She's on the plane....

For the giveaway, Krista had a choice of two of the little guys ....and she wanted a "smooth" one as I call them.  The others are "fluffy" in my books.

And, so.... little Fleur as she was known to me... has gone to live in the Yukon Territories of Canada.... hope she loves it there as much as Krista does.  Check out her blog sometime to see the amazing scenery Krista photographs.
Krista may change her name,  I don't know;  but the little gal said she was open to any nice name ..... and looking forward to new adventures too.... she's got a bit of spunk that little one.  At first she was a tiny bit apprehensive about leaving her CC buddies (curio cabinet bears)...but, after a while....she decided it might be fun to go out on her own...to have a big adventure.  She decided she could always send a postcard to her friends.
So.... she climbed into her travelling pouch.... felt her nice purple-y and pink sheets and declared them comfy..... and before I knew it...she was sound asleep and I decided she was ready to go.

When a little packet arrived in my mailbox today and I opened it to find this little guy ... it brought tears to my eyes.
It's been a weird week ...so he just made my day pretty darn special after a few I will happily try to forget.  A bluebird day.  So cute sitting there on his little "nest".... resting a bit I'm sure after flying all the way by Royal Mail from Juliet's in the UK.  I immediately thought of the little bluebird of happiness.

He is felted from lovely purplish wool.... but, I'm sure there must be a strand or two of blue in there... well, I see blues in it anyway just because of the thought that he is a bluebird .... and has the cutest little perky string tail feathers... a little bright beady eye...and little bugle beads for feet.  He definitely won't have any keys attached to his special ring.. don't want any keys dangling on my little guy ..... but, instead, he will flit about keeping me company in my crafting room....

I was the winner of a special giveaway for her blog followers.... thank you JulietK....  I love my little guy!
