The piggie!!! It’s been my nickname since I’ve been little and I’ve grown to love them.. well plus I love pink!
From when I first met Janie, we both had a slight obsession with pigs! How can I not?! It’s my Chinese zodiac 🙂 (and my mom still buys anything pig-related for me!)
Exciting, beautiful giveaway! Thanks, Janie!
My favorite animal is the piggie. because they are so cute and pink (in cartoons) and chubby like Sae. Now if they had a elephant that would beat it out!
I tweeted it and you know my twitter handle (orangemomo01)
It must be a Chinese mom thing, I have so many little pig trinkets, stuffed animals and other knickknacks, I can open up a specialty store!
Too funny! I was on her etsy site last night!! I love her panda card!
My favorite animal has got to be the panda. There was always something striking about the black and white colors of a panda that makes me want to get so many stuffed animals of! o_o
Thank you for the giveaway opportunity! 🙂

So cute! My favorite animal is the flamingo, because they’re pink & weird haha.
Although among those, I love the tiger. My dad’s obsessed with them – there are so many tiger things around the house 🙂
Oh and I just tweeted!
Awesome giveaway. My favorite animal would have to be a dog. They’re so cute and irresistible.
I’m hooked on letterpress!! what a great giveaway – those critters are too cute 🙂 so hard to name a fave animal…but i’m going to go with the koala…loved them when i was a kid 🙂
and i tweeted!!
I tweeted! http://twitter.com/LaurenEC15/status/19745354763
dogs are my favorite animal, I love that they always have such silly expressions.
I entered Janie’s giveaway too!
What a fantastic giveaway!! I love puppies and I think it’s because they just bring so much joy into your life!
Just tweeted, though I tweet on my BB, so not sure how to pull up the tweet url. My twitter name is @maddytweetz
my favorite animal is the squirrel because they’re such good little scavengers and they’re so adorable! they make me smile every time i see them (which is often in maryland).
although, otters are slowly making their way up there. adorable-ness factor is through the ROOF. they hold hands while sleeping so they don’t float away from each other. how cute is that?!?
i also entered janie’s giveaway! :]
So this was a hard choice to pick my fav. animal… Having to go with the cow though, he’s just too sweet looking!
My nickname was mouse for a period of time because of my incessant cheese-eating, but my favorite animal is a bunny – because “They’re SO FLUFFY”. I adore her design of the reindeer though!

oh goodness, just one animal? 🙂
i like elephants. super intelligent, a symbol of wisdom, and they’re pretty creatures.
i also like things that are round and cute, and pigs and hippos come to mind too!
Favorite animal: Duck. They’re just so cute and so sweet. We used to raise ducks and one of them (Gracie – who turned out to be a boy duck) was attacked by a river otter, survived with losing an eye, then was attacked by a dog and almost taken by an eagle. This duck became best friend to everyone in our family 🙂 Weird, but true.

Sandy! They are all so cute, how can I choose?

I’m a cat lover but as all time favs go, I’d have to say Squirrels. While studying for my comprehensive exam, i had a rather sickly little squirrel that would come by and watch me study on the porch. I started feeding it peanuts, crackers and whatever he would eat. it started to get healthier and those of us in the building who regularly saw him named him Nut… He even got brave enough to stand on the window sill with my 4 cats peering at him from the other side of the screen.
I entered her giveaway too! Love this blog-collaborative entry criteria!
Oh these are so cute!!! My favorite animal is a cat because they are (or can be) sweet and lovable but never let you forget that they are the boss. Sometimes I think if my cat were tiger size, I would be dead by now. It’s a good thing she only weighs nine pounds. Thanks Sandy!
I love horses. 🙂 It’s my chinese zodiac animal, so I’ve always loved it.
Just tweeted! @fa11enan9e1

I love puppies! 🙂
I tweeted this http://twitter.com/KrystalS/status/19760158636
I also entered JAnie’s giveaway!
the lil lamb! so pure, sweet and innocent! i love her designs!!
Cats are my favorite…big and small. I’ve always loved them. Guess I’m a cougar at heart. HA! Tweeted about your fab giveaway. Those little birdies are precious!
hmmmmm if i had to choose one..i’d say a panda! bc they’re from china and soooooo cute 😉
j.
I love hippos because of that song – I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.
Blogged over at :: http://lilygrass.blogspot.com/2010/07/we-heart-paper.html
What lovely stationery and I’d love for Janie to send some of her creativity my way as well. 😉 I love cats because they are so cuddly and warm…at least my cat is.
My favorite animal is a dog….the wiener dog (dachshund). I know you don’t have it there, but since you have so many other complicated animals, I’m sure you could make a wiener dog pretty easily. And then you could sell them on ebay and etsy because people LOVE wiener dogs. Seriously, there is a large following for wiener dogs and then think Christmas Cards with a wiener dog wearing a hat…..oh too cute!
Anyway, I love your reindeer.
Awesome giveaway! I recently started blogging (finally, eh?! Haha.) and I’m excited to meet new people and become pen pals with some of the people I meet, so I’ve been on the look out for some cute stationery! And I love this stuff! My favourite animal (besides my dog, Squirt!) is SHEEP! I LOOOOOOOOOOVE sheep. A few years ago when I was taking photography in school I had an assignment where I had to go out and take photos of a pioneer village, and they had a bunch of sheep. I swear I spent the majority of the time just standing beside the sheep and laughing! I love the noise they make! Plus I knit and crochet, so there’s that! Haha. I hope to one day have a sheep farm. I just wanna be a Sheppard and knit/crochet with the wool from my sweet sheep!
I just commented on her blog! (and I apologize for my long rambling comment, haha!)
Think I’m going to have to go with the tiger since I was born in the year of the tiger
my favorite animal (for the moment, anyway. i’m indecisive!) is the pink dolphin!! because…well, i was so excited to find out they actually existed. it’s as if all my lisa frank dreams came true. and okay, it’s just an albino dolphin, but still! it’s PINK! 😀

tweeted! 😀

Love it! I adore pretty paper and pretty stationery.
My favourite animal would have to be a tiger or a lion. I just adore those big cats. They are so fast and powerful. Plus lions are kings of the jungle 🙂
okay, just put a tweet up too.
@RLWicks
SOOO cute! I love them all but I think I like the panda the best. They are the cutest!
I agree with the Queen of the Click – if you added a wiener dog, I’d be ALL over that!
I went to Janie’s blog and entered her giveaway too! Crossing my fingers…
i am partial to the owl. i love how they represent wisdom and have a mysterious quality. moose are another incredibly interesting animal to me, but in real life i am a big cat lover. there’s nothing like having a feline friend for fifteen years.
🙂
xo Alison
I love the owl because it is wise and adorable!
Entered Janie’s giveaway, too.
Monkey…because I’m married to one!
The Panda!! They like to eat and relax and they are just so darn adorable!!

my favorite animal is a dog and more specifically my do mei-mei. she is a shih tzu and the best dog ever : ).

such cuteness! i love dogs because they are my little boy’s favorite animal. whenever he sees when he gets so excited you’d think he’d won the lottery. it makes my heart glad.
today was an insane day at work – so finally i have a minute before bed to enter this sweet giveaway!
my fave animal is a tiger – those orange and black stripes are awesome! yay!!!!
I love giraffes, they’re my fellow vegetarians! I like Janie’s animals as well, so if she doesn’t decide to create a giraffe critter, then I would choose the Hippo because he’s just so darn cute 🙂

my favorite animal is probably the peacock! SO EXOTIC! and so beautiful and different! i love it!

What a great giveaway! I love these cards! ~ I have so many favorite animals, because they are all so cute and amazing little {and big} creatures, but my heart belongs to my cat Blue! I love cats and dogs…and elephants..and hedgehogs..and pigs..and mice..I could go on and on..and sheep..! 🙂
Dogs dogs dogs, cause they are sweet and caring and always mean good.
Thanks Sandy that’s a lovely giveaway!! xoxoxo
My favorite animal would have to be a baby tiger/lion. They are just too cute, and every time I see one on TV I want it! But dogs are my second because they are domesticated.

These are so cute! Favorite animal is the lion – I always tell my two little house kitties that they are cousins with those big awesome cats!
I love jellyfish! They are beautiful and elegant! Although I’ve never been stung by one, so that’s probably why I still love them!
And what an amazing giveaway!!
I love owls and elephants equally.Owls because they are wise and beautiful and full of mystery and elephants because elephants never forget.They are also big,strong and they can cry real tears,.

The pig! Because it reminds me of my pup!
This is just the cutest! I love cats, because i have the sweetest lovebug kitties in the world, lol.

My favorite animal is a llama. I have always liked them since the emperor’s new groove!
Left a comment on janie’s website!
I love the lion and monkey…I know I am selfish to select two but I have a good reason. My older son is always full of energy like any monkey can be…and my younger son loves to roar like a lion. 🙂
My favorite animal is the monkey. Mainly because Cayla (my daughter) thinks she is a monkey but they have always made me smile 🙂
