Do you love hugs?  I know I do…especially big old bear hugs from the men in my life.  That would be my husband and my two handsome grown sons. 🙂  Well you can have or send all the hugs you want with the new Bear Hug Bundle in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog.  They can be boy or girl bears or grown up mom and dad bears…or an entire family of bears!   All depends on how you want to dress them up. 🙂  And the greetings that come in the set are so cute!  Can you tell I’m in love!

Speaking of bear families…I think that’s another reason I’m so partial to this set.  Here in the North Georgia Mountains we have lots of bears.  Yes…we have a mama bear that lives close and spends lots of time in our neighborhood.  She walks around with her cubs like she owns the place. 🙂  One day I looked out the window and there she was with her four, yes four, cubs handing them each a bag of trash from the can out front.

And then of course there was the night my husband came home and walked into the garage while she was on her way out.  I sure wish I could have seen his face.  He said she actually bumped him as she ran out.  I’m sure she was running because she was as scared as he was!  So…I’m sure you get the picture as to why I just had to have this adorable bear set.

Happy Stamping,
Diane
