Laura's Teddy Bear Picnic



In memory of our dear friend, Laura, who passed away last September we hosted a teddy bear drive the last two weeks of February at the yarn shop. We successfully collected 245 bears - they are being donated to Highline Medical Center's ER were each bear will find a new home.

Today the kids and I went to empty out the window - it took a while but it was lots of fun. We loaded up all the bears into large bags - it took 5!! We plan on hosting a bear drive each February - maybe next year we can get more!!
Thanks to all that helped and supported us during the drive!! Special thanks to the gals Fashion Bug for helping to collect them.
