Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Lol, looks like lots of us forget or just can't get to messages. I have the same problems.. or I had another issue.. when my friend called to ask if I got her emails.. and I hadn't! ack. that always makes me so annoyed.

Hugs,
Melanie

I just wanted to mention I emailed them yesterday (thanks again Paula) and heard back from them today and they are switching my subcription to the Dollhouse magazine. Yay! That was easier than I thought it would be.

Hugs!
Melanie

Thank you, thank you Paula! You are a Gem. Glad to hear you are getting your refund!

Hugs!
Melanie

I still have my form sitting here... I just got it a couple weeks ago though.. but I am in Canada and the post seems to take forever. I was looking for an email address to ask them if I can switch my subscription to one of their Miniature publications.. I don't want the mag they are offering.. but I would LOVE a dollhouse or a mini one.

Hugs,
Melanie

Awe, she is soo cute. I'm sure you will have your hands full with that one!

Melanie

Thanks Christina, your Guys are so huge! Ghost is large.. but skinny.. he is just so active that he doesn't seem to put on much weight, He is only 13lbs.

Hugs!

Ooooh Maine Coons! They are Beautiful! All the pets are. .but I love the coonies.. heehee. I am biased though, I have a one too. So does my Brother and my Parents.. heehee.
I'll see if I have a pic of them....
I don't have a photo of my Brothers Coonie.. but the Black one is my Ghost and the Torbie is my Mom's Minnie.

Thanks for sharing the pics!!
Hugs!
Melanie

Thank goodness to hear she is doing better. I am thankful my cat Ghost has no interest in eating things that are not cat food. I had a dog (Rotti) who would eat antything.. and one day a kid threw a basket ball over the fence and he had been playing with it... I never thought anything of it when it disapeared.. then my Dog was not feeling well.. didn't want to eat treats I had for him.. which was not like him at all.. I was just making him an apointment with the vet when he THREW UP A BASKETBALL, right in front of me!  he popped it..... then ate it... lol. That dog would eat anything. I was so shocked he would eat that though..lol.

Glad to hear your Kitty is feeling better.. sending her and you healing hugs!
Melanie

Very beautiful. Congrats!

Hugs,
Melanie

That sounds amazing. You should come to Alberta Canada and see the rocky mountains. I have not been to many places but the few trips I have been on have been so much fun. I want to make a trip to Disneyland one year.
Can't wait to see your pictures!
Hugs,
Melanie

Awe, that is so wonderful. They are so sweet. My Cat Motley was dumped at my parents place in the country along with an almost starved kitten (I found out later from a neighbour, he had found it the same day I found Motley). We could not keep the cat because we had 2 dogs and 2 cats already so I got him neutered and got the other health issues he had taken care of.. and took him to the shop with me..lol. So we've had an office cat the past few years. He is such a good cat too.. .soooo affectionate and never ever does he try to get outside.. he is just happy to have a warm home with lots of food and cuddles. Rescued animals are usually pretty thankful to get into the good life
I found later that the neighbour managed to save the kitten he found and decided to keep her.
Hugs!
Melanie

Lol, it's true.. You have to think too.. I'm sure not everyone who works for the magazines is a Teddy Bear person. ...heehee, and yes we sure are a passionate bunch     

Hugs! Hugs! Hugs!
Melanie

Lol, yeah, it is kinda tacky... lol. but take it at the fact that they can now say "come shop with us". I'm sure they don't mean any disrespect. Think of it this way.. at the place I work.. if our competition closed it's doors I'm sure we wouldn't say, awe, bummer, how sad.... No we would be more along YES our competition is gone.. more business for us. I know Teddy Bear people don't think like that because we are just happy to have different magazines... and everyone is sad to see TBS gone... but for TBCI it will more than likely mean more ad's more subscriptions... more business... which will make their mag bigger and better.

Hugs!
Melanie

Heehee, that is very cute   
Hugs!
Melanie

Wow Lisa, that is a scary picture! ugh.  We have been getting tornado warnings all week here. The sky looked all "hangy" the other day when I was going out to pick up stuff for work.. I got stuck in a hail storm, but only for about ten mins or so. Then they issued the warning... I heard one did touch down not too far from here.. but I didn't hear much else.
Safe hugs,
Melanie

Husquavana makes great machines, mine is does embroidery and stuff.. but I never use it anyway.. lol... and I've heard wonderful things about pfaff and bernia. What I did when I bought mine many moons ago.. I took the VERY thickest thing I would ever sew and took that to the store to play with... and the BEST thing I did was talk to the service person in the store.. the guy who fixes the machines.. he/she will be able to give you even more information... they know the best which machine is good.

Good luck on your search!
Hugs,
Melanie

Yay! That is good news!
Hugs!
Melanie

Heehee, I'd send this one to my SO but he might use it! lol. 

Hugs!
Melanie

Ah, you know what.. don't let one Butthead ruin your fun and a great thing That is how I look at it anyway. There is bound to be a bad apple even in our bunch!    TT is a very friendly place 99% of the time. I would not even give it a second thought.
Hugs!!!
Melanie

Heehee, I love it..  . No I don't think that is greedy.. collecting is an obession.. and a fun one at that!     
Hugs!
Melanie

Wow, first off that embroidery is awesome! I'm sure she/he will find a lovely home.
I don't feel guilty sending off a bear.. but I always miss them. I spend so much time on each bear.. then I tend to have them in the studio for awhile either waiting for a show or website.. etc. So you get attached to them. But when a collector gets that bear and loves it just as much as you.. then it makes you feel so much better.

Good luck with the sale!
Hugs,
Melanie

omg .. sooooo cute!!!      .. heehee. That is just way too funny how she follows your daughter around.. heehee.

You should be able to use her wool for needle felting, I don't think it's all that hard to get clean.. I'm sure if you do a search for it online someone will tell you how. I have bought raw mohair locks and washed them.. I just had to be careful not to matt them! lol.
Hugs!
Melanie

Yay! Awesome pics Jane! Thanks so Much for posting them.
Congrats to everyone and to Samantha, it looked to be an awesome show!
Hugs!
Melanie
