Just love this little guy, big sighs! 
He's looking really good Tami and has that huge 'I'm so cute'! factor
Getting rather frustrated with the delivery of TBT magazine from the UK to Australia - has anyone else been having problems in the last 4 months?
My problem with the magazine at the moment is that they either do not arrive or I'm getting them 2 to 3 weeks later than it use to take. They don't seem to be very good at answering email's or queries either so it is difficult to work out whether it is a problem with TBT or their postal system.
:dance: I have received quite a few cards now which is just so nice and I would like to thank everyone who has sent
Had me guessing too! Hubby took one look and said it is not real - I got up close and personal with the magnify glass and I reckon it is not real either but all the same it is very cute
Nice one Paula and love the colours
Oh Dobby is a real little cutie Jo - love his outfit too
:dance: I got my first card today - thanks Gail!
I would just like to say post early because mail coming from the UK to Australia is taking 3 to 4 weeks to get here and has been like this for the past 4 months - this is affecting letters and parcels. 
"Shut the noise motor mouth" I feel like doing that to my hubby sometimes too!
:dance: Look out everyone my cards are on the way!
I was a little shocked when I took a bear to be posted to America to find that I had to pay a AUD$9 surcharge because it weighed more than 453grams. This is apparently to fund the USA's newly introduced package scanning operation - maybe that should read 'scamming' operation - what an outrage! 
It is almost like another import tax in disguise. As if the richest country in the world can't afford to do this as part of their normal operations as every other country in the world does - without surcharge. Is this the FREE trade we keep hearing about from America?
Not exactly something that you can ask the collector to pay on top of the already high postage. Not a happy bunny when I have 2 more packages to send to America 
:dance: Way to go! Nice one Beth - you have done a wonderful job :clap:
I just had to add this picture after seeing the one of Tami's dogs Tiff & Cooper looking out of the window and watching the world go by.
Millie (Norwich Terrier) and Amy (mini Dachs) on their special box in the study on Lizard watch or anything else that moves!
Another bear is finished 
This one turned out with some unusual colours as I tried to capture some of the colours in one of my doona covers

Are you...? (please state all that are relevant)
An artist
If you're an artist or dealer, how many bears do you usually sell per year & how many have you sold in the last year (roughly speaking)?
This year I reckon I've sold about 10 bears and as for other years can't really put a figure on it as it varies.
If you collect artist bears, who are your favourite artists? Too many to name
Has the recession affected the number of bears you've purchased in the last year or so? No because I buy very few
How much would you pay for a well made artist miniature bear? (change to own currency if neccessary eg. less than $30 [US])
£51 - £70
Does my bum look good! :crackup:
Beautiful Beth! Well done you!
:clap: :clap: How good are these! So well done too
Yep, this poor kitty certainly gave me a few smiles and a giggle - looks like he is in real need of some TLC - nice one Jacqui! :clap:
