Happy Australia Day! I don't have anything Australian in my collection so I had to go to the world wide web this morning.
I Went with a koala for this challenge because when I was a kid I had a beach towel that was white with a koala bear on it and the words "Hi There!". But one day I brought it to a friend's pool party and accidentally brought home someone else's white koala bear beach towel. Mine was better. I have no idea whose koala beach towel I have, but believe it or not thirty years later I still have that towel.
My towel has a parrot on it, but I decided that I wanted my bird to be a kookaburra, so I colored him that way even though he's not kookaburra shaped.

I have a towel from San Diego zoo with a koala, which my half-sister sent me years ago...with your story in mind I'll continue to take care that I don't go off with somebody else's koala instead because I really like mine. I think your parrot in kookaburra colours is just marvellous, great idea. I'm loving all the koalas coming out to play today because as a child I only had one teddy-bear but about 5 koalas.

Oh I can only imaging you losing that towel and still remembering you have someone's towel all these years later. Super adorable Koala and love your amazing coloring of him too.

I'm sad you lost your towel and amazed you still have the other towel.... If your towel was half as cute as your card I'm sure you treasured it. This is adorable Jen...
