I'm soooo excited to tell you about this wonderful company called
DoodleHugs!
I was contacted by the owner and crafter of these awesome huggable creations, Karon.
Here is a little awesomeness about Karon.
Hi I'm Karon...
Your child's artwork is my inspiration to craft a soft, huggable
toy. I will reproduce the design as close as possible using colorful
soft fabrics. These custom made soft toys are one of a kind.
I have been a crafter for over 30 years. My
hobbies are crafting, sewing and crocheting - usually with my own
designs. My craft designs have been featured in national publications.
I have made numerous toys for children and I love seeing them smile with that first big hug.
All DoodleHugs are proudly made in the USA.

My Opinion-
I think this idea is so frickin' AWESOME! I am artistic and I can proudly say that I handed down the art gene to Kat! She and I are always doodling or crafting. I still have art work from my youth, I knew I kept them for a reason, to show her where she got her talent from! Ok, we may not be the best artists in the world but, to us we are frickin' Leonardo da Vinci's LOL
The night I got the email from Karon and showed Kat, she was like a little printing press at the kitchen table with her art pad and crayons.
Katie's current fascination
Zombie girl
(From the mind of Katie)
Kat had a very hard time choosing which one to have Karon make for her.
I told her to go with what is fun and exciting!
So she choose the Zombie girl!!
Which was a fabulous choice! Zombie girl is so adorable(I love the mind of my Kat) She has such a wonderful imagination!
Here is the finished product!!
Kat Loves her Zombie girl!!
We are so very impressed with the details and craftsmanship, if you notice on the photos Karon even made the bite chunk from Zombie girls side, Karon is amazing!
I highly recommend checking her website out and bringing your children's art to life!!
