If you follow us on Instagram, then you’ll already be familiar with Penny. I thought it was about time that she had a formal introduction! Penny joined our family in March 2020 at the same time that Sketch By Sam started up, so she’s been here right from the start. In fact, we picked her up a few days before the first COVID lockdown, perfect timing really... what's not to like about being told to say home when you've just got a puppy!
Penny (Penelope when she's being naughty!) is a Black Cockapoo and was just 8 weeks old when we first collected her. She was one of four pups and we choose her because she had a little white belly and was teeny tiny. One year on, she's got a massive personality but she's still teeny tiny and we constantly get asked if she’s a puppy!
Penny was obviously the inspiration behind our best selling Christmas Decoration, a dog bone which can be personalised with a name! From time to time she also uses her puppy dog charm and models with various products in the range. Below you'll see her posing with the Christmas Ornament and celebrating her 1st birthday with a 3D effect number sign.

Traditions are such a great part of Christmas, and I love hearing about the unique ways that other families celebrate and the different traditions that people look forward to during the holiday season.
Tis the season for gift giving and over here at Sketch By Sam we are a big fan of a personalised gift. We know that finding the perfect gift for friends and family can be a little tricky at times, but that’s why we’re here to help and give you as much gift-giving inspiration as we can to get your Christmas shopping off to a flying start this year.
Can you believe it’s June already? I don’t know about you, but I think this year is absolutely flying by, so much so that I actually started thinking about the dreaded ‘C’ word this week and have started designing some new bits for Christmas 2024!
