GuineapigWheekly

Hello and welcome to the Guineapig Wheekly Shop! Starting out as a small pet creative blog back in 2015 which I started with my sister Stephanie, the guineapig wheekly soon became a place where I could channel my creativity in unbelievably adorable wheekly exciting ways.

Each illustration I would make to accompany each blog I would write made the day of those who would read it and bringing a smile to many, before long I was asked " Katie can you turn these into a card or mug?". I'd always been a bit of an entreprenuer over the years and so turning my hand to products was a very exciting venture to me and so with a small chunk of my savings I set up my little shop and made my first little range of guinea pig goodies.

What got me so gaga about guineas ?
Well christmas 2014 both me and my sister were delivering christmas cards when our grumpy neighbour shouted after popping his card through the door ... " would you like a guineapigggggg" he shouted. My sister gravitated to the small hutch in his garage and brought back with her two adorable cuties Cookie and Gigi. Of course we had to adopt the little guys. Gigi & Cookie quickly stole my heart and inspired me to create the Guineapig Wheekly UK website ( www.guineapigwheekly.co.uk) to share my illustrations and love of all things piggy.

It's all seemed to grow bit by bit and blossomed into our own line of Guineapig greeting cards, mugs, die cut stickers and charms. We just released our first Colouring Book, called the Magical Colouring Book, illustrated by Katie Leonard. There will be much more to come in hopes of continuing to grow the GPW brand as we go along our journey.

Kate is the illustrator and creative brains behind it all and Stephanie helps make videos, and such, for our YouTube channel.

We love to share our stories and inspire other guinea pig fans. Be sure to let us know what your furry friends mean to you and what you'd love to see more of!
