    Hello everyone. Can you actually believe that one year has passed since we launched stinkythepig.com? It almost feels as though we clicked a button and blinked our eyes and all of a sudden we are one year ahead and ever so grateful for the opportunity to be writing to you. Many things have happened over the course of one year – some we are super proud of and others that provided invaluable lessons to learn from. So let’s talk about some of the milestones during our journey and reflect upon some of them.

    First off the rank was the arrival of our stinkythepig branded t-shirts that featured some of the more popular illustrations of our beloved pig. Although the t-shirts received a lukewarm reception, we promise we will update them in the near future and offer you a more updated and gobbsmackingly awesome range.

    Next, and probably our most celebrated, are our stinkythepig plush toys. Even to this day our plump and soft stinkythepig finds new homes. We truly hope that they make you as happy as they make us proud. To be brutally honest, we thought that having our own plush toy was too far fetched to even fathom. But this is a great example of dreams coming true and hard work paying off. We received so many compliments that we donated a few to a charity:water fund raising event. We also have 10 that we will be donating to a children’s hospital for Christmas this year. We can’t wait to write about it when it happens.

    We have our HOPE frames as well. I’m going to be a little bias here and say that it still touches my heart each time I look through the magnifying glass and read the side note. It is such a simple concept yet it has a powerful meaning. I still stop and think each time I see the frame I have in my room. Have a read of our post if you have not already done so. That’s all for the physical offerings but we will make sure we let you know when something new is arriving!

    We’ve posted stories and articles and writings about this that and the other so that you all could immerse yourself in content that was enjoyable to read. Looking back it is hard to believe we had written so much. We like to think that there is a smidgen of something useful in our posts that help you, even in the slightest, to laugh that little bit louder. We have had over 10, 000 visitors and hope that as we grow, our fans grow too.

    We look forward to another year of excitement and more tantalising tales of Stinky. More importantly, we wish you joy and sunshine and roses aplenty. Here’s to another exciting year to come. Take care all!

    You can’t choose your family… but you can choose to love them

    Today marks the 75th birthday for my father. Food and cakes aside, you look at a man that has been through war, famine, struggles and triumphs and think to yourself ‘What have I accomplished in this life? What will be my legacy when I leave?’ For my father it is easy enough to list; for me it seems somewhat harder – could it possibly be because I do not have a family of my own? You hear stories of people doing miraculous and in some cases almost superhuman things to protect and provide for their families. I have even heard of a mother lifting a car off of her crushed child. Whether this is the truth or a fictional tale, it’s there to remind us that family is precious. So take the time to tell your parents that you are sorry when the need arises, and show them that you love them when you can. Most times they will act as though it is nothing, but deep down inside you know it makes them happy.

    On another note, Sydney’s weather has been quite unpredictable lately. Could it be because we have been Degenerised? What’s that you ask? Ellen! You know… Ellen Degeneres. Absolutely everyone is on the band wagon. Why not I say! Her contagious smile just makes you want to be happy and dance. Did you know she’s also a vegan? What a great role model.

    So as you are all aware, Stinky has travelled to some awesome locations throughout Asia. But there is so much of the world left for Stinky to see. What we want is your help! Tell us on our Facebook page (or in the comments section below), where in the world you think Stinky should visit next. To make your creative minds work a little harder, the person who suggests the most unique and fitting place for Stinky to visit will receive a plush toy! That’s right. We will post a 30cm stinkythepig plush toy to the person who is the most creative. The only catch is that we ask you to take a photo of yourself and Stinky and post it on our wall. It is that simple. So start thinking guys!

    We’ll leave it here for now. Check back in a fortnight to find out who we picked as the most creative.
