whimsy Tree of your choice from my MsAnomaly Etsy shop! Please contact me through an Etsy convo via my shop, so I can get your mailing address and learn which tree you chose! I'd like to thank all who voted in the Happy Howlidays team challenge. Please check our blog for our next team challenge (end of Jan./beginning of Feb.) MsAnomaly and the Etsy Beagles

December Hound in the Header!

Dashing through the snow is our Etsy Beagles team's Turtle Bean! Turtle belongs to team member bluedogrose, a very talented artist and author! Turtle Bean is leaping for joy to extend happy holiday wishes to everyone, and he wants to remind our blog readers to post your vote in our upcoming (Wow - starts tomorrow, in fact!) Happy Howlidays Beagles team challenge/blog giveaway!
