The pictures were all taken before Blossom got her shiny polycoat but I just wanted to show her off a bit. :)
I like to use as much symbolism as I can so here is a little more in depth pictures and what the symbols mean:
The bee symbolizes community, brightness and personal power. Follow the bee to discover your new destination.
Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life:
endurance, change, hope
gnomes are subterranean spirits who guard the earth's treasures
fairies symbolize the paranormal powers of the spirit or the extraordinary capacities of the imagination: to create in the imagination what can never be realized in the actual world.
mushrooms also represent rapid growth and good fortune
feathers generally symbolize an ascension and spiritual evolution to a higher plane

Blossom is awesome. Love all the symbolism. It’s so great that you do this every year.

I know I've said it elsewhere, but Blossom is absolutely magical. I knew that before I read your notes. Now I am really taken by the symbolism you have put into this bear. Blossom sure is a winner!
This is gorgeous ....
