Up to 430 now - well done! Even though I have a girl I'm going to enter because I think the snail one is adorable and I know she'd love it. Girls are much luckier in that regard than boys aren't they - they can pick and choose from both sides of the gender spectrum much more easily than boys can!

Leah said...

I really liked the backpack and am hoping to give it a try. But am really hoping that I win one so because I am sure that mine wouldn't turn out half as good.
