Creature Feature!

Today we are featuring the Teddy Bear who loves to hang around with his big brother. They do everything together, from climbing trees, to eating honey, to going swimming in the river. The fact that the Teddy Bear is crocheted and his brother is not doesn't stop them from being the best of friends. They know that it doesn't matter what you look like; what matters is what's on the inside.

Creature Feature

Today we are featuring the striped bear! He is the first creature made in 2017. He absolutely loves to live in the here and the now, and because of this he spends lots of time with friends. His favorite thing to do in his free time is go to amusement parks and ride the ferris wheel.

Interviewer (I): Thank you so much for joining us today!

Bear (B): It is my pleasure!

I: So what do you think makes you unique?

B: As you can see, I am very colorful. I am made out of 6 different colors, and there is no end to my colorfulness! I am not your average teddy bear.

I: What do you like the most about kids?

B: I love their creativity and their imagination. When kids play with me I feel like I could become anything. I feel like the possibilities for my new life are endless.

I: What kind of home are you looking for?

B: A home where I can just be loved endlessly, played with a lot, and cherished for a long time. Maybe my kid will even hand me off to their children someday! I want to be able to bring someone joy and color, and I hope that the same kid will bring me happiness as well.

I: Those are all the questions I have for you today, but thanks again for taking the time to be interviewed and the best of luck to you as you start your next journey of donation.

Au Revoir

Say Au Revoir to the Valentine teddy bear and the Turtle, because today they are going to go to their forever homes. They are being donated to two children who lost their mother due to cancer. We wish them farewell as they embark on their journey. Our interviewers talked to them about how they feel:

Interviewer (I): Are you excited or nervous about this big step you are going to take?

Teddy Bear (TB): I am mostly excited. I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and now that it's finally here, I don't know what to think.

Turtle (T): I have nervous butterflies in my stomach. I am nervous, but I know I will enjoy my new life.

I: How long have you waited for this moment?

TB: Not that long, actually. I was created this month. But it feels like I've been waiting forever. It's every CFC's dream to be donated, and I'm very lucky to have my dream come true.

T: I on the other hand, was made last summer. I have been just waiting for my turn to get a new home, so I think this is long overdue.

I: I hope you have a good time with your new owners!

T and TB: We do too!
