Hi Everyone

I just wanted to share my weekend with you!  I was invited to teach a bear making workshop in a city about 2 hours from my home by the owner of the local patchwork shop.  It had been over 6 months since I had taught a class so I felt a little rusty.  The ladies in the class were very lovely and the smiles at the end of the class were absolutely priceless and it reminded me of why I love teaching bear making!

Now THAT's a great picture!  So glad you had success and those bearmakers sure look like they enjoyed themselves.  What darling bears!  They're so fuzzy ::cute:: 

Lisa, you have the sweetest, most youthful face.  I'll bet you make a really encouraging and receptive teacher.

Thanks Shelly for making me smile.  bear_original  bear_original   A  good friend of mine turned 50 today and yesterday my lovely children said that I look older than her.   bear_cry

Lisa- they were a great group of ladies - 2 mother and daughters and 2 named KIM!

Sue Ann - you don't need to take classes but it would be fun to get together and share techniques.

Michelle and Tracey - We did have fun!

Yes Patsy - it did help get my mojo back and thank you!

Looks like you had a lot of fun! I love taking classes. I always learn so much. It is also good to be around other bear makers. I am signed up for three in June - my birthday present.

I was thinking at one stage of doing you class in Sydney but due to work commitments I can't make it. bear_ermm

Wow, two named Kim?  And there are usually about 2 or more of us (Lisa's) hanging around!  I've always thought we (the Lisa's of the world) needed to start a club or something!!!

You know that's why I always have to refer to myself with my middle name in place - Lisa Bunting Thoms.  There's a www.LisaThoms.com website and it's a dentist!!!  I wonder how many bear collectors have ended up on her website and thought...what????????

Anyway, looks like you were a good teacher too.  Everyone completed their bear!

Hey Lisa
I agree we should start a club!!

It is very funny with the Lisa's here in Australia.  Within 250klms of me the another 2 Lisa's live - both are internationally known as bear artist's. 

When I was at school I was the only one out of 800!! As an adult I know about 10 ladies named Lisa all around the same age.

ps both daughter's were named Kim!
