Day 29~ Stuffed Animals

As you can see there is a little kid inside of me that still enjoys these little stuffed animals. Each one has a story to tell. The bee from my Mary Kay business. The horse from my granddaughter Rylee. The moose from my sister Rosie and the pink bear to remind me I deserve to be pampered sometimes too. Do you have things that bring the kid out in you?
(P.S. got yesterday's and today's Challenge confused. LOL)

their idols cannot speak;
they must be carried
because they cannot walk.
Do not fear them;
they can do no harm
nor can they do any good.”
