bialosky bear sticker fun

a vintage golden coloring book today from 1985 ~

bialosky bears ~

having fun ~

i'll be honest, i'm vintage in age, but my inner child (toxic) still to this day responds with keen interest & wide eyes when the word stickers comes up ~

you don't really even have to color this book yourself, they've done some of that work for you already ~

you just get to enjoy applying the stickers :D ~

ok, so yes, it's more of an addiction ~
