Shy Bear Blog Hop

Today the Squigglefly Design Team is having a blog hop using the wonderful Shy Bear stamp collection in honor of a recent passing of Melissa Chettle who died suddenly this June at the young age of 43.

My dear friend Charlene tells me that she was a wonderful woman who made afghans and donated them for so many people.  This image made me think of her, and all the people who must snuggle up and night and hold a blanket close to them feeling warm and comforted in the handmade love that she created.  I hope her friends and family know that she reached out and touched a lot of people that way.
 
I hope you will continue along the Shy Bear Blog hop to see the other beautiful cards.  Squigglefly, whose artist Lynne Stansberry created the Shy Bear including the one shown on my card today, Sleepy Time Bear.
