Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Nanc,
Please dont feel so down....   It makes me sad to see a gal with the ability to create such adorable little critters as yourself being so unsure. I have been feeling the same as yourself. But it makes me feel really uncomfortable to see that items such as yours and Judi and our newest sweetie, Tami, are not moving like they should. There is really a terrible problem with the system that we have to use to sell or work.
Please just keep you chin up! We all are behind you. 

Hey Judi,

Sure    Thats right    I remember running home from Elementary School to watch it.
What about Happy Days or Mork and Mindy?

Oh I loved the BEE GEES. Especially brother Andy Gibb. It was so sad when he died 

Oh Hey! I just remembered something..... BODY SUITS!     member?!? They snapped together in the crotch.... We wore them with the hip hugger pants that had the elephant bells! Wow, I haven't said that word in long time!!

Penny,
Yeppers I remember HR Puff N Stuff! I think that the guy who created that show was puffin' stuff! If ya know what I mean    tee hee

Hey Deb,
You are correct! We are miles from anywhere. I am about 6 1/2 hours from San Antonio. I hope that you will enjoy your time there. San Antonio is a great place to visit. If you have not yet checked it out, here is a link with visitors information. San Antonio attractions

Hey, I have a question for y'all. This really does not pertain to being a girl, but it did to me having 4 brothers. We have talked about the bikes with the banana seats right. Did any of you have a brother that had a bike with the banana seat with the "sissy bar" on the back, and the "forked extension" front wheel? So that they were like choppers. And what about making "creepy crawlers"? 

This brings back sooooo many memories! Especially the Donny Osmond thing... My mom kept my Donny and Marie dolls for me, she passed away this summer,  now have them. I loved him so much    I too did sit in front of out television with my cassette recorder up against the speaker. I still have the recordings.
Penny, you mentioned

Are those also known as what we called them "goucho pants"? They came up to just below the knees and flaired like a dress but were actually pants. We usually wore them with "Stevie Nicks" boots or wooden clogs with leather uppers.
This was very fun to read. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks Daphne 

wow Nancy, that is kinda weird..
I have even received letters through ebay from a "seller/buyer" asking "Where is my item I purchased from you?" and "Where is the payment you owe me?" When I check out the item number, there is no such auction. The first couple times it happened to me I "freaked". But now I just know that they are spoofs.

Man, I am so sick of receiving junk e-mails from paypal saying that I need to update my record, or I have extended my limit and things like that.     I have been getting some from ebay too. I know that they are just "spoofs", but I really am tired of them. I probably get up to 10 or so a day.
I was wondering if anyone else has been getting them too?

hmmmm, I would have to put a hurtin on him too!   :twisted:

Dear Judi,
I am sorry to hear about your kitty. It is such a heartache when something like this happens. Like Jenny said, kids are alot better at dealing with things like this than adults. It still is very hard to say the right things without upsetting them to much. Was it an accident? Or had he been sick?
We are all with you in spirit  :hug:   :hug:

:hug:  We luvs ya  :hug:

After checking out Doodlebears outstanding pictures from our New Years Eve party. Oh! I have to first say Thank you so much for my gorgeous dancing partner Mr Tom Seleck! As we say down here, "Boy Howdy!!" :dance:
Okay back to the pics, I went to the Users Photos list to put some names with these faces. I must admit, we have one beautiful bunch of guys and gals!! Dont y'all agree? I just love seeing everyone from all over the world. This just kinda blows me away. To speak from someone from Australia, Japan, UK, Scotland, Canada, Belgium, Russia, France...Oh by the way.... Marion, My 22 year old son saw your picture and asked "Wow" mom is she a model???
:hug:   :hug:  You are all a very lovely group of people and it is a pleasure to be in your company  :hug:   :hug: 
Have a wonderful New Year!! 

Generally I leave my tree up until after the New Year, but this year we took it down early.
For one, I am starting to get a stiff neck from trying to watch my television. You know, we have to move furniture to accommodate for the tree!  Kinda messes up the "Feng Shui", if ya know what I mean 
The lights are still on the house though, gotta get the hubster to take them down this weekend.

Dear Sandi,
Man, that really stinks! The nerve of that guy 
I really hate to see this happen to you, especially now.
Keep your head up kid  I wish the best to you and your mama.

Dear Marin,
I am so sorry to hear about your sweet Gracie... :hug:
I know that you will have many, many memories of her to remember always.

The hug is my favorite sign of affection.

It can mean so much,
and many things at the same time.
It can be a sign of love, friendship, support, caring, comfort or anything.

So here you go.
All I can say it will do is brighten someone's day.
I mean, we all need a hug once in a while.

Goodness knows,
we could all REALLY use a hug sometimes.
Soooo enjoy your hug....

God Bless you, your family, & your friends

Debbie,
I totally appreciate the warning, even if it was a hoax.    There is sooooo much cr_p going on right now! We can never be to safe. I have to say, I am so sick of the junk mail that I have received from so called "ebay buyers" when I dont even have a thing listed. Also from paypal and ebay saying to update my information.
Anyhow, thanks again Deb  :hug:

I have notified the gal that has the original, legitimate auction about this. She has not yet responded to me. I will let you all know when she does.

I think that the thief just copied and pasted this auction to their own. Very easy to do. I can tell by the way everything is miss-matched with the borders and all.

Good idea Deb,
I will write her right now.

Hey Judi,
That is of a bear that I had made a couple years ago. This auction has been copied from a seller named "chibear". chibear has a legitimate auction of this bear on right now.
This is nuts. Ebay has gotten so bad lately....

Oh Fran! I just LOVE the sailor bear!  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:
He is very cool! His long nose, the freckles, his mohair. The pose you have him set in is great!
Excellent work.
Oh, his hat is awesome too  Great tecnique!

Hi Fran,
Sounds like the ebay "spoofers" have found you too. I receive probably 3-5 of these a day. If you have paypal, you will probably be getting fake e-mails telling you to update your paypal info too. Do not fall for it! They never as you to do anything like this. If you think that it is a legitimate letter you can always forward it to: spoof@ebay.com   first and they will tell you right away if it was from them or not.
It's a frightning thing at first but you begin to recognize the fake ones after awhile.
Best of luck. 

Hey Shari!
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with a secret stash!!
I remember telling my mom that it is pretty sad when I have to sneek a candy bar into the bathroom without my kids big sad cow eyes  looking up at me trying to make me feel guilty. But of course it always worked
