Thoughts: Patience is a bear I've always liked but been really picky on. They're all cute but with the random plush, they're all different. It's taken me years to find just the right one for me. I saw this cute one on ebay and made an offer for her, so the price was as good as the bear. I like her big eyes and her facial markings are nice. Patience is one of the Magical Snugglies, so she's tall and very thin. They're not the best at cuddling as the skinniness and the coarseness of their fur don't contribute to great cuddles, but they're very cute and look great on the shelf. USPS definitely tried my patience with Patience, because she sat around in Greenville from Thursday until last night. For no reason. But she finally made it and I'm glad to own one of these at last.

Thoughts: Oh, poor Sprout. He never got a photo until now. I've had him since mid-December but he needed some help. He was washed and then wrapped in dryer sheets for over a month. Not nearly as bad as the Alison incident, but he smelled like cat. I'm really sick of people not telling me they own cats. Oddly, it was only his back side that smelled and there was no sign of staining. It was like litter box odor just stuck to him on one side. But he's finally cleaned up nicely and can join my green bears on their shelf.
