BRANDY SNAP
created by LJ BEARS
in 1996! Only my 2nd year of Bear Making!
He was adopted in the UK by a gentleman
named Kiril. Brandy Snap stayed with
Kiril for many, many years 'waiting for that
Special Moment to give to a child that would
care and love him'.
Last year (2007) he finally gave him to his dear
Granddaughter, Natashenka.
Well done Brandy Snap, I am
so pleased you are
keeping Natashenka happy.
Big beary hugs to you both xxJanuary 2008
