EMBRACE THOSE MEMORIES
Hello everyone. Thanks for visiting my shop and sharing my love of creating and teddy bears.
A great big shout out to all of you who have allowed me to create an embraceable memory for you! Your orders, conversations, words of encouragement, great reviews and lasting friendships are what keeps me going. I love to hear from you once you open the box and see what sweet, embraceable treasures are inside. I miss not being able to see that "first look" reaction and it means the world to me when you take the time to share.
My story begins in 1999, after the death of my grandfather when I wanted to do something for the family, something to keep his memory close. I came across something in a magazine....a teddy bear made from clothing. I loved this idea! It was a great way to create something from his clothing and to be able to embrace his memory.
I created those Grandpa Bears for the family and my family began to share their bears with friends and family. Requests starting coming in asking me to create memory bears out of their special clothing, and my business was born. At that time, I had no intention of starting a business but, God had other plans!
I have always had a love for Teddy Bears and now I have a way of sharing my love for bears with others, in an embraceable way.
I strive to make each bear special and personalize it for each client. Your loved one's memory is captured in each piece of clothing they wore and I want to make sure your bear is as special as the person it was created from. I have lots of stories of how the bears have turned out to look like the person, with a certain look or expression on the bear's face. I am a firm believer that God guides my hands as I create each one and the memory bears turn out just as He would like.
I pour my love and prayers into each one and always look forward to creating the next one!
Let's create something together!
Bear Hugs,
Shannon
