Alien Words: A BEAR of a unit!

I have been OBSESSED with creating this bear unit. It gave me a much needed distraction from life and it is completely helping me to redefine my outcome. To the ladies that initially gave me the idea, I thank you!!!

This is one GIGANTIC packet! I debated not posting it for a week or too, but I am so excited to see what you think! Here are some pics...
