When my dear friends John and Karole Aspinwall offered to donate a pin for my sister's B3 fight, I wanted to come up with a design that had some meaning to it for both her and I. When I used to go visit her in Blairsville and would stay in her spare room there were these darn lady bugs that always would show up by the hundreds on the window sill by my bed. I would call her and say "did you clean the lady bugs off my bed yet". We would laugh about it every time I would visit. Well low and behold 1 week after she moved to Tennessee (much to my dismay) I was brushing my teeth at my sink in my bathroom and there on the counter I found a lady bug. I couldn't believe my eyes. I don't usually find lady bugs in my house but knew immediately who had sent it to me.
On the other hand Bren loves bears. We used to laugh and have fun shopping because she loves Teddy Bears and collected them. She used to say "I think he is talking to me and I might have to buy him". So to honor her, I decided I would join the two and make her pin be a bear wearing the lady bug costume in pink and of course she has to have her pearls on.
PINS WILL BE FOR SALE SOON

This makes me cry, which makes my hair folicles hurt all at the same time. I love it. What a great design! Bren
