  A beautiful coloring book and a journal filled with thoughtful quotes and journal prompts. I loved the beautiful pages in the coloring book.  What I like about coloring books is you can color them and use your own creative expressions. This is not just a coloring book it also has journaling pages so you can write out how you are feeling and how to deal with your grief in a fun relaxing way. This would make a great gift for some who has lost a loved one or a pet.

Meet Stephanie A memory bear business owner.

MEET Stephanie Grams I’m Stephanie Grams, Mixed Media Artist and Sewing Artist (Sewpreneur) since 1982. Here’s a tad bit of information about me and why I’m moving from my 12+ years in marketing and publicity to this business model. As a little girl …. (yep, I was little at one time) I used to hide in plain sight under my grandmother’s dining room table (a. k. a. sewing table) watching and listening to my mom and grandmother sew. I believe I finally was underfoot long enough that one day they decided to give me my own sewing basket … full of needles, thread, and remnants of fabric from their fashion creations. I learned how to hand sew at the age of 7 and have been studying the art ever since. (In case you wondering, that’s over 35 years years ago). I’ve taught my four daughters to sew, however, only one learned the art of hand sewing, while the others have ventured into abstract painting, fiction writing, and musical instruments. All are creative and artistic. I’ve had the honor and p...
