Our February New Release Mini:

Spring Joy

My favorite image from today's set is this little grizzly bear. My oldest son turns 16 this month. When he was little we were having a rummage sale at our church. He found a scruffy, rough (scratchy wool) teddy bear. I think I paid less than a dollar for that bear. He loved that bear and carried him everywhere. My son named the bear GRIZZLE FRIZZ. This grizzly bear made me think of the little boy that I used to have. I think I will slip this birthday card into his book bag.

The grizzly bear was colored and cut out. I used hot glue behind him to adhere him, but I let the glue cool a little to add dimension to the bear. He sticks up beyond the background about 1/4 inch.

I felt like sharing this happy feeling song. It makes me tap my feet, and makes me smile. I know you will enjoy! Have a blessed day!!!
