Teddy is so kind and sweet
A better friend youÂ’ll never meet
When you need him, heÂ’ll be there
Sitting in your boudoir chair
Always lends a listening ear
He can calm and rest your fear
HeÂ’ll always be there day or night
Hugging him can make it right
Whether youÂ’re sick or sad or blue
He seems to know just what to do
At your party, heÂ’ll drink some tea
And sing and dance merrily
Forever and always heÂ’ll be your friend
His love for you will never end

Our TPT destination this week is MaryLou, a sweet woman who is in ill health, who needs some encouragement and good cheer. She loves teddy bears so I made her a paper-pieced card with a teddy bear, and wrote this poem for her.
I didn't get my card finished yesterday, the day of the challenge. Fortunately, the die cuts, papers and image I chose to use, fit today's SC411 sketch. Love that when it happens!
THANK YOU for looking!

Oh yeah, the sketch worked for me to - isn't it cool when another challenge meshes perfectly! Lovely piecing on that sweet image, and a darling poem too, Gabby.
What a charming poem and very fitting for your sweet card. Love them both.
