Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hi Andrew,
I do believe I have found you one.  :clap: I put a deposit on it. I would think if they were all gone it would have said so and not have taken my deposit. You never know though. I will PM you with the info tomorrow. I'm a bit ill right now and need to lay down. I should know by tomorrow if my credit card gets charged too.
Fingers crossed and toes too!  :pray:
Hugs,
Cyndee

So sorry to hear....
I will pray for you all. Please keep us posted.  :pray:

I just joined too even though I'm just a measly collector!

Hey Laurie maybe we could share them! 

I want every one of those kittens!!
Merry Chritmas!

I'm sure your Mom will love your bear as I do and she will no doubt be tickled pink!!  :crackup: Pink is my favorite color!! 
Merry Christmas and be sure to tell us how surprised your Mother was to get this cute pink little bear!!
Hugs,
Cyndee

Sorry to hear of your misfortune! My husband is a Police Detective and as he says this is without a doubt the worst time for break ins! Most big malls here hire extra security just to roam the parking lots to keep and eye out. But the officer was right they were probably watching you! Bums!!! They'll get theirs in the end! 

Good one Tami!!!!
I sent it to my husband!! :crackup:

Hi Kristina,
Cathy is off the computer I'm sure for the night but here is the link she gave me.

Cyndee

Yes it does!! Thank you! :crackup:

I love your Teddy Tree! What a cute idea!
Everyone's homes look so festive!
Happy Holidays!

Thank you Tami!!!
I just finished sending my 25th card! Thank you so much for the link! My nephew is in Special Opts. He is a Green Beret. Unforunately because he is in Special Opts we are not allowed to know where he is and seldom hear from him. Because he is in a high risk unit we worry beyond belief for his safety. Being able to send these cards have help us tremendously!!! Rebecca has sent 20 cards out today all on her own!!
You are a special person Tami!
Thank you for your caring heart.
Hugs,
Cyndee

When you get it will you please share it with us?!
Congrats too! :clap:

If you are going to re list you can add your web info on your "Me" page.

Congrats Barbette!!

What a beautiful Big Boy!!!! :clap:

What I wouldn't give to have one of those! My all time favorite bear! A Polar! And a baby too boot!!

Carolynn how funny! I did the same thing! So much for remembering!!  :crackup:

Hi Karen,
I have been doing some checking and this is what I have found.
You should be sanctioned only for 30 days. After the 30 days your rating will automatically come up allowing you to list again. If of course you choose to do so.
Hope this helps :)

You do have to use a different email address and credit card to open another account. 

Thank you Sue.

Is this something new? Only allowing one eBay ID account? I have 3. One I buy from, one I sell from and the one my husband uses. I know for the longest time it was an issue that if a bad seller was shut down they would just open a new account and I thought eBay put up blocks to keep this from happening but surely you are not considered a "Bad" seller. I'm referring to those who take your money and don't send you your item. Not bear people of course!!! I bought $500 worth of Casa Cristina Dinnerware and was ripped off never seeing my items.
I know many are upset with eBay and for good reasons but I just hate to see anyone throw the baby out with the bath water. I love buying from bear artist on eBay and if not for eBay I probably wouldn't have found out that there was such a thing as a bear artists. Not to mention the wonderful people and dear friends I have met along the way.

Hi Karen,
I know this may sound like a hassle but can't you open a new account? Let your customers know. That way you can at least continue to sell until the other ID account is squared away? Just a thought. :(
You do so well on eBay I would hate to see you go!

Beautiful bears everyone! I have enjoyed all the wonderful pictures!! :clap:
I haven't started making any bears but have all the supplies needed to do so. Even a beautiful antique sewing machine I purchased from Cathy Forcino. I hope to give it a try soon.

I started collecting in 04 after the death of my Mother. My daughter who was 16 at the time was so devastated. I had tried to help her in many different ways but depression was taking a severe hold on her. The bond between the two was much more than Grandma and Granddaughter. They were soul mates and knew each others thoughts from the moment we adopted Rebecca at the age of 7 days. The two were inseparable. Then I discovered Artist Bears on eBay. It was if my Mom had a hand in it. When that first bear arrived it was just what the doctor ordered!!
We now have a collection of over 300 artist bears. I have a hand full of Steiff animals but would like to someday have nice antique bear.

I was afraid of that!!
Are you going to neuter him? I think I just answered my own question!  If you got him from the shelter he will have to be alter and that will help. I'll email you some tips but if he is already listening to Jack better than you he has already placed you lower in the pack. You can change that without a problem. The main reason big dogs end up in shelters is because the owner can't control them. It's sad because they really want to be a good dog, well behaved but the owners just don't know how to accomplish this. I'm sure you and Jack will be the right home for him. Two parents for a big dog is much better.    I wanted to ask you if you have a Tread Mill? If you can get him walking on it as soon as possible it will be a great help. Because he is so big he is going to require lots of exercise and this is a great way to burn off excess energy and then you can start with training him.
OK. I'm getting carried away!! I love dogs and miss the day to day training. They are so eager to please!
Email any time and I'll help you with all that I can.
Hugs,
Cyndee

Sounds good Erin. 
Let me know if you need any advise/help. Remember I use to train dogs professionally. As sweet a puppy I'm sure he is you will definitely need to make sure he knows that you are the "Alpha Dog" and not himself. No doubt he is going to be a big dog of over 100 pounds. I'm sure he will be a well behaved loving dog being owned by you.
Hugs,
Cyndee
