Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hi Mandie,

Well done for losing all that weight, you look great  - I take my hat off to you!
I agree with you, that walking is a wonderful way to tone your body.
Thanks for sharing your photo and it is nice to have a face to the name.
I enjoy walking our dog and is such a good way to get some exercise.
I also have an Elle MacPherson workout video that I try and do 2 or 3 times
a week.

Hugs Carolyn

Hi Hayley,

It was neat to hear from you again and glad that your Grandmothers 90th went off with a bang!
What a shame about the Melbourne Show been cancelled - as you said it seems to be a  sign of the time.:(
Glad you are back and look forward to hearing from you again.

Hugs
Carolyn

Shantell, Your little Bear on your Avatar is adorable - what is his/her name?
Warm wishes
& Bear hugs
Carolyn

Thanks Marion -

Your's  avatar is great and I like the bear you have chosen for it.  As I said before your Bears are fabulous and I look forward to talking some more to a French Bear artist.

Warm wishes

Carolyn

So glad the operation is behind you now Daphne and hoping that you have a speedy recovery
and you get a lot of rest and  pampering from your Family.

Oh so cute Dilu.... and only the second Bear and it did not take you very long to make.

Hugs
Carolyn

How horrible for you  Dilu,
I hope that the firefighters have everything under control and you remain safe.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi Marion,

Welcome back and glad that you have had a holiday up in the mountains - how splendid.
It must be a magnificent place and ideal spot to make your Bears.
That is amazing that you have made such a gorgeous line up of Bears and you only started
in February! Well done.
thanks for sending the photo of your wonderful Bears.

hugs
Carolyn.

Hi Daphne,

Your keeper bear is just wonderful and I would not change anything about him
I love the mohair colour combination and he looks so huggable.

Jane your Bear in the same mohair is lovely also - what is his or her name?

Hugs
Carolyn

Daphne - you have the luckiest family with all your preparations you have done.
Now it is your turn to have them look after you.
Wishing you a successful operation and a speedy recovery and you get to read a lot of great books.

hugs
Carolyn

Kim, I was really sorry to read of your dear little nephew Jerry been sick and I just want to say
that our thoughts and prayers are with all your family, at this time.

Best wishes & bear hugs
Carolyn

Congratulations Kirsten - that is truly wonderful news. Really happy for you and as they
say how soon you forget all the tiredness and not wanting your food.
Yes, it is really neat reading the pregnancy books - when your baby is the size of a grain of wheat
and then a coffee bean - it is a miracle. Ours are now 16 and 14 and you wonder where those years
have gone!
How neat that you have had  the ultrasound.
All I can say is put your feet up and try and get lots of rest and have a dry water cracker and a cup of tea in the morning - seemed to help me.
Wishing you all the best.

Bear hugs
Carolyn

Jane what a very sweet little Bear and good on your for donating your Bear to a HIV/Aids.
I hope that the bear will make a lot of money for them.

Every year for about the last 5, I have donated a Bear for the Waiheke Island hospice and last year
I donated a Bear - George for the Breast Cancer Foundation.
I find the biggest reward in making Bears is to contribute to worthwhile causes and to be able to
help out.

Bear hugs
Carolyn

Oh she is a little sweetie Dilu and I love her big smile.
Well done for mastering the needle felting.

Bear hugs
Carolyn

Jane just hoping that you can soon have the op and be back to feeling well again.
Best wishes

hugs
Carolyn

Dilu - Yentle is wonderful and what a great job you have made of her!
Loved the embroidery and her long hair - no wonder the Gollys are jealous.

Bear hugs
Carolyn

Congratulatuions Shelli for winning the Golden Teddy  award for Chauncey.

Shelli - you are so clever and I just adore the colours for the Avatar,
Jody you are so lucky having Shelli design your Avatar and your Bear looks great.
Well done to you both!

Hi,

I have my pages a bit muddled I think - everyone's Bears are great.
Millie, I loved your Bear Sassy and good luck with her on ebay. The pink colour is great.
I hope I have not missed any new Bears out.

Rita, your new Bear with no name is lovely. Have you chosen a name yet?

Bear hugs
Carolyn

Great Bears from you all
Shari - Finian is just great and to say you are in a funk..... I don't think so!
I loved the vibrant colours and you could just picture him dancing and singing in Fred Asatires musical.

Gina - I particulary liked your Circus Bear Grumpy and how lucky your Son is to have such a great Bear.

Jane - I don't know why you are saying that you are not pleased with  Benji  - he  is so neat and
I really like Bears on all 4's

Bear hugs
Carolyn

Shantell and Gina - good on you both.
The names are great and just want to wish you well in the setting up of your website.

Bear hugs
Carolyn

Hi Lynn,
Very sweet bear, Deegan is such a lucky wee boy to have a lovely Grandma that is able
to make such a beautifu Bear and is one he will be able to treasure  for life.
thanks for sharing the photo with us.

Bear hugs
Carolyn

Shantell, I like Apple Dumpling Bears - sounds great and it has a lovely cosy, homely sound.
Good luck with whatever you choose.

Bear hugs
Carolyn

Deb,

No it was not an ebay sale, the customer had tried to do the sale via my web-site.
As Danni said there are some lovely people from Singapore and Indonesia and sorry
that sometimes one bad apple can ruin selling Bears.

All I can say is be very careful as it is a big wide world out there and best of luck
to everyone with selling your  Bears.

Bear hugs
Carolyn

Welcome back Sue Anne - we have missed you and glad that you are back safely.
also that you had a great show.
Was lovely to see your Claypso Bear - wonderful and colourful!

bear hugs
Carolyn
