Donations for Peanut!


Thank you so much to all of you kind folks who have either purchased sticker packs on my Etsy or offered to donate to this cause. I am so thankful that so many people want to help my little fuzz baby!!

To those who have asked to simply donate, I have set up a donation button through my Pay Pal. It shows the title of the fundraiser so that if you do donate an amount, you know it is going to the right place. I am asking that your shipping address be included either in a message or through your Pay Pal because everyone who donates WILL get a special "gift" from Peanut sent to them through snail mail.

If you have any questions or find the button is not working for any reason, please contact me at fartsyarts@gmail.com.

Thank you in advance! You have no idea how much this will help the 'nut!


I would also like to send a shout out to Amanda Levitt for writing about Peanut on her blog Fat Waitress.

You rock!!!!

The Easter bunny is coming!


Tomorrow is the holiday where people are excited for chicks, baby ducks, bunnies and all things SPRING!!!

While most people find all of the above absolutely adorable and irresistible, they are not gifts that can be given away when the cute wears off.

As a bunny owner, I know the commitment it takes to keep a bunny safe, healthy, and happy. Most people don't realize the life span of a healthy bunny is similar to a cat or dog! They can live to be 7-12 + years!!! I had two that lived for 7 years and have known people to have much older rabbits.

Rabbits are wonderful pets full of personality but they do not belong in small cages for the span of their life. They need to and greatly enjoy running and playing, exploring, jumping, and all the fun things MOST animals/pets like to do. Most rabbits do not like being carried around and babied which is what we and almost all little kids want to do. I have seen injured and paralyzed rabbits that was the result of poor picking up and carrying. It is very important to be knowledgeable about rabbits.

Rabbit sanctuaries, humane societies, and pounds see a rise in bunnies and rabbits only a short few months after this holiday.. Please consider other options for children! Some places offer adoptions and sponsorships of rabbits that they keep at their location. This is a much better option for those who want to have a rabbit of their own.

Please spread the word!!! Let's keep these crazy little cute creatures safe, happy, and healthy!!

They will thank you too!

Help the NuT!

It NEVER fails!! When I see this picture it makes me giggle!! This is DEFINITELY something Peanut would do if they were banana cookies. His nose is getting stronger.. I have been eating granola with bananas lately and he has been able to smell them all the way upstairs when I am at the foot of the steps. Crazy!!!

I posted this picture to share some information about Peanut and his eating abilities.

I have noticed that his right side jaw is giving him trouble lately and this means another trip to the vet. While he does not enjoy these trips because they usually result in surgery, it needs to be done, so Peanut fans...I need your help.

I am creating Peanut/bunny inspired artwork/cards/bookmarks (CHEAP!!) in time for Easter and Spring. This Saturday I am participating in Youtique Detroit and I am going to have some of these available and hopefully posted on Etsy very soon. All of the money from selling these items will help Peanut get to the doctor and get him his meds and/or the surgery that I know they will suggest to get rid of any abscess' that have grown back.

I will post the link when they are available. Also you can check out and like my Facebook Fan Page where I post all of my art updates.

Thanks in advance for helping out my baby bunny. He thanks you too with a nose wiggle and a lick!!
