Love the rawhide cane treats Chrissi Those are some great pictures. Looks like Med and Leo are in chew toy heaven! 
You all have some great resolutions! I'm inspired to add to my own list: I resolve to try harder to forgive and let go of the past issues, plan ahead, but not worry so much about the future and to be present in the moment!
I threw out my scale 17 years ago and guess what, I lost 35 lbs in two years!
Wow! good for you Helen! I hope that works for me!! 
Patsy is a kind and very caring lady who makes beautiful bears and I'm blessed to be able to call her my friend!
Aw, Penny I can totally sympathize! :hug:
I'm working on a critter right now that I've had to make several 'do-overs' on. Dang I hate when that happens.
If they give me too much trouble I just set them aside and work on something else for a while. After a few days I feel like I can get a fresh start on them and things go smoother.
Good luck! I can't wait to see it when it's done. I'm sure it will be beautiful!
What a cool prize! Way to go Sarah! Congratulations! : :dance: :dance: clap: :clap:
'How sad am I, people my age are usually out drinking and clubbing and here's me excited about a food mixer.
What?! NOT sad at all - very admirable!! Good on you Sarah! :clap: :clap:
I like to watch the food network but I don't think I've ever seen Nigella. Does she have a show on food network?
They keep all your secrets and always let you have the remote!
Ah! A beautiful Teddy Tree! Well done, I love it. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
I got this in an email and thought it was worth sharing. A lot of the content has been seen here before, but well, here it is again! 
The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and
love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us
their all. It's the best deal man has ever made.

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people,
who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.

If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog
biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them.
-Phil Pastoret
My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog thinks I am.
Isn't it cool how animals can sense our emotions? Some poeple just think of them as dumb animals but they communicate with us in so many ways (mostly with love) if we are just open to it.
Debbie you and Blossom are both lucky to have each other. 
Not to worry Debbie, She did say she hasn't gotten them all posted yet. I'm sure more numbers will be coming soon.

There is so much talent here it makes me giddy. 
Hi Articicle!
Good question. One I've been kicking around for a while now. I currently include a hang tag and a certificate. I would like to add some sort of unique identifying detail... I don't know what exactly yet. I'm thinking of a tush button maybe. If I ever get around to designing it that is!
If you look in the library under 'Hangtaqgs/Tush tags' there are lots of ideas.
P.S. Welcome to TT! :dance:
Wonderful lesson Lynette and much food for thought. (uh, no pun intended.)
Here's a phrase I never thought I'd say, but I mean it: I aspire to be coffee! :dance:
They are beautiful Kerren! 
I'm so glad they are doing better. :hug:
Mine is to organize my time better so I can get more bears done! Do-able? Yes! With some effort and planning of course.
(edited several hours later to add: Now that I've frittered the whole day away playing on the computer, you can see that I really need to do this! Discipline! That's what I need. Someone behind me cracking a whip! )
No diet resolutions for me this year, but I do plan to stick to a more regular exercise schedule. I just feel better and have more energy when I get more exercise. This should help with my first resolutions too!
I also need to take more time to comment on all the wonderful creations in the showcase and for sale forums. I truly admire everyone's talent and all your beautiful creations certainly deserve more attention! :clap: :clap: :clap:
SO COOL! :dance: :dance: I'm so excited for you Daphne! :dance: :dance:
After all your hard work and frustration, it's great to see the bunnies on screen and so many good things happening for you. :clap: :clap:
I can't wait to see the movie!
