Hey everyone! I was asked to design and sew a custom Itty Bitty for Hallmark, and my design is now up for vote! I would really, really appreciate your support. The Itty Bitty with the most votes will be put into production and sold, which is a huge dream of mine.
It’s important to me that every kid who walks into a toy store is able to find something that is representative of/relatable to them, and this is my small effort into making that a reality.
You can vote once a day for one design per device (phone, tablet, computer, etc) which is a really, really difficult choice, (I love so many of them!) for the next 16 days, and I would love your support to make my mermaid dreams come true.
There are no bonuses or incentives for winning except that little kids (and big kids) all over the country would be able to have something I made.
Photo credits go to the lovely people at think.make.share.
Any kind of signal boost would also be really lovely of you! <3
Thank you!

St. Lois police claimed that Bernard Scott, 44 committed suicide in the jail where he was taken on a minor traffic violation. Actually after detention Scott had abdominal pain and bleeding but police blocked paramedics who were going to take him to the hospital. After Scott lost conciseness with a stiff muscles, cops called another ambulance and told the doctors that Bernard Scott hanged himself. Probably police could get away with it, but Scott survived and recalled everything: “Why would I hang myself? I was in on traffic tickets… the first ambulance driver wanted to take me with him, but the guy wouldn't let me leave.”

Please. Please. Please. Stay away from heroin and meth. Please.
Don’t say “I just wanna try it once, I can control myself.” Don’t say it.
Just please don’t ever do those two drugs. Please.

What happens once you kill yourself? Because I'm ready to go.
You wanna know what happens once you kill yourself? Your mother comes home from work and finds her baby dead and she screams and runs over to you and tries to get you to wake up but you won’t and she keeps screaming and shaking you and her tears are dripping onto your face and your dad hears all the screaming and runs into the room and he can’t even speak because the child that he loved and the child that he watched grow up is gone forever and finally your little sister runs into the room to see what all the fuss is about and she sees you dead. The person she looked up to and loved. The person she bragged about to her friends, the person she wanted to be just like when she grew up, the person that made her feel safe. But she’s never really going to get to grow up and smile and laugh and love because she’ll always be consumed with this feeling of missing you. And now there’s something missing from your family and they can barely look at each other anymore because everything reminds them of you but you’re gone and hurts more than anything. and you think that your mom never cared because she was always busy and yelling at you to finish your homework and clean your room and forgot to say I love you sometimes but really, she loved you more than anything and she doesn’t leave the house anymore, she can’t even get out of bed and she’s getting thinner and thinner because it’s too hard to eat. Your father had to quit his job and he doesn’t sleep anymore, every time he closes his eyes he sees his baby dead, and the image never goes away no matter how much alcohol he drinks. And at school your best friend sees that your seat is empty and she gets this sick feeling in her stomach and that’s when she hears the announcement. You killed yourself. And suddenly she’s screaming and crying in the middle of class and no one even bothers comforting because they’re all busy sitting there staring at your empty seat with tears dripping down their cheeks and all she wants is for you to hug her and tell her it’s gonna be okay like you always did, but this time, you’re not there to do it, everything is dark now that you’re gone and her grades are slipping, she barely goes to school anymore and she ended up in hospital after taking too many pills because she wanted to see you again. the girls who used to make fun of the way you dressed feel their throats get tight, they don’t talk to each other anymore, they don’t talk to anyone, they’re all in therapy trying so hard not to blame themselves but nothing works. and your teacher who always gave you a hard time stares blankly at the wall, she quits her job a few days later. And then your boyfriend hears the news and he can’t breathe, he still calls you a lot just to hear your voice and he talks to you on facebook but you never message him back, he can’t fall in love again because every girl he meets reminds him of you, he’s never going to get over you, he loved you and he cries himself to sleep every night, hating himself and slicing his skin because he couldn’t save you and he’s never going to hold you in his arms or hear you laugh again. Now everyone who knew you, whether they were a big part of your life or someone you passed in the hallway a few times a week, they carry this aching feeling around inside them because you’re gone, and they miss you, and they don’t know why you left but it must’ve been their fault and they should’ve stopped you and they should’ve told you they loved you more and that feeling is never going to go away. And so you killed yourself
but you killed everyone else around you too.
