Hi everyone, 
Oooh, I love this thread, (thanks Becky) and it's something that I have often thought about, particularly when I have wanted to start a new topic (normally something loony!) but then decided against it because I thought people might think I'm a little mad! 
I have been a member of TT for several years now, (probably about six years), and can remember this being an extremely busy forum. Yes, we did get some heated discussions going on, but also some extremely interesting ones. The general feel of the forum was ( and still is!!) one of being extremely friendly, most people chipping in to help in some way, but it wasn't always about "bears". We'd also have chats about the funnier side of life, silly things that would happen, just about anything really. We had (and still do have) a section where we can turn to friends for personal/life problems which I feel is very important on the forum too, along with a section for newbies.
I visit here every day and confess that I don't always sign in. I do if I want to make a comment or "like" someone's bear, though currently "liking" is a problem as we have to wait 30 seconds in between "liking" and that is way too long to hang around so a lot of bears go "unliked" I'm afraid.
I joined Facebook a couple of months ago (after saying I'd never join!) and to be honest I'm bored already, as you are bombarded with too much rubbish. But, I have never been bored with TT and I do think that gradually others will become a little fed up with some of the social sites and return here.
Well, I have always supported TT so will put my thinking cap on and try to come up with some topics (which will probably be light-hearted ones!) but that is no good if no-one makes any comments! So, come on everyone, support lovely TT and get those keyboards clicking away!
Hugs to you all ...

Sounds as though he is going to get even more beautiful. 
And of course, YES, you will have to post many, many,many more piccies Becky as he continues to grow!!! 
(pretty please ...)

You're so lucky Becky as Petey is gorgeous! What lovely colouring too. What breed is he?

What a beautiful little picture, and taken of one of my favourite breeds. I just want to reach through my monitor and tickle that tum!
Oooooooooooo, that sounds brilliant ...... lucky you Joanne!! I'd love to attend something like that but it's bit of a long "hop" from here in the UK!
It should be extremely interesting though and very good fun with such a brilliant "teacher"! Look forward to seeing everyone's results of their
airbrushing!
Have fun.
Hugs,

Thank you so much Melisa, Lisa, Peter and Pauline, your comments are most appreciated xx

Hello everyone,
I would just like to post a picture here of my bear "Cassidy" who is now up for adoption. He is just over 15" tall and made from a lovely Schulte blend of mohair and silk. If you would like to know more about him, then please either visit my website or visit this link: http://www.barlingbears.co.uk/bears_det … ssidy.html
I hope you like him...
Many thanks for reading my ramblings!
Hugs to all,

I've just had to transfer this because I had it originally in the wrong section! doh!
Thank you so much Susana xx
Very sweet indeed!
He is lovely!! I bet you are tickled pink with him and so you should be! Your first little bear is always very special!

Hi Sue,
Yes, I agree with Peter, as Blithe is very appealing and full of character, and looks as though he may have a little mischievious nature! (sorry don't know how to spell that, bet it's wrong!!).
Have a wonderful time at Stratford!

Aw, one very cute little snowball!
What a gorgeous little fox, very cute!
Mmmm, lovely mouthwatering colour Sue, so the bear's name is very appropriate! I just love this colour range ...

Aaawww, what a sweet and lovely idea! I love the thought of a little mouse making clothes for other little mice ....

What a lovely character, he's super!
Super photo! And those eyes are amazing! I'm really loving your photos SueAnn ....
What a beautiful bear, actually looks "pretty" with such a gorgeous face and innocent expression. You are a very lucky lady SueAnn to be near and be involved with such a fantastic place. I think I would pay money to work in a place like that!!
