Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Poor darling Koala's I feel for you in South Australia at the moment.  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:

This fellow is also an international icon too.   His/Her Rescuer giving a drink of water, was on the news tonight the heat had burnt his/her paws.

Yeah sounds like a good plan for a trip over.  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:

Glad to hear your ok Kezjoy, 10km away is way to close. Gippsland has been devastated. bless you. :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Thanks for thinking of us Terrie, we are lucky, had the wind of changed the fires closest to us could have been coming our direction, thankfully we are fine.

Watching tonights news, this fellow koala and his fireman rescuer have become an overseas icon, he is one of the lucky ones.

Pray for all that are struggling now, Australia has gotten behind all the victims to assist them in their time of need, its been a wonderful support for them so far, with a long road to recovery.

Some of the fires have been contained, hoping the weather will be kind for the next few days until its more under control. :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:

The fires have devastated us all not only in Victoria, New South Wales and close to the hearts of many Australians and now heartfelt by the world. Many of us know friends, relatives and workmates who have lost lives or properties, its awful.   Our poor fellow Queenslanders up north in Townsville are suffering with floods as well. Pray for everyone that has suffered. :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:   :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:

Not only people and properties have suffered so dearly, thought I would share this local websites..

Hi Ellen, this is a great question, and I agree with Bobbie's comments about tags detracting from your work.

I normally sew a shrinky tag or hang a shrinky tag around my critters neck when its sold to is new collector, up until then its photographed and displayed untagged.
