Hello friends of bears! 
I need your help, please! 
I' ve make a new site in three languages.
Only with the english I' ve some problemes. 
I' m not sure if it' s faultless or perfect.
Please, can you look on my site:
http://betty.ours.teddy.bears.lmsite.net
and tell me the mistakes?
many, many thanks
Hugs Betty 
Just had a look and it's great! There are only a couple of tiny things in the english translation ... I hope this helps!
My name is Betty Schönauer- Maurice.
I’ m German and I have lived in Normandy, France,
for about 10 years.
My greatest hobby is the creation of bears and dolls.
I love creating and giving life with different types of fabrics, mohair and plush. Each one of my "children" makes me happy, each one is unique as I can’ t clone my works.
This passion appeared after my daughter’ s birth
(her name is Cindy).
On top of my love I wanted to give her something personal,
then I had the idea of making her a "Doudou"
with one of my pyjamas,
then a cloth doll, a teddy bear etc......
Encouraged by my friends and family, I started creating
more and more "children".
You will find enclosed a few photos.
Since then I have participated in different exhibitions
(Salon de l' ours Mortemer, Paris création, Salon des ami de gueule de miel).
I hope you’ ll appreciate your visit in my little world.
Friendly

At the page you will find some information about the materials I use.
If you would like any further information,
do not hesitate to contact me.
Also, we spell 'clic' as 'click' and you may like to say 'adopted', rather than 'just adopt', to make it clear on that page that they are your adopted bears.
I think you've done a great job with the translation ... much better than I could have done in your language!!
Many,many Thanks Paula!
That's help me a lot of!
Because, I don't like it, if their are any mistakes.
Many thanks
Hugs Betty 
Wow!! You've done a great job. 
Paula has got in there first with the few mistakes I spotted.
I can't believe you have managed to produce a website in three languages - I find it time-consuming enough to do my website in one language!!
Back Road BearsI find it time-consuming enough to do my website in one language!!
Me too so I am very impressed!
Betty, I'm curious... is there a program you use to do the translation or do you do it yourself? I've seen some done with a translator program that has so many errors in it so am thinking you are great with the English language!
Thats brilliant Betty very clever and lovely bears too.
Pauline
Waggle BearsAgree, agree, agree...you've done a great job. Paula did a wonderful job setting forth the English equivalent of what you were intending to say. Very impressive to have set up your site in three languages and your bears are adorable little things. :clap: :clap:
Many, many thanks for your answers and compliments!
I don' t have use a translator, because they make too many errors and sometimes they translate the words not correct.
My school english isn't very well, but I hope, there are not toooooooooo many mistakes.
I haven't any problem for the text in french and german, because my husband is French and I' m German.
For all that I' ve had need a long time.
thanks thanks thannks

If you find any errors please tell me!
Many hugs
Betty
Wow, I'm very impressed too. I would love to know more than one language (I will someday). Great job I will warn you though, I really enjoy proof-reading and picking things apart Here are some suggestions I made and misspellings and typos I caught. I put all of my recommendations in red.
Let me introduce myself:
My name is Betty Schönauer- Maurice.
I’ m German and I have lived in Normandy, France,
for about 10 years.
My greatest (favourite?) hobby is the creation of bears and dolls.
I love creating and giving life with different types of (there was no space between types and of in the original) fabrics, mohair and plush. Each one of my "children" makes me happy, and each one is unique as I can’ t clone my works.
This passion appeared after my daughter Cindy's birth.
On top of my love I wanted to give her something personal,
then (take out the then) I had the idea of making her a "Doudou"
with on of my pyjamas (out of my pajamas?),
then a cloth doll, a teddy bear etc....
Encouraged by my friends and family, I started creating
more and more "children".
You will find enclosed a few photos. (a few photos enclosed?)
Since then I have participated in different exhibitions
(Salon de l' ours Mortemer, Paris création, Salon des ami de gueule de miel).
I hope you’ ll appreciate your visit to my little world.
Cordially,
Betty Schönauer- Maurice
Here are some recommendations for the information page.
I design and create each of my bears with a lot of love.
They all have a birth certificate and my initials are embroidered under one of their feet.
I always try to work with the best quality fabrics. Most of my bears are made of "Schulte"- mohair, cashmere and suedine. Sometimes I use "Helmbold"- mohair and alpaca too.
For the plush I pay a lot of attention to good quality and originality.
Eyes are hand- painted glass or safety eyes.
A few bears are coloured with Air- brushing, which enables me to bring out some details, and give them even more life.
Joints (always 5 or 6) are in cordboard, wood or fiber.
Some bears have something (an armature?) integrated in their arms, so they are flexible all the way down to their paw pads.
I use anti- allergic (hypoallergenic?) fibres, cotton wool or mohair for stuffing.
For a nice weight and posture I use steel, mineral, glasses b.b's ou rubber.
I make as many clothes myself as possible and I pay great attention to details.
All my creations aren' t for children under 3 years.
Thank you so very kindly for stopping by to meet my bears!
Hope this helps!
A couple other little things I noticed:
You don't need to say "have got" or "has got." Just "has" or "have" are better.
On the "Plush Teddy Bears 1" page, it should be "These flecked bears..." not "This flecked bears..."
I hope you don't feel like I'm being too picky or anything, I just tend to be a bit of a grammar nut 
You really did a great job, I'm impressed
