Saying Hello to an Old Friend and her Little Booh!

I was just about ready to shut down the computer and crawl in to bed when an email popped up from a lady who used to adopt my bears "back in the day"!  Jen sent a photo of her little "Kiwi" who was created in 1999 (a year after my bear making began).   I laughed right out loud when I saw her, it was like seeing an old friend!  I cherish my old friends and welcome the new ones.  These are the bear moms (and  dads) who have allowed me to share in their lives throughout the years, beginning a friendship based solely on the simple common thread of a teddy bear.   Bear making has brought me more joy in the past 13 years than I could have ever imagined.  Thank you, dear friends!    xoxo
