Me and my teddy

I took these photographs one morning when he was getting ready for school, he was just being silly and crazy and I thought it was cute. But the irony is they are some of the sharpest photos I have ever taken of him. I am slowly getting back into scrapping, I am starting to have a little fun doing it, isn't it amazing what a difference the computer working better makes to creativity.

Journalling reads: When we saw this teddy bear being sold to raise money for the NSPCC (The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children), you decided that you wanted him. All of the other ones were brown, you wanted a white one, and we were lucky enough to find him buried right at the bottom. Whenever you are at home, he is never far from your side. You cuddle him while you watch T.V. You play with him and talk to him. The poor thing has been thrown up on and peed on when you have been poorly, and you have chewed his ribbon to bits. but a quick trip through the washing machine, (while you are at school obviously), and he looks almost as good as new Sure his fluff has kind of lumped together a bit from all the hugs he gets, and he’s a little bit limp. But he is loved to pieces. It makes me so happy to see how much you love him and how you call him your best friend. I know as long as you have him you will feel safe and happy and be less likely to “borrow” my teddy bear.
