COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS: KCEtsy Team's Great Giveaway! WEEK 4: WINNER'S CHOICE of ANY ITEM IN SHOP from Nonna Illustration & Design!

The KC ETSY TEAM is proud and excited to feature COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS - 18 weeks of wonderful blog giveaways from now until December! Don't miss your chance to win some fabulous free goodies from this very talented team!

WEEK FOUR: Win the item of your choice from Shawna Stobaugh at Nonna Illustration and Design! Shawna has always been an artist, but notes, "I came into my own style just three years ago. I had many people request custom designs and want me to sell them drawings and paintings, so I thought opening a shop was the best way to handle that." Inspired by her own life and the people and animals around her, Shawna's dog, cat, husband and family keep her creative juices flowing. "I have three nephews and two nieces that always spark new and adorable ideas for my illustrations. I try to keep things simple and juvenile. Somethings that will make you smile."

Shawna's favorite item in her shop is the "I Not Fat I Fluffy" poster. "It's been my bestseller and I have even made an alternative color for people to choose from. I made this after someone told me my cat was fat. It made me feel better about the situation. I think what I like making best is something I know a lot of people relate to. I Think the 'I Not Fat I Fluffy' poster really achieved that. I like for not just me to be happy looking at my art, but for others to relate and like it as well."
