I was on Pinterest the other day and became OBSESSED with the idea of doing one of these.  I just love them so much!  My favorites are the ones from Sophie and Lily (#1) and the last one (#4) by my girl Linda of Little Tin Soldier through her Etsy page Though Very Humble.  I've been looking at Linda's illustrations for years through her style/lifestyle blog and the fact that she offers to do a portrait illustration makes me swoon a little.  I just need someone who can make my Seamus puppy look like Seamus and not like some other dog.  He's unique.  I see it.  A tall order.
