Over on Kelly's Korner everyone is sharing what they collect. I thought this would be a perfect time to share how the name "Giraffic Arts" came about!
I have collected giraffes since I was a little girl.
(This is a pastel I did a long time ago.)When I was about 3 or 4, my family went to the LR Zoo & they said all I kept talking about was going to see the giraffes. When we finally got to the giraffe exhibit... there were none there! Mom & Dad said I cried and cried so they took me to the gift shop and bought me a little giraffe. That's where it all began. From then on every birthday and Christmas I always got some type of giraffe. I seriously have hundreds of them. I wish I had a picture of all of them to share. They use to be all decorated in my Mom's den, but they're boxed up for now until I have room for them. I can't wait to have a giraffe room again someday soon :)
My sweet husband actually came up with the name "giraffic arts" when I was thinking of what I could call my little design business... It's definitely me!
Go check out all the other great collections & join in at Kelly's Korner :)

My family and I just went to 52 Zoos in 52 Weeks, and I'm obsessed with giraffes. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. I only have about 10 giraffe things, but I wouldn't mind collecting a couple hundred more. :)
That pastel is gorgeous. Green and blue are my favorite colors. And of course--giraffes!
I'm going to post pics of my little giraffe collection on my blog tomorrow.
