Bear-y Huggable Bear Purse
I originally designed the Pink Bunny Purse for our 3 year old little great-neice for Christmas this year, but i confess when my 2 girls saw it, they wanted it. So i thought that i would make up a few others for our other neices and our own girls. (lol!) They are 7 and 14!! I am sure any age would love this, I plan to make more that are similar just for fun! I sure hope u like it too!! I had so much fun making it, I couldnt put it down until i had it finished.
Hugss to all...
