Voting was very easy and without problems from a "technical" view, however it got really complicated picking my favorite entry.
All entries are of high quality.

I have added pictures of my entries. All of my bears are entirely crocheted, no pattern used. They range around the 10 to 12 inches.
Looking at the pictures of the entries that are already posted I am again amazed over the variety and different ideas, just incredible.
I want to give each and every one my vote.

When I was looking for a name I wanted to have a short one, easy to remember, and one that says something about my creations.
Since all my bears are babies or toddler I came up with the name bearkidz. The domain was also available and I quickly got used to this name.
I have added my name (Marion Fraile), so now it is "bearkidz by Marion Fraile". If I wouldn't have done this, some people might not have made the connection between my name and bearkidz. They might have either known my name or the name bearkidz.
Like Shelly, I use this name almost everywhere on the internet so people won't have trouble finding me.
That's the story behind "bearkidz by Marion Fraile". 
:clap: :clap: :clap: Congratulations and a big WELCOME
to little Scott! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Thank you for sharing these nice pictures.
You have two wonderful boys who seem to have enjoyed the trip a lot.
Australia is such a beautiful country, if it only were not so far away, I would have returned again sooner. Seeing the pictures of Uluru reminds me of the most incredible time I was able to spend there.

Hate it too
and I have left many web sites and did not return because of the music or the trailing things, etc.

Just wanted to congratulate on this wonderfrul souvenier!
I am sure you will find a nice name for this cutie.

I am very excited that my bears are featured in the new May edition of bearsandbuds - www.bearsandbuds.com.

I found out a long time ago that MSG was the reason for attacks of headache. It was always the same kind of headache sitting in the back of my head close to my neck. This happened every time after eating food that contained MSG.
Whenever I am food shopping I read the labels. However, I will do more internet research to find out the other names for MSG after reading your post.
Thanks for posting this informative article. I agree, it is important to know the facts about MSG.

CONGRATULATIONS Paula! :clap: :clap: :clap:
Here is the link to read the article in English: http://www.kuscheltiernews.info/news200 … r_eng.html
On the German page, all you have to do is scroll down to the very bottom of the page and click on the link to get the article in English. Because I am German and was able to read the full article in German I got to the end of the article where I found the link to the English version.
Happy reading !
