Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Becky which Charlie Bear did you get?
And mine say Handmade in Thailand too.

Maria I saw that report too. I'm sure it was the same one. A friend sent me the news link and it made me sick to my stomach.
Poor animals.
Denise I too saw the price reduction but so strange he has gone back up. Weird!!
Anyway I decided to call eBay and report it this time and the complaint taker (Ivan) said it would be removed shortly.
I hope so.

Is that a white Chinchilla? Does anyone know?
Too cute!!!  

Leave it to a kitten to find a place to nap.     

Boy if they don't make your heart feel good!!      
Thanks for posting.

Good girl! 
I didn't notice the price drop. I bet he is concerned!! He may have recieved some emails from other eBayr's as well telling him a thing or two.
Thanks for the update.

Thanks Tami for the link.
I signed it yesterday through the Face Book link you sent me. I have recieved several up dates via Face Book.
It will be interesting to see what happens.
Thanks again.

Come on now Randy!!!!
I have seen you do this over and over again and you can't tell me you aren't sitting there with a big ol' smile on your face!!
You say things to get others all riled up and then take it back.
PLEEEEEESE!!!!!!

Thanks for posting Denise.
I was surprised it was still up.
So I reported it too.
Maybe you should throw some salt over your shoulder just to be on the safe side.

Dear sweet Andrea!!
Thank you so much for the card!
I'm a bit late getting to my postal mail from being in the hospital but I wanted to be sure to thank you.
I love your card. My husband thought you did a great job making your own cards with your adorable bears on them and I did see the one on the back. Too cute!.
Thank you for the ginger bread man. I will treasure him always. I have some pictures of him on my tree I will try to send to you.
Hugs.

Dear sweet Gail, 
Thank you for the beautiful Polar Bear Post Card.
It was so thoughtful of you to think of me and remember I love Polar Bears!!
I hope to see you at the show on the 16th-17th as well.
Herbie is getting excited to see some new teddy bears!

Thanks everyone!

How adorable Jeannette! 
Thank you for posting a picture. You have a nice variety and all are so cute.
I think you are not alone. Most artist I know have a collection however many are on the small side. Nothing wrong with that! :)
I think they know how easy it would be to collect and just keep on going! I think because they create bears in a since each one is a part of them and regardless of letting them go to other homes they will always be a part of them. So in a since they have many.
Cheryl, thank you. :)
I appreciate everyone's concern, well wishes and prayers for me. I really didn't want to burden any of you. My intention was to show you some bears and explain why many are put away for now and why I looked so tried. :)
I have received many PM's and again I thank you all. You all have the hearts and souls of giants!!!  

I just saw the other pictures on your blog.
Wonderful!!
How far did Neil have to run?

What a dream come true Brenda for your husband!
And your Grandson? couldn't look more proud!!!

Thanks again!
Jeanette I would love to see your three!

Jane that was my biggest worry!
He has been taken before and I'm lucky to have been able to stop the thieves twice now.
He's so small (5 pounds) anyone can pick him up and take him. The Service Dog Jacket he wears doesn't seem to stop a bad guy!!
He's most important in my life and loved beyond words (I'm sure you know) and I would die if anything happened to him!!

I LOVE his face!!!!!!!!!     
Beautiful bear!
Happy New Year!

Oh if Herbie could only garden for me!!
I will share a story if OK....
I have been in the hospital for a few days getting home yesterday. Herbie is my Service Dog and allowed in the hospital. However not all the nurses/employees are good about it. He was in his carrier being a good boy but not happy that he wasn't by my side when they took me to Xray. Herbie got out of his carrier and tracked me all the way to Xray which was quite far from my room. My husband didn't even know he was gone!!! 
I'm on the gurney and all of a sudden Herbie comes running in the "holding room" I was in.  :)
I was glad he made it without being stolen!!
Dogs are my favorite people!!!!

Love your new year banner!
Cute!
Happy New Year to you too.

I have 2 Charlie Bears.
Kojak and Rigsby. Both from the Isabelle Collection.

Same to you Sandra.

Happy new year to you too!

Same to you!
