LeeAnn the Lemur!

I got this diva a long time ago and fell in love with her long, stripy tail! (Probably why I like raccoon tail streaks now /silly /j.) I had previously re-named her “Tails” (like from Sonic!!)

I didn’t know until today that she was (technically) a girl! (Disclaimer: Beanie Boos can have any or no gender if you want since they’re just plush toys, but TY does tend to have “canonical” genders for some beanies. At the end of the day, it’s all about fun so it doesn’t really matter either way.)

LeeAnn came out on January 1st, 2017! She has a red swing/heart tag ^-^

Her birthday is December 5th, and her poem reads:

“I like to play with my brother who's older, We roll on the snow hills when it gets colder!”

Take it and go

I have oddly specific memories about buying Sydney. I bought her off of eBay for $15 from somewhere that was like pretty close to my location (like an hour away or maybe a town or two away? Very close.) and I remember her smelling REALLY good after I took her out of the package. Unfortunately, she has lost her scent. (Though in general I have gotten many nice-smelling beanie boos from eBay lmao)

Sydney came out on September 1st, 2015 as a Claire’s exclusive! She has a red swing/heart tag ^-^

Her birthday is November 27th, and her poem reads:

"I am happy all the time, If I have a tree to climb!”

North the Penguin!

(note: I did forget to do Bbotw last week, so to make up for it I’m doing two this week! ^-^)

I got North a few years at a yard sale and his undeniable charm led 10 or 11-year-old me to have him star in one of my beanie boo shows I made! (I made a lot of home movies with my beanie boos when I was younger)

North came out on July 1st, 2014! He has a red swing/heart tag ^-^

His birthday is January 4th, and his poem reads:

“Skating the ice or play in the snow, Watch how fast I really go!”

Slush the Husky!

Today I have both the solid eye and sparkle eyed version of Slush! He originally came out in June of 2009 as one of the very first beanie boos! (Not pictured.) In 2012-2013 when beanie boos got rebranded, Slush acquired his sparkle eyes ^-^

He’s had both a red and purple swing/heart tag depending on the year ^-^

His birthday is April 30th and his poem reads:

Gen 1 (2009): “Snow Wonder!”

Current: "Through wind or sleet or rain or snow, I’ll take you where you want to go!"

Heather the Caticorn!

(I am doing two separate beanies this week bc I forgot to do them last week again 😭)

In an ask I got today I got from @lucs-madness I told a story about my Heathers (which inspired me to make her BBOTW) that will copy-paste here: I have two Heathers, bc like a lot of years ago I lost ine annd couldn’t find her ANYWHERE in my house so I just got a second one to replace her. And then fast forward like 2 years later we’re cleaning out my attic and we find my old heather plush!

Heather came out on June 1st, 2018 and she has a red swing/heart tag ^-^

Her birthday is April 26th, and her poem reads:

“I was a cat when I was born, then I magically grew a horn, l know that this is not the norm, but now l am a unicorn!”

Additional fact: There are two variants of Heather: One with her horn, and one without. I did not know about this second version until today! Her variant poem reads:

“With one eye gold, the other blue, they twinkle when I look at you, I'm the prettiest cat you'll find, with pastel colors all combined!”

Lizzie the Leopard!

I was obsessed with her when I was younger because I saw a beanie boo video with her and fell in love! She came out on October 1st, 2016 as a Claire’s exclusive! She had/has a red swing/heart tag ^-^

Her birthday is September 21st and her poem reads:

“I’m the coolest leopard that you will ever see, And you can always find me sitting in a tree!”

Sophie the Cat!

I’ve had this very much well-loved beanie boo since I was probably around 6 but I’m not 100% sure. I re-names her Blossom and I legit forgot that wasn’t her real name until now 💀 I used to make home movies/shows with my beanie boos and I had one called “Cousins” where Sophie was the stereotypical bratty rich girl fashionista character (very Disney Channel), and I would put American girl doll skirts and bows on her! ^-^

Sophie came out on July 1st, 2015 as a Walgreens + Rite Aid exclusive! She has a red swing/heart tag ^-^

Her birthday is January 13, and her poem reads:

“Meow is what I mostly say, In the yard is where I play!”
