    When I was younger I loved the muppets and still do, I asked my parents for a Kermit the frog Pupet and they looked confused and said they it couldn’t be done, on Christmas Day I opened up a gift and found a Kermit the frog Pupet in a box. It was made by my dads friend who makes puppets for fun, I was so happy, I got too meet the guy and he showed me his work and gave me some old supplies for me too use, I cherish that day because that let me get into Puppet making, and your video helped me get started. The frog design was the exact same as this one here and it just brought me such good memories ☺️
