Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Both are very sweet boys. I love their "loved" look.

He's very cute! Hard to believe he's only 5 inches tall. Did your collector ask for a pandaphant or was that your idea? I have to say, I've never heard of a pandaphant before but he very appealing.    

Not surprising, Jenny. He's beautiful.

How cute. Many baby buns. Looks like mom just had to get out of the house for a little quiet time.    

His face is truly amazing. I've just been staring at him for five mintes and he looks so real. He's wonderful.

Wow, Jane! You never let us down when it comes to photos. I think we need to add Official TT Photographer to your title of Celebration Ambassador! I saw many tables for artists I'm not familiar with and many I know. Now to go back and look at each one more carefully.

Very, very cute.

Peta, I love this little guy with his big eyes and sweet little tongue showing.    

I'm working on mine swap and trying to get it done in time while still trying to move back into my sewing room after being displaced by my son coming home a year ago. The swaps are just wonderful. I'm enjoying all of them.

Hi Amy, welcome to TT. Like everyone, I do admire the work and look of your bears.

Oh, I love this baby. She is just adorable.    

Wendy, I totally agree. There have been so many, many wonderful creations.

Ellen, I think you are right on, at least for me and in so many parts of my life. Thanks for your post; it was as if you talking directly to me about me. :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

You are spot on, Daphne. Like Tammy, I've been having this conversation with myself, too, for a while now. I'm in an area where there are no bear people so I do enjoy the contacts I have here, and Paula just gave us another for bear-centered people. I'm truly thinking about limiting myself to those groups/guilds that help me grow with my bears.

I hope your friend is ok, Aleta. Such a young age is scary. I have a girlfriend who also had a heart attack but she was late 40's/early 50's. She wasn't even sure that was what she was having. She's very thin, but really doesn't eat all that well. I think she's had to change her habits and she gets regular checks.

Congratulations, Sandi. That's great news. You did a wonderful job of setting up the whole site.

Those who didn't drop in for chat, you don't know what you missed. Those Aussie gals really know how to party.

I don't know how you do so much with such little, tiny things. I love your bears.

I have to agree with everyone: your guy is pretty special.

Aw, Mikki...what a sweet little tribute to Sam. You definitely should send that photo to Dave. Your work is amazing.

It was a terrible accident. The pilot didn't express any concerns according to the controller.

It was noted a little later in the morning shows that one of the passengers was a 9/11 widow and she was going to Buffalo to honor her husband on what would have been his birthday...I think they said 59th birthday. By the looks of the news video it's amazing that more people were not killed on the ground.

Life is so fragile.

I'm excited, too. It starts tomorrow at 2 pm on the west coast and like Nancy, I'll probably need a few naps throughout the 24 hours. This is my first 24 hour show and I've already told my son and husband they'll have to man the computer while I catnap.

Sandi, you've done such a great job of putting everything together; thank you.

I didn't realize so many of you were on facebook. I really feel out of it now. But like Aleta said, I'm just not sure I have enough time because I know I don't always spend my time in the best way.

Tell me why you guys like it. Can I find your page without joining...just to see what all the fuss is about?

So cute.  I enjoy your work so much, both of you.

I do love your bears. They always make me smile.
