:hug: My first black bear/doll maker friend!!  :hug:   

I'm so very glad you stuck with it and learned how to make the dolls and bears.  I think it can be very hard sometimes for people to get ahead, and enrich their lives...especially when others get jealous and try to pull you down    I'm glad you rose above them, and that you are making your delightful dolls and bears, spreading joy  :rose:

My adopted mummy, Mamoo, is Panamanian (black) and you could not tell her there are things she cannot do because she is black!!!     She has been my strength and heart in many times of darkness and sad times.

This is a good place to post one of my favorite quotes:  "World Government Needs Bears" by Helen Exley.

Oh, I just want to say hugs to you Irene. I'm glad that the bears and making them is such a good outlet. It is for me too.  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:
I don't care if you are green, or blue, or red. I like you even if you are big and hairy like the bears.        Then I probably like you even better, Ha Ha.
Love, kathy
