🐋 Introducing Steemy The Steemwhale - My First Cash And Prize Give...

As lot of you may know I recently was gifted with a 3D Pen from my partner Hive account@ausbitbank, since then I have been going a little craft mad here and I have been busy working away on several projects - while I await my new shipment of filament (hopefully tomorrow).

So far all of the costs have been covered by our steemit earnings, which on it's own is hard to comprehend - because that means it was all made possible from the support we have received from the community.

Without upvotes from my followers and those who've just stumbled upon my post as they browsed, there is no way any of this would have been possible - we owe so much to this amazing community and how they have rallied behind us in any way they can.

So as my own little way of saying thank you to all of my supporters, I have decided to offer my first ever giveaway!

This is just my little way to say thank you to all of those that have supported me along my journey, you helped make this my reality and I want you all to know I truly appreciate it.

When I unveiled my first 3D pen creation I asked my readers what I should attmept to make next time - there was overwhelming support for the next project to be a whale.

Since the suggestion, I have spent countless hours working on Steemy the Steemwhale trying to perfect it - so here he is in all his glory Steemy the Steemwhale!

For your chance to own Steemy the Steemwhale or to enter the competition, simply upvote this post, follow me and comment why you want Steemy or why you think you deserve him or the cash!

As I have become rather fond of Steemy during the time we have been together, I want to ensure he finds himself a safe forever home - so I will be personally choosing the comment I feel deserves and truly wants Steemy as their own (I will also cover the postage costs for Steemy to anywhere in the world).

Now this doesn't mean you can't just enter to win something, I have also decided to have a little competition as well to help spread the love and appreciation around - even to those who know Steemy will have a happier home elsewhere in the universe.

I am also offering 3 X cash prizes to commenters who meet the conditions of entry listed above.

1 X $100
1 X $50
1 X $25

The more creative, funny or interesting comments will receive an extra entry - as an added bonus you can enter multiple times but only quality comments will be included.

When this post closes in a week I will gather all valid entries and use random.org to choose three lucky steemians in addition to Steemy's new mate.

Please feel free to opt out of the Steemy giveaway if you would prefer to only enter the cash competition, this will help me keep track of who want's to be included in the giveaway as well as the competition.

Steemy is heavier than you might expect, he is quite sturdy as well - I chose to make him in a minimalistic style as I am new to this and didn't want to stuff him up.

He isn't perfect (I am rather new at this) but I think he has some serious character and potential of being a Steemy paperweight.

He doesn't have a lot of defining features so when the winner is drawn, they can decide if he gets a set of googly eyes - because everything is more awesome with googly eyes!
