Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hi Fran,
I use an Adoptin certificate for each of my bears this has details of the bear name, date of adoption and new mom/dad this example is one I used for a wedding ocuple stating who had commissioned the bears - I created this myself in word and print it on buff colour paper.
I do not yet add a picture of the bear
hope this helps alittle to see another example
:hug:

Heather - yes I have now taken the plunge and purchased that kit from ebay - I hope it will arrive for the end of the month or maybe just into the new year  - then who knows the sky may just be the limit

Kim well as you and I both make lots of little uns - it may be that the little block will suit - I too like to work with my current project in my lap  

Dilu - thankyou so much for the links - I may get the opportunity whilst off work to go to one of those super all encompassing book shops - so I will give serious thought to a book - I will however watch the knees as the old legs are in a bit of a state already :redface:  :redface:

Judi - oh what wonderful creatures the lamb is angelic and the bear superb - but then I  think that all your bears and creatures are superb!! I am storing the information you gave about bigger projects for later ( maybe much later!!)

Thank you again ladies -      :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

If anyone has time - I am so taken with the superb needlefelting I see from all you TT ladies that I thought for some  spare time which might arrive in the future maybe I could buy some needle felting things - just in case I ever wanted to try it out
This link is to an ebay item I think looks an okay buy - but what do you experts think??
Any responses greatly appreciated  
:hug:
Anne

Aaaw Daphne - and there I was just measuring up my discarded mink stole    and figuring out how much to post to you for revamping
Oh my well perhaps next years model will be a better color for my future heritage bear
Daphne - they dooo have such character and I take m;y hat of to you for being able to duplicate just like little triplets - Soo Sorry I too think they are cute!!
:hug:
Anne

:hug:
Oh I soo agree - though I sometimes wish for smaller bears that I could produce clearer shots - or rather that John could - he really does all the photos - and sometimes they are wonderful and others a bit fuzzy (maybe camera shake ??) but I  Will Not be ungrateful!!

Dilu - I just LOVE You - thank you!! :hug:

Pipa - Thank you soo much :hug:

Just thought I would let you know the lady who ordered the mermaid - Madison has received the package and has written to me to say she is thoroughly delighted with her and she is sure the little boy will be over the moon. She was even kind enought to say that she was even better than her pictures so !!!      
I am ever so happy - thak you once again all of you for your wonderful comments on her
:hug:  :hug:
Anne

Ooooo
Pretty pretty puddy tat  
This is just the kind of cat I love - no feeding no litter tray just cuddles and sweetness. (Sorry cat lovers - I adore animals but am not really clever enough to take care of one :redface: )
It takes me all of my time to 'feed' my bears  
Well done Helena - another super dooper baby animal !! :dance:  :clap:  :dance:  :clap:  :dance:  :clap:
:hug:
Anne

Hi Bonnie
Bo is absolutely Terrific :clap:  :clap:  - as someone said already from his cutie toes to his beautiful nose he is a wonder     - terrific work  
:hug:
Anne

Hi Jenny - I am sorry for this bad experience - I had to request a refund too for clothing bought on ebay(also not as described) - but what ebay did when I used their dispute centre was to remove the transaction from my record completely I think about when Paypal authorised a refund
I hope it all get sorted out for you very soon
