Originally meant to be part of a set - Tula was a CAL from a few years ago, so I know some people may have her. But I never did get around to make her garden friends....
So, since I was beginning to feel guilty at not putting out/up anything new; and with my injury still giving my problems - I figured I would put this out for anyone who wanted to make!
I hope you enjoy!
