GIVEAWAY: FIRST FRIENDS CUSTOM TOY PORTRAIT

Could you just die? If your baby has a lovie, you understand how this photo melts my heart. That's Clare (the one with the green marker on her face and the shaggy Feral Child from Road Warrior hair) holding "Mermaid" and a portrait of "Mermaid" painted by Erin Chainani of First Friends Custom Toy Portraiture. Even Mermaid sees the resemblance...

Here's what Erin says about First Friends:
First Friends celebrates children's love for their favorite toys. Formerly a Yale-trained NYC-based professional costume designer, I'm now a Miami-based mom of three-year-old twins searching for new ways to stay creative and keep painting. I was inspired to create First Friends after painting portraits of my kids' favorite stuffed animals -- when they saw their paintings for the first time, they jumped around and screamed with joy....and thus First Friends was born. Dollies, stuffed animals, trains, action figures, or even toy garbage cans (seriously - one of my real commissions!) - whatever the toy, kids and adults love to see their favorite first friends memorialized in a unique, hand-painted portrait.

You can choose to order your portrait unframed or custom framed with a white mat and white recycled wood frame. I offer three portrait sizes, with prices ranging from $65 to $165. All portraits are hand-painted in watercolor, gouache and ink on professional-grade watercolor paper. Gift certificates are also available (and are a great option for grandparents, friends, uncles, aunts or anyone else who may not have access to a photo of the special toy). And for kids who have more than one true love, I'll paint multiple toys together in the portrait for no extra charge.

Aren't we going crazy over these portraits!?! I still can't get over the cuteness and I'm so I'm excited to announce that Erin is giving away a Framed 6"x9" custom toy portrait here on Prudent Baby!

Read on to find out how to enter this WORLDWIDE giveaway and see more adorable toy portraits.
Go to Erin's site and peruse the gallery (Mermaid is there!) then come back here. Leave a comment anytime between now and midnight next Wednesday, March 30th. We will randomly select a winner and announce next week. WORLDWIDE!!! Tell us what YOUR favorite toy was as a tot. I was big into Smurfs, like psychotically into Smurfs. For additional entries every day, Stumble, Tweet and Facebook "Like" this giveaway. Leave an extra comment for each.

Good Luck!

Anonymous said...: oh my GOSH this is amazing! Honestly, I'd get one done for my husband so we can finally part with his bedmite-ridden dustfest toy that is tucked away in our closet.; March 24, 2011 at 11:12 AM
Jenn said...: I loved my barbie- we'd go on the weekends to garage sales and it seemed like we were always finding little accessories for her.; March 24, 2011 at 11:18 AM
Tristin said...: I have a matryoshka doll (but not from Russia, it's from Turkey where I lived as a child) that my dad gave to me--and now my little one loves it, too. I imagine it will be passed down through generations, but it would be so neat to have it as a portrait.

It sits on a shelf in my living room, and when my little one asks to play with it, I oblige her. I mean, why should it be only decor?

What a wonderful concept Erin has created.; March 24, 2011 at 11:18 AM
Brianne said...: I've never entered here before, but this one is worth it. My favorite toy was Fox. But my kids have White Bear and Banky.; March 24, 2011 at 11:20 AM
Kristen said...: What a great idea!!! Lily would love a picture of her favorite monkey! When I was little, my lovie was a little white bunny with big floppy ears.; March 24, 2011 at 11:23 AM
Jen H said...: So cute! Both of my girls lovies are striped kitties from bla bla. They would love this.; March 24, 2011 at 11:23 AM
JenR said...: Oh, what an awesome idea! My girl would flip to have a painting of her beloved Moo! Mine was a teddy bear and a quilt that was made by my great-grandmother. I still have both and they still make me feel safe. ;); March 24, 2011 at 11:24 AM
hollymade said...: I had a stuffed puppy that was my favorite toy. I love the pictures of me as a baby smiling brightly at that little puppy. I still have it, and have passed it down to my son. He hasn't latched on to a favorite toy yet, but there are a couple in the running that always go to bed with him.; March 24, 2011 at 11:25 AM
Charlesbcoburn said...: I have wanted to have a portrait of both of my daughter's blankies. I know one day they won't be 'whole' as they are now even with the love they show already but I want the girls to always remember that feeling of a cuddle from something that special.; March 24, 2011 at 11:25 AM
Blue said...: My favorite toy as a child was my 1970s era Barbie Styling Head. :-); March 24, 2011 at 11:25 AM
Anonymous said...: I had WAY too many my little ponies... my niece has most of them now. thanks for the giveaway :-); March 24, 2011 at 11:26 AM
yumi-dude said...: I love it.... It would be great birthday present!! My favorit toy was Snoopys uncle.. I took him everywhere with me... One day I decided to take a bath with him and then he was no longer cuddly..... I was so sad and disappointed.....; March 24, 2011 at 11:26 AM
Kristin said...: Such a sweet idea without worrying about hanging on to the raggedy toy 15 years down the road. Capture it in all it's glory! :)

Love this idea, and Claire's mermaid is so pretty!; March 24, 2011 at 11:26 AM
Stephanie said...: What a fantastic idea! I love all the pictures and the happy kids!
Penelope loves her Bla Bla dolls too. She has Mrs. Fox, which she thinks is a cat and call her Mow, Mow. Two mermaids and a monkey. She likes to line them up, and hand them to me one by one so I can nurse them.

I had lots of pound puppies as kid, loved them!; March 24, 2011 at 11:30 AM
Cate Lindsey said...: HA! I love the toy garbage cans. Kids are so original!
My favorite toy when I was young was a terrycloth bunny my grandmother sewed me. She actually made me a whole family of them, but one was really special to me. My stepmom found it in the attic years after I'd moved out, and gave it back to me at my wedding. Very sweet.

My son (just turned 2 on Tuesday!) doesn't have a favorite toy. He's been nursed on demand all along so his favorite source of comfort is, um, not the kind of art Erin does. If I win, I have twin nephews who would just *die* for an ironman portrait!; March 24, 2011 at 11:31 AM
Timmi said...: Absolutely perfect! I was lucky enough to bring along my daughter's 1st lovies as a baby and the photographer did a wonderful job incorporating them. She set them up to have a tea party and it such a precious picture! I would love to do this with her new lovies though!; March 24, 2011 at 11:31 AM
Timmi said...: Oh I guess I was supposed to tell about my own lovie ha it was scrappy dog that looked like a rabbit with a long tail. Still have him and no touches him!; March 24, 2011 at 11:33 AM
Naomi said...: I still treasure an adorable purple knitted bunny my mother made when I was a baby; all the more special to me (along with many other things she made for my and her first grandchild) since she passed away 2 years ago.; March 24, 2011 at 11:34 AM
Naomi said...: Oops - "for me" not "my"; March 24, 2011 at 11:34 AM
Lynda said...: Oh I love this idea- my baby's "Roar" would be such a great picture. Thanks for the giveaway.; March 24, 2011 at 11:35 AM
Wendy said...: Those are so sweeet! My fav when I was a girl, was a little babydoll that had a string pul - she said things like I love you, I'm hungry, night night - I loved her. And now my daughter has her!
My daughter's real favorite is a little blankie, but if I asked her, she'd probably shove all her stuffies in a pile and have them all painted. That actually might be cute - a portrait of a pile of stuffies!; March 24, 2011 at 11:38 AM
Stephanie said...: Ooooh, I need this! I have a 32 year old Grover doll that would make a great painting. He even went to basic training with me when I joined the ARmy. :o); March 24, 2011 at 11:39 AM
Jennifer Mulvihill said...: What a great idea! Both of my boys have special lovies. My oldest has Lammy, who would be perfect for such a talented artist! When I was little I loved Cabbage Patch dolls...with handmade clothes, of course!; March 24, 2011 at 11:39 AM
Veronica said...: My son (now 9 years old) has a bunny that he still sometimes sleeps with and it looks like it's been chewed up, spit out, and run over, oh wait, it has. I would LOVE a picture of "Bunny".; March 24, 2011 at 11:41 AM
Amanda said...: My Cabbage Patch Kid (circa 1984) was my best friend since I was 1 year old. Her name was Star Zeena. I kid you not, it was on her certificate of authenticity. :-) She had my hair and eye color, and wore a grren gingham romper. Now my 8 month old little girl owns her, and loves her just as much; March 24, 2011 at 11:42 AM
EG said...: What a great idea! My son's "Puppy" has started to wear out so it'd be great to have him immortalized this way. :)

Wondering if "'Creepy Baby' for Ree, a grownup" is for Ree Drummond.; March 24, 2011 at 11:44 AM
Meadowlark said...: I don't personally have a favorite toy :( So I guess my favorite is my son's old favorite, ET or perhaps daughter's Lil' Foot. They both hang out in the basement bar (no drinking, they're just babies) and keep us company to this day.

:); March 24, 2011 at 11:51 AM
Kristen said...: So adorable! My son's cheetah would be perfect portrait 'material'.
My favorite toy has always been a cradle my grandpa carved for me. He died when I was 3, so I cherish the link to such a special man. After grabbing my kids, it would be the first thing I took out if our house was burning (heaven forbid). In fact, it would be a great subject for a portrait, too!; March 24, 2011 at 11:52 AM
Abbykins said...: My favorite toy was a little lamb that would play Mary had a Little Lamb when you wound it up... After a while however, the song sounded a little more sad than sweet!; March 24, 2011 at 11:56 AM
Anonymous said...: My Dukes of Hazzard race track. I was a hardcore Bo Duke fan. Okay, I still am.; March 24, 2011 at 11:59 AM
Catherine said...: My favorite lovey was a well-worn Winnie the Pooh. My son cuddles with a panda bear that I owuld love to see as a portrait. What beautiful pieces - - and a unique idea, too.; March 24, 2011 at 12:02 PM
Unknown said...: My favorite toy as a child was a stuffed brown bear named "Radar" after Radar O'Reilly on M*A*S*H.
I love the idea of a portrait commemorating the favorite childhood toy. My little girl's stuffed besty is Sailor Babo from the UglyDoll universe.; March 24, 2011 at 12:05 PM
Krista said...: Probably a Cabbage Patch doll.... My favorite was a brown-haired girl in a red dress. I think she came with the name Tina.; March 24, 2011 at 12:06 PM
Ashley said...: My favorite toy was "Beary" the Bear. Yeah, original, I know. But I still have him, and he is still just as precious as when I accidentally left him on top of the pet zoo feeding box and cried hysterically the entire 10 miles back to the zoo to get him (don't worry - he was still there. With about a gazillion geese swarming him wondering what the crap he was doing on their birdseed).; March 24, 2011 at 12:08 PM
Unknown said...: Love these - such a sweet, artistic tribute to cherished toys!

My favorite toy was a tiny stuffed bear - I still have him, although he's showing his age a bit (who isn't?!).

:); March 24, 2011 at 12:09 PM
Kelly said...: I honestly did not have a toy I was particularly attached to as a kid but my 4 year old sure does! "Zagawa" is a stuffed baby penguin that she got on a trip to the zoo at the beginning of her (now going on 2 year) penguin obsession! She could identify all 17 species at age 2-no kidding-and may seriously become a marine biologist one day!!!:) she would adore a picture of her buddy "Zagawa!" thanks for offering this giveaway and letting us know about this ingenious business!

eboot camp test said...: Too cute! We just celebrated our daughters 1st birthday party with a theme surrounding her favorite toy Mr. Waddles (Ty beanie penguin with HUGE eyes) we had pictures of him all over and even did some iron-on crafting and made t-shirts of him for all the family to wear :)

Jade said...: I love this! I had a bear that was white (bad choice) and strangely had no neck. Not sure if it stretched out from love or never had one in the first place. My oldest's love is Geoffrey, a little stuffed giraffe they stuck in her bassinet in the hospital, and became her favorite from the start. How fun to have a portrait of him, and what a sweet idea. jadelovesbrynn (at) yahoo [dot] com; March 24, 2011 at 12:24 PM
Jenn/hippygoth said...: My true toy love was my blankie that I wore to a shred (and then it disappeared!) but second would have been my Cabbage Patch Kid, Lynnea Francoise. I gave her away to a boyfriend in high school, and if I could give my daughter one piece of advice, it would be to keep her Tigger and save him for herself. Right now they are inseparable.; March 24, 2011 at 12:24 PM
Rachel Santos: said...: My favorite toy was a talking, Teddy Ruxpin.; March 24, 2011 at 12:30 PM
Sweet Simplicity said...: This is such a cute idea!!!! My daughter has a wocket (Dr. Seuss) that she loves it would be so cute in a picture!

My fvorite toy was a bunny that my great great grandma made for me. I still have it and it's in perfect condition.; March 24, 2011 at 12:38 PM

Taylor {Sew Much Love} said...: My favorite toy was my cabbage patch kid. Those were the best!; March 24, 2011 at 12:42 PM
sarah said...: I had a teddybear with a jingle bell in his ear, originally called 'Jingle', my mum said she always knew if it was me that had got up as he jingled as I walked. My daughter is 9 in Ma and her favourite is a soft baby doll she picked up in a shop when she was about 7 months old, she cried when I tried to put it back, it has been with her everynight since, has had holes patched and has received a new head, we found a boy version, but baby's head is inside, so it is still her, bless my little Charlotte for that.I know she would cry with happiness at receiving a picture of her Baby.
This is a lovely giveaway x; March 24, 2011 at 12:43 PM
Tamara said...: My favorite lovie was a soft blankey but I can't stop thinking about my 4 year old and the incredible bond he has with DoDo. (Yes, you read right) This bear means the world to him! What a beautiful way to preserve his memory! Great work.; March 24, 2011 at 12:44 PM
Megan said...: My favorite "lovey" was a little teddy bear named Bobby, or "Young Robert" according to my dad. My daughter, on the other hand is in love with a little lamb named...Lamby.; March 24, 2011 at 12:50 PM
Amy said...: Growing up, my stuffed toy penguin was my best friend! He went everywhere with me, patiently listened whenever I needed to vent about being a kid, and kept all my secrets.; March 24, 2011 at 12:54 PM
Tiffany said...: How cute are these?! My two children both have multiple stuffed toys/dolls that they love, but could definitely narrow down to their favorite ones! I was into barbies as a child.; March 24, 2011 at 12:56 PM
Amy said...: I love this concept of remembering a favorite toy in art. So cool!!

Colleen said...: I was obsessed with cabbage patch dolls...and still have them in a box at my mother's house somewhere...waiting to be played with again!; March 24, 2011 at 1:10 PM
Rachel said...: My favorite was my purple puffulump. I still have her and I'm 24. And I have a husband and a son. She's missing one nostril. Yeah, it may be time to let her go, but I just can't do it.; March 24, 2011 at 1:11 PM
kalliejenn81 said...: I used to looooove My Little Ponies...I'd brush their hair and give them baths!; March 24, 2011 at 1:14 PM
Luch said...: My favorite toy was my Cabbage Patch Doll, Michaela. I swore that when I was older I'd name my daughters Michaela, but alas (ha ha), I chose Katie and Sam for names instead. They both still play with this doll at Grandma's house. Sam has a particular favorite toy, also a blabla, that she adores and will not sleep without. Art commemorating "Dolly" would be so cute! =) Thanks for the chance!
Heather; March 24, 2011 at 1:18 PM
kelly said...: I didn't have a favorite toy or doll that I remember. My daughter on the other hand has a few special babies she loves. That would be great to capture in art. :); March 24, 2011 at 1:41 PM

Cori said...: Love Love Love...so great!

My "lovey" was a snoopy looking dog named "Dumb Dog".; March 24, 2011 at 2:03 PM
the Schmidts said...: this is a great idea! My 3yr old has a toy doggie that he has named "Bobby" - and he talks to him like he's real and he sleeps with him at night... Bobby is his best friend. Thats what I would have done.; March 24, 2011 at 2:04 PM
Shannon said...: My favorite toy as a child would have to be handmade stuffed dolls from my mom's cousin. I played with them more than any store bought doll. This is a SUPER idea. My daughter's Baby (beloved since birth) is not holding together all that well (even after multpile visits to Mommy's Surgery and Repair Center. Beautiful work and so creative. Straight from a Mommy's heart!; March 24, 2011 at 2:09 PM
Karen said...: This is an amazing idea! It's a perfect way to immortalize that loved toy and the warm and fuzzy feelings it brings. It's a great way to show your own children what your favorite toy was as a child. Even more so, it's ideal for cutting down on clutter when Mom just can't get rid of *any* of your favorite toys!

I had a handsewn doll that my aunt created to look just like me. Her name was Tootsie (which, incidentally was my nickname). She's not as beautiful as she used to be, and I'd love to have a portrait of her so that I can confidently give her to my daughter to love as much as I did, without the fear that Tootsie might be totally destroyed!; March 24, 2011 at 2:12 PM
Crystal said...: awww what a cute idea!!! My Henry has a lovie that should be remembered forever!!; March 24, 2011 at 2:19 PM
Tyler & Katie Rice said...: I was def a teddy bear girl. and I think this is such a great idea!; March 24, 2011 at 2:23 PM
Jenny said...: ah, what a cute idea! I loved my blankie as a child and embarrassingly, still have it in my closet. But I also loved anything to do with crafts. I referred to them as my "studies".; March 24, 2011 at 2:25 PM
Hollandra said...: Does anyone remember Poochie from the 80's? I still have a ton on my old toys that my daughter now plays with-care bears, barbie, strawberry shortcake, cabbage patch, and more- yes, we saved it all! All except Poochie, the pink poodle. How I miss her. I often tempted to buy another one on ebay for myself. She was awesome and I'm sad that my original one did not make it into the "save" pile.

My 4year old totes around a bassinet crib sheet called "Sheet" and a leopard named Jasper. To have those framed, oh she would love it!; March 24, 2011 at 2:27 PM
Susan said...: I liked this doll called "my child" that was supposed to look like my kid would look like (it actually kind of does!); March 24, 2011 at 2:40 PM
L. Hansen said...: This is the cutest idea EVER! How is it that no one thought of this before?! My favorite toy in the whole world is still my incredibly old sheep dog puppet Henry. He is made by the folktale company and so is a full bodied stuff animal that is also a puppet. I still remember carrying him around the airport when we moved from NY and having people think I was carrying a real sheepdog puppy!; March 24, 2011 at 2:40 PM
Catherine said...: I love this idea! My favorites from childhood were a brown pound puppy and an ABC blanket.; March 24, 2011 at 2:47 PM
Catherine said...: Liked on Facebook too!; March 24, 2011 at 2:47 PM
Emily said...: Even though I often play second-fiddle to my son's lovey, it would be wonderful to have a custom portrait of it! (Just hoping she would ignore all of the stains on it). :); March 24, 2011 at 2:51 PM
Belinda said...: Loved my Skipper dolls.; March 24, 2011 at 2:54 PM
jeni said...: Oh this is awesome! My daughter has 2 toys that she is in love with - her Curious George and her kitty she calls "Meow". I would so love this for her!! Thanks for the chance!; March 24, 2011 at 3:14 PM
Dakota said...: I played with playdoe. And I played make believe. And I made art and rode my bike. That was my fun. No actual toys that I remember loving. Lol. It makes me kinda sad. But I still have some paintings from kindergarten. :); March 24, 2011 at 3:15 PM
jeni said...: liked on Facebook!; March 24, 2011 at 3:15 PM
Kristin said...: I am dying here....adorable. I hope I win, I hope I win! And, I gasped when I saw the photo of "Lala" because that is my daughter's lovey (well, hers is called "Lamby" but its the same toy).

When I was a girl, I had my "Teddy Blue Feet", a little teddy bear with a bell in his ear. I loved him so much I rubbed the fur off his feet and the stuffing started to come out. So my mom sewed a bit of one of my first dresses onto his feet as patches--and thus was born Teddy Blue Feet. My daughter loves playing with him today as well. If I win, I might even just have him painted.; March 24, 2011 at 3:17 PM
bybido said...: I had a doll named Jenny that I loved!; March 24, 2011 at 3:24 PM
Sarah said...: Absolutely, drop dead GORGEOUS! What a fabulous idea! My two-year-old daughter Lily is obsessed with her dolls - my only problem would be choosing one or two out of eight favourites! Oh how she (and I) would love to win this! Good luck everyone!; March 24, 2011 at 4:00 PM
Erin Snow said...: So sweet! My favorite toy was a giant doll named Big Baby . . . Looke very similar to the Toy Story 3 big baby actually!; March 24, 2011 at 4:11 PM
Carol F said...: Mine was a monkey named Zip. He has a squeaky thing in his arm and is holding a banana. I chewed the end off the banana, of course!; March 24, 2011 at 4:12 PM
kim said...: Mine was a garishly pink stuffed elephant called Ellie. Somehow amongst all that pink, and the girls name, he was a boy elephant. I remember many times sitting in the laundry watching him go around and around in the tumble dryer after my mum had washed him in the washing machine (the price he paid for sticking by me through thick and thin, vomit and tea parties, mud and first aeroplane rides). He was a great best friend.; March 24, 2011 at 4:23 PM
Stacy said...: My absolute favorite toy growing up was anything My Little Pony. I even had a mini purse to carry my friends around with me everywhere I went!; March 24, 2011 at 4:37 PM
Stacy said...: shared on facebook! :); March 24, 2011 at 4:37 PM
Aura said...: My bear on fire (grey bear and pacifier)! In almost every picture I have from my childhood from newborn to age 6 I have my bear and fire. when I got married my husband threatened to throw out whats left of my bear so it's tucked away in a safe place in my mom's house but I would love a picture of him for my kids room; March 24, 2011 at 4:42 PM
JoyandTren said...: This is a wonderful idea.
My favorite toy growing up was a patchwork cat that my babysitter stitched for me. I had it until I got married. I miss it now! :(
My daughter has a bunny, well 3 of the same one now, she can't go to sleep without it. What a precious idea.; March 24, 2011 at 4:49 PM

suzy said...: I loved a bear my grandma made me that wore a plaid dress. I called her plaid bear.; March 24, 2011 at 4:56 PM
kimpo76 said...: My 5 year old was just asking if I could find her another "Piggy", which they no longer manufacture anymore. She's old enough to know that Piggy was replaced once and then she lost him again, but even a year and a half later she is still asking about him and tearing up when she talks about losing him. It would be awesome to get a fancy painting of Piggy for her! She currently sleeps with MY lovey from childhood - a GIANT, not-so-soft-anymore floppy bunny that my parents brought to me in the hospital when I had my tonsils out.; March 24, 2011 at 5:14 PM
faith drobinski said...: I loved my purple Popple and my Pound Puppy. Those 2 got me through a childhood with 4 brothers and no sisters. What a great idea to have a painting as a keepsake. Sometimes the toy itself gets quite ratty after a long period of time, but this is a great way to keep it in your memory forever. ANd when they get older, I 'm sure they will smile every time they look at it and think of all the great memories they had with it.
My son would be the one to ask for a painting of the trash cans.
But seriously, that creepy baby picture was really creepy.; March 24, 2011 at 5:23 PM
Laura said...: Elizabeth the cabbage patch doll was my favorite. She was part of the 1st wave of dolls back in the 80's and I had every accessory possible for her as well as a fabu wardrobe hand-sewn by my mom. She is still up in the attic of my childhood home because I just can't let her be thrown away!; March 24, 2011 at 5:37 PM
Aubrey Rose said...: Very cool! When I was 2 years old (eccck... 34 years ago) I was given a Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal that was made for me and was totally my lovie. I still have my Poo and gave it to my 2 year old daughter last year. It's so neat to be able to see her doing things that I loved to do when I was her age.

Thank you so much for this great give away offer.; March 24, 2011 at 5:38 PM

Kelly said...: This is an amazing idea! I love how being a mommy can bring so much creativity. My own daughter hasn't quite hit the age where she is attached to anything, however growing up I had a teddy bear that my big brother gave me for my birthday right before he went off to college, I was in first grade, I LOVED that bear and I always had a little part of my big brother around.; March 24, 2011 at 6:18 PM

Walking Through Fire said...: So cute! I would have never thought of making a portrait of a favorite toy, but it's such a good idea, because heaven knows that if it's a true favorite it won't last ;) I had plenty favorites when I was young. One fav was a stuffed platypus and my younger brother also took it under his wing...by the end, poor platypus had not stuffing and a broken neck ;); March 24, 2011 at 8:16 PM

Jessica said...: Could these be any cuter? OMG. My 5 month old already has a favorite doll. My favorite was a stuffed bunny with glow in the dark stars on her. Her name was Sparklins lol. I was 11 or 12 when our new puppy chewed her up and I cried even then! She was so raggedy and old and I was far past dragging her everywhere with me but I was still sad to loose that part of my childhood; March 24, 2011 at 8:41 PM
Unknown said...: I had a little blue bear that l use to sleep next to his now worn and old but he sits on my chair still. When my grandmother died my boyfriend now husband Adam bought me a teddybear called fudge. He had floppy legs and arms that you just hugged into. It has now become the family bear and poppy my 15 month old loves to have her bedtime song sung to her, her dolly sally and fudge the teddy each night before she shuts her eyes at night.

Mary Teresa Israel West said...: This is so sweet. My grandmother made sock monkeys for both my boys and I would love a picture to commemorate them before they're utterly destroyed by toddler affection...

My favorite, by far, portrait that Erin has done is "Puff" for Charlie. Just darling!; March 25, 2011 at 9:35 AM

Lotte Lu and Brother Too said...: I had a cute baby alive doll that was given to me when my little brother was born. His very imaginative name was "Big Boy".

Pinkie and Family said...: I shared on FB!; March 25, 2011 at 10:00 AM
Rochelle said...: This is such a sweet idea! My favorite toy was my cabbage patch doll, Irene Pauline. I dragged that doll everywhere I went! Needless to say, I got her quite dirty and when my dad tried to wash her, the drier cut huge gashes into the back of her plastic head. My grandma crocheted her a pink and white dress with matching bloomers and my great grandma patched up the holes in her arms and legs over the years. My mom still has her "birth certificate" - remember those? I still have her, and she's all sorts of tattered and patched, but I love it. Those patches and scratches are the marks of a well-loved toy and she serves as a connection to my childhood and the people I loved when I was little. I would love to get one of these for my husband. He had a teddy bear named John (my husband is a Jonathan, or Jon for short, so he named the bear John with an "H"- funny kid) when he was a kid. I guess his mom decided one day that he was too old to play with toys so she told him to box them up for good will. In his anger at her, he boxed up John, too. A few weeks later she asked him where his bear was and he said "you told me to get rid of my toys," to which she replied "I didn't mean John!" To this day he still misses that bear (and resents his mom for being the impetus) - I tried to buy him a new white teddy bear for our anniversary one year, but it just wasn't the same. We're trying for our first baby right now and I'd love to get a portrait of John and Irene Pauline for the nursery. I think that would be such a sweet way to connect the generations!; March 25, 2011 at 10:04 AM
Heather @ Camp Slop said...: Oh my, I love this giveaway!!!

My favorite toy as a kid was my Care Bear and it warms my heart to see my oldest daughter with HER care bear lovey.; March 25, 2011 at 12:47 PM
CycloneMomma said...: I had a stuffed dog named Suzie. A lady at our church made her for me right before my family moved to Mexico. Suzie had "lasix" before it was fashionable, and many episodes of "facelifts" and "collagen fillers" courtesy of my mom.

Suzie is quite the traveler having gone to 6 countries, 14 states, and three universities. She currently sits in her place of honor on the bookshelf in my daugther's room.; March 25, 2011 at 12:47 PM
jessica said...: Yes PLEASE! I had a plaid teddy bear that had a big red felt heart on it when I was young. Someone made it for my Mom's baby shower, and it is so well made! No stuffing in bunches, no eyes missing, she was a crafty lady. Can't wait to make one for my own!!!; March 25, 2011 at 12:52 PM

Julia said...: This is the best giveaway yet!! My daughter would absolutely freak out to see her "foof foof" (stuffed dog) and her teddy bear in a portrait! My favorite toys when I was younger were my twin baby dolls (boy & girl) that I named Sonny & Fluffy and my doll, Abigail, who is still missing an arm even after my grandmother sewed it back on about 10 times (teaching me to sew in the process) I loved her so much that I named my daughter, Abby!; March 25, 2011 at 2:38 PM
Genoa Photo said...: My favorite toy as a child was a curly-haired doll I named Zachary. I sent Zachary along with my dad on a trip and it got left behind in a hotel. I am still sad 30 years later!

She feels like a member of the family because she goes everywhere with us!; March 25, 2011 at 2:39 PM

rachel said...: Wow, I don't even remember what my favorite toy was as a kid! There were a lot of us kids and we liked alot of things but didn't get many of them. But I remember when I was old enough to read staying up every night with a book and a flashlight so I didn't wake up whatever sibling was on the top bunk. :) I think it would be adorable to get a portrait done of my 10yo daughter's dolly that she loved to pieces.; March 25, 2011 at 3:06 PM
Aussie-merican Adventures said...: I had a giant stuffed dog named Lisa. After years of taking her to school 'read-a-thons' (to use her as a pillow), slumber parties (also for a pillow), and just dragging her around the house she turned into a giant matted furball with no discernible features... But I still loved her! My daughter is still just a baby but I can already see that she's picked out a favorite toy! I hope her and her bunny have the same great relationship as me and my 'Lisa' dog did!; March 25, 2011 at 3:52 PM

Anonymous said...: My lovie was a little teddy bear with a brown body and a white belly. He is 32 yrs old and is still alive and well. My daughter is 5 yrs old and has re-named him Brownie and is a favorite teddy of hers.

TracyMB @ Crows Feet Chic said...: What warm & fuzzy subject matter!! My favourite toy was my Barbie Country Camper (circa 1973) which DD still plays with alongside her 2010 version. Our favourite stuffy may be the little Curious George she received at 3 months. We'd stuff it in with her in the jolly jumper - he's probably still dizzy.; March 26, 2011 at 8:05 AM
Joe said...: I had Bernard, the mouse from "the rescuers". My daughters each have a stuffed animal, dragon and alligator, that we took pictures of with them each month for the first year. It was so fun to see them grow with their best friend. They still sleep on the bed with the girls, 7 and 9 years later. Kim; March 26, 2011 at 11:02 AM
Regan said...: What a fabulous artist! I absolutely LOVE the mermaid featured. As a child I was attached to Big Bird, who when I first acquired him, was larger than I was! LOL My baby girl, Lindsay, is just 9 months old so she is not truly attached to any one item in particular, but she definitely gets really excited everytime she sees her pink Silly Buddy Bunny. So cute!; March 26, 2011 at 3:38 PM
Babes Mami said...: My favorite was my cabbage patch doll and my mother had purchased tons when they came out (I don't know why) and she came across a blonde haired/blue eyed cabbage patch in storage and sent it to me while I was pregnant and it's funny because my blonde haired/hazel eyed boy has been attached to that baby since he was a few months old!

Shirley said...: She is an amazing artist, I love how she puts the age of the toy owner with each piece in the gallery. :) My favorite toy as a child was my bicycle. I remember longing for one so badly (we were pretty poor) and when I finally got one I just rode all the time - it was my freedom and I never felt so good as when I was riding my bike.; March 26, 2011 at 7:03 PM
Anonymous said...: Oh dear, the Creepy Baby on her site is ... er ... creepy!

My favourite toy? I had an Annie that my mother's friend gave me when I was born. Annie is still around, her face is slightly (ok, more than slightly) on the dirty side, her legs are different than the rest of her (my sister tried to grab her from me when I was in our babysitter's arms, luckily we had a family friend who made Raggedy Anne dolls who could replace the legs that tore off (sniff) in said grab.
I wonder what Jack's favourite toy will be :) He is only 9 weeks old, right now it is mommy since I'm the milk machine!; March 27, 2011 at 2:30 AM

Katie said...: My favorite toy was a large wheat-colored stuffed dog with dark brown ears that I named Star. He was a Christmas present when I was 5. I wanted to name him "Starlight" but my grandma said it was too long and I'd forget it. I shortened it to "Star" but never forgot his full name.

He was the "star" of my kids playroom, until they got a little rough. My 2-year old boy ripped off his nose and Star started leaking fluff. I wish I'd seen this painting site before I sadly tossed him in the trash (he was 28 years old!). I would have had him painted and kept my star pic forever. :(; March 27, 2011 at 5:06 PM
