My philosophy is that if they can't run with the big dogs then they deserve to fall apart. :) But if they do fall apart, I'm sorry, and I'll make you another one. :) As for Etsy...eh...I like making things for family. Someday when my kids go off to school and I have nothing to do at home, I'll think about it.<br /><br />@Teresa: Yeah, I drew these out, and today I started doing some of the doodles I've posted up here in the past. I'm glad I'm finally figuring out a way to use them!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733559271848774694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14064784.post-77989343570454862010-02-25T16:40:51.505-06:002010-02-25T16:40:51.505-06:00Wow, those look awesome!

I've got one in the laundry basket ready for the wash next... any special instructions!?!?<br /><br />In all of the bday hulabaloo, an adequate thanks was probably not given... these towels are awesome, and Ian loved talking about the whale at his bath the other night.
