She's Done ~ Yeah !!!!

A very quick post . . . I should be wrapping right now and packing for our trip to Toronto . . .


Little Ms. Bear has lovely glass eyes and a purple Pansy in her hair

A bracelet to hide her plastic surgery . . . . (another story)

You have done a super job with this gorgeous bruin. Real fur is so very hard to work with. I love all her accessories. She looks quite the lady.
