Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hehe!
Thank you for the picture Susan.
I think you're going to love the bear I have picked out for you.
I can't wait!!!!!!

Thank you Lenora and Susan.
I am getting excited about the swap.  :clap:
Susan I wanted to ask you, do you collect as well? and if so what kind of bears to you collect? 

Thank you so very very very much for your kind words Linda.
You have no idea how you have made me feel :)
To be sure no one would be disappointed in having me as a partner Susan decided and I agreed to be be partners with each other. That way no hurt and or upset feelings.
Your words of welcome are greatly appreciated. 

I would like to thank Susan for inviting me to the swap and to Karon for allow me as a collector to participate.
I have a very special bear in mind for you Susan. And he/she is looking forward to their new home.
Thanks again.

He looks like a "BREWSTER" to me.
Best of luck with your new puppy. :)
I have a feeling he's going to be a little pistol!  

Such sweetness.
Thank you for posting.

Adorable. Sweet innocent face. 

Unfortunately he can't live in the wild now. As you know.
I'm sure you know too but just a reminder be sure what he eats in your yard is pesticide and fertilizer free.
My gardener would always ask for an OK before fertilizing.

Gorgeous bear!
Fantastic detail work on the face. :)
Your artistry really shows in this bear.

That's just too adorable!
Does it make you want another one Tami?

My Desert Turtle, Big Guy died a few months ago at the age of 55. I have had him since I was 5. He went through several name changes over the years but that was because I was a little kid when I got him. By the time I became a teenager "Fluffy" just wasn't a good name for him anymore and he underwent his first name change. Yes "Fluffy". I was only 5 when I got him!! :)
By the time I was 20 he was named for the last time. Truthfully I don't think he really cared one way or the other what his name was as long as I had food in my hand he was happy.
If yours is a true Desert Turtle you should be able to sex him between the ages of 5 and 10. 15 years for those in the wild.
More importantly you want to be sure you feed him right with lots of variety. I never fed Big Guy commercial foods and his absolute favorite food was rose petals. He would go to the rose trees and hit the trunk as hard as he could to make the petals drop.
They are a lot of fun to own and will follow you like a dog once he gets to know your voice. Big Guy also loved to play ball. I would throw the ball and he would go get it and hit it back to me. Big Guy was never a biter either which was nice. Most Desert Turtles are not. It's the small Box and Snapping Turtles that like to get you.
Big Guy had a huge yard in which to roam, he burrowed his own den and loved to sun bathe with a lizard friend on his back.
He was a great turtle. :)
I sure do miss him.

Great picture Maria.
I too am sad to see them go.
I feel very fortunate to have been able to watch and I only hope that they remain safe on their way out into the big world.

Sylvia I REALLY lilke the face on this bear as well as the mohair.   
I also looked at your "Ivy" on eBay as well.
Same for her. :)
Great detail work on them both!!!  :clap:

Hey Denise,
What a cutie patootie!!
Love her sweet little face. 
This "Self Proclaimed" collector thinks she is adorable and from seeing all her bids I guess I'm not the only one!

Congratulations Peter on your new bear!
I can't think of a better bear owner than you!  

Happy happy baby #2. 

I'm partial to black cats but I like them both. :)

The flowers look like Gardenias to me.
I love Gardenias!!!!
