Hiya!!
Quite a few of you know that I have been trying to put plans into place to organise an artist-only bear event here in the UK. Everything has been in place for months, I have simply been waiting for the venue to be able to confirm my booking. It has taken months, but I have finally had it all confimred today so yippeee!!! :dance: I can finally get everything underway. Unfortunately, their confirmation has coincided with me going back to my 'normal' job after the whole summer off!!! However, I am ready and raring to go.
Lots of you who have contacted me about the event should begin hearing from me over the next week or two. I have had so many people interested that it is going to take some time to get round to contacting everyone, so please do not worry if you don't hear immediately.
However, I just wanted to share this good news with you, as I have been so frustrated over the last couple of months, about not being able to move things on.
For those of you who don't recall previous conversations about this, please feel free to look at the website: www.teddybearartistevent.co.uk The whole event is being organised to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.
Thanks for your patience guys - it should be full steam ahead from now on (except for having to go to work - doh!!).

Everything is moving along nicely. We have got some FAB artists signed-up already!!! (including quite a few TTers!!) I have begun updating the exhibitor list on the website, so take a look if you are interested to see who is going to be there - www.teddybearartistevent.co.uk Over half the stalls have been spoken for at this moment, and the replies are still coming in thick and fast!!!
I am almost at the end of my list of people to invite - if anyone out there would like to be considered for a stall, please fill in the online form, or contact me personally.
It has been really refreshing to see that people are ready and willing to try something new. A lot of people seem excited to try one of the new stall set-ups, and it will be fun to see what people make of their stalls on the day. I must admit I am feeling rather excited about it all. The first event will definitely be a case of 'see what happens', but if we don't try, we will never know!!
