I'm Back (at least I think I am)

My goodness . . . it's been awhile since I've posted here - shame on me.  No excuses except that I have soooooo many places to visit when I get on the computer.  And I'm head-over-heels involved with an animal sanctuary about a 30 minute drive from my house.  International Exotic Animal Sanctuary houses around 70 big cats and bears that have been orphaned, abused, or abandoned . . . wild animals that can't be returned to their natural habitats.  A well-run, awesome place to visit and they have daily tours.  I love Tassers, the bobcat that I have adopted and go to see him at least once a month.  I also make items for their gift store, an activity which brings me endless pleasure.  My teddy bear creating has taken a back seat, but I haven't abandoned it altogether.  I've made a plush all fours bear that represents Scooter, one of the yearling black bear cubs at IEAS.  Will be making another that represents Greta, a close friend of Scooter's and the same age as he.  That's all for now, but I will be back soon with photos and more
"stuff" that I've been into.
