Puppet Makeovers - The Results!

We had a great response to our Puppet Makeover challenge. Click here to see the contest winner and several honorable mention entries.

The winning "before and after" puppet photos were submitted by Carol Keyes of Grayson, Kentucky. Carol and her team transformed a rather plain puppet into a character that overflows with personality!
