Also, I started carving this bear many years ago, but, only got about, maybe, 2/3rds of the way done with it, and then put it on a shelf. Oldest DD saw it and loved it, so I told her it was hers. And, also, my pop made the wood clock right next to it for her...!

And, I actually did end up with a piece of the original "pink and green" Disney Store that I was a CM at for those 4+ years...

It used to be the topper for our old Store activity board before we got a new one.
It was going to be destroyed in the crusher out back like everything else at the Store was to be that was defective, broken, replaced, etc....nothing like that was to leave the Store, unless it was deemed satisfactory for donation. The crushing of said items was to be witnessed by a manager and at least one CM.
I went out with our manager to witness it's destruction. I made a comment about what a shame. She looked around and then said... "If you want it, get it to your car right now, and don't say a word to anyone!"
I took it, and then, oh so casually
walked it to my car about 25yds. away...
I gave it to oldest DD to use in her wedding, and they are now going to use it in granddaughters nursery...!!!!!
That sounds like a plant straight out of Star Trek!!
