Lori Pappas of LoriBelle Bears lives on Lake Norman in the Piedmont region of NC with her husband John, sons Zach (20) & Greg (16) and their cat Jerry.

Her love for the craft of bear-making began after her grandmother passed away and she received a couple of her fur coats.

She decided to use these furs to create lasting keepsakes for her family and her brothers family, so she turned to neighbor Sally Winey, who has been making bears for many years. Lori spent two days with Sally as she shared her well honed craft and guided Lori as she made her first bear. Lori was hooked! Thereafter she spent many months crafting her own designs and trying new techniques. She hopes folks love her bears as much as she loves making them.

You'll want to stop by and visit with Lori and her Bears.
