Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

I just joined...I can't believe I joined...LOL!  I seriously don't need more things to waste time on, coz I will waste time if I can lol.  And I'm thinking of a blog now too...its all sucking me in    hehe
It seems like fun tho, and easy.  So do you upload photos then?  What are you talking about Daphne?  I like facebook better too, but, have to move with the times I guess 

hehe, how cute!  I still can't believe little squirrels are pests over there, they are so cute!!

I also have to say that you are one of my all time favourite artists, your work is amazing, one of my dreams is to see one of your pieces in person one day, big hugs for making our world brighter with your art :hug:

hahahaha, thanks so much for sharing that Millie 

Congratualtions everyone!!!!!  :clap:  :clap:  And a special congrats to Louise for winning overall  :clap:  :clap:

Wow has she grown!  What a gorgeous girl

Congratulations everyone!!!  Fantastic that this comp was such a success 

Introducing Mopsy, the first little bear in my new range, poor thing has been sitting around for over a month waiting for the TBACA Easter Challenge to arrive before I could show her off. I only thought I'd make one in this style, but I enjoyed it so much I already have three more made of this type of critter    The only problem I've got is until I know whether I'll have enough for the TBACA online show in June, I have to keep them secret :(
She's only 4 inches tall, and can be adopted for $130 AUD, approx $83 USD, more details on the TBACA site, www.teddybearsandcritters.com/easterchallenge.htm or my website, go to the adopt page and click on Mopsy for many more piccies 
thanks for looking!  :rose:

WONDERFUL!!!!  Wow wow wow Jane, you are an amazing lady, thank you so much for Hugglets bear show online    :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Can I piggyback you Wendy, ditto ditto ditto!!!!   :hug:

Lovely Millie, you've got special talent there, I love elephants too   

      Love him Tami, too cute!!!

hehe, I've been thinking the same thing too.....I've given up on feeling guilty...I know that the friends I have waiting for an email are usually in the same boat as me....and we know we will get around to it when we can....the last thing I want to do is stress anyone and I know they feel the same way in return....
so, after you get rid of the guilt...I just breeze through and do what I find fun at the time and don't worry so much about what I miss, otherwise its not fun anymore, but I try to get facebook, TT, TBACA done as a priority...most days over the awful summer tho its only facebook, because of the reasons Daphne stated...its easy, especially when you have limited time and are isolated...in a sentence you've touched so many friends and for me that makes me happy, and thats what life is about for me, keeping me happy and sane and that is my best "fix"  
I don't have a blog, and think that facebook is kinda like a friend community blog....don't ya think....like it compliments the "business" forums. 

Aww, that was so sweet of you Clare    isn't it wonderful to see our aussie spirit in action, terrible time, but heartwarming how well we all do in a crisis

Wasn't that awful news Denise, I saw it this evening

Cant wait to see all the bears Sandi! 

Open invitation Wendy, unless you become very mean    tehe    Well next time we can take the car, the little putt putt will work in October weather lol

Awwwwwwwwwww, thats so sad, poor Mary, shes one of my hero's, I hope someone can pass on our love and that we will all miss dear Harry  :hug:  :hug:

Congratulations everyone!!!!!!!  What a treat to see all the wonderful piccies 

Add meeee   I love facebook, and find it actually saves me time.....laugh everyone go on haha, but seriously, I have so many dear friends that I want to email, and don't have the time....especially when I'm ill and everything that is over one sentence reads as goobeldygook, I can't keep in touch with anyone through email during those times... on facebook its easy no matter how I feel.  I get a list of all my friends, with their status showing what they have been up to, how they are feelign or whatever is important to them that day....in which I can write a quick reply....viola...in 15 mins, I can have caught up and communicated with 50 friends    The only catch is, they only let you write 50 letters or something like that in a comment haha, gets tricky if you are long winded like me   Its a terrfic social tool, and fun if you want to play the games...they are the time wasters hehe and I'm in on them too lol

Hi Louise   I've been off for a few weeks too and glad to be back, big huggies  :hug:  :hug:

I saw this story yesterday on the news, made me cry, poor little thing...its just too sad, but I'm so glad this little girl made it, the CFA are amazing people

Millie yes I am away from the firest thank you, this is the worst thing I've ever seen in Australia in my lifetime.....shock, horror......disgust....its just not even imaginable how any human could light a fire....I think every aussie is shedding tears daily watching the news...I just hope that it ends soon and the mongrels out there are caught.....can you believe they used to get 2 yrs for fires...I hope it goes way up now...it has to...they think near 300 will be the final body count.....just too much saddness to comprehend....and a couple of weeks ago I thought our Adelaide 47 C heatwave was the worst of summer...thinking of you all and in QLD too with the floods....crazy beyond belief this summer has been....

The pandas are coming, arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!  lol.  I'm sooo looking forward to them, I wanna hold one....or touch one.....I think they are too big to hold unless they are babies, I've seen them do it in China...my dream, can't believe they are coming to my state    Can't wait to see you again Wendy!  :hug:

Awwww, how precious!!!!  I kept meaning to look at your photos on facebook after you told me but of course kept forgetting  :doh: .  She's so cute    I know how proud you are Lynette of your grandbabies and you have every reason to be
