Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Melanie - I scanned you the page in an e-mail so you could try and read what TBR said about your little furry feline cat. They used your avatar picture. It's on page 64 under Felted Friends. It is so cute!! You should be proud of yourself!!

:clap: Congratulations Amy!! I know you must be thrilled!! :clap:

What a big surprise!! That is wonderful Jane!!! Now I see what you wanted the photo for. I know you spent a lot of loving time on that Birthday card!!!

That's plan scary looking!!!

Marion  - I'm a 7 also and my husband is also a 9. The description doesn't fit my husband either.
That is funny that you are a 7 and engaged to a 9 like me. Well, soon will be married and like me! Ha! Ha!

I'm a 7 but some things don't fit my profile on 7. I'm a little of everything as I'm sure everyone can find a little of themselves in all the numbers.

What a powerful message for gaining strength through any circumstance!! Thanks Daphne!!! May God continue to bless you and give you strength!!

:hug:

Laura -

Daphne - Take care of yourself and know brighter roads are ahead of you!! My parents take care of and have my 98 year old grandmother living with them. She is getting bad want go into that, but just know I can see where your coming from!! Hang in their!!! :hug:

Shari - ebay has slowed down and this month is harder on us teddy bear artist. Don't take it personal because I love that little guy!! If I had any extra money right now I would buy him. He is perfect in everyway!! I wouldn't change a thing!! Hang in their!!! This to shall pass!!  :hug:

           Clare - Your so funny!! I've heard people say that their kids sound like their is more than what their truly is. I love the name Bethany beautiful!!! I'm going to fold clothes. I'll check back in later!!!! Keep chatting away!!!

Kim- Sounds about like my weekends!! I've got laundry to fold and put away yuke!! It's calling me though!!

He will be headed home tonight!! He is off for several days before he heads back out. He is going on a field trip with my daughter on Tuesday. She is so excited!! Do you have children?? I only have the one Caitlin. She'll be 12 in September.

Welcome back home to TT Louise!!

I know when me and my husband first got married I found it very hard for him to be gone for so long. Now we've been married 16 years and I have made that time me time!! So, I work hard on the bears while he is away so I can focus on him when he is home. I wish he had been home this weekend though. We had those bad storms come through and it was just crazy here Saturday early morning. I was afraid. I'm not when he is here.

Erin - I remember seeing your Birthday is tomorrow Happy Birthday and Anniversary!! I'm sure you'll hear it right hear tomorrow all day!!!

Clare - Yes, my husband is a photographer and he is in the peak season of his work. Things are getting done because he is gone. When he is here he likes my full attention. Which it should be that way since he is gone so much.

Clare- I'm here chat away!! I've been cleaning house and getting ready for the first of the week. My husband comes home tomorrow and I like everything clean before he arrives.

My husband is a photographer and he has been all over the place. Texas is one of the places he has practically lived in. I have gone with him on the long Texas trips. It is very flat in Texas, you can go for miles and see nothing. The people are all friendly and nice that I have met their. Dallas roads can be confusing. You'll learn them. I can't drive through Dallas. It just makes me to nervous!!! It also gets hot in Texas as it is in Florida. That is about all I know or remember about Texas. Sue Ann will help you out more as living in Texas is different than visiting.

I love any and all chocolate!! I think I would have to say Cadbury is my favorite though!!

My neighbor across the street called me Friday and asked if I had heard the weather??? I told her no I don't watch much TV. (I have to confess that I don't listen to the radio or news much due to struggling from depression for years. TV just isn't very healthy for me and I just don't watch it.) I had several neighbors call me Friday early evening and asking if they could come use our basement if it got bad with the storms. I went to bed last night ready for the worst. I got the basement ready with flashlights, water, food, battery radio, first aid kit, ect.. for anything that came our way... (Tornados) We had bad thunderstorms headed at us last night. It hit about 1:00am this morning. I got up when the storm started and went to let our cat in from outside. I looked out and saw to my surprise two fire trucks next door putting out a fire. My neighbors house caught on fire. I of course panic and called over their and they answered. Thank God!!! They are all okay!! They caught it before it was to bad!! The fire started on the outside. They said it could have been lighting or wiring malfunction. It was lighting bad while the fireman were over their!! I think they were more afraid of the lighting than the fire!! Scary!!! We got up this morning and everything is calm again!!! Yeah!! My neighbors next door are all alive!! Yeah!!! We didn't have to use the basement. Yeah!!   Nashville, TN was hit unfortunately the worst on Friday. The last count that have been found died is eleven. We have family their and all is well just upset about the deaths around them. Pray for Tennessee families that lost loved ones!!! Also, remember my neighbors as they are still in shock over the house fire. :pray:

The pictures are of Nashville, TN after the storm yesterday.

Catherine -
  Brinkley is cute and I love the pink paws, feet, and nose!! You did a great job!! You should be proud of yourself!!!

Jane-
I guess you remember me?? I bought two of your wonderful bears Gabrielle and Young Gentleman.

On my ebay auctions I make sure I say... "payment is due 7 days of the closing of auction with no exceptions." If they don't pay I e-mail them and remind them of the 7 day payment agreement. So far I haven't had any problems after the 7 day period. I think ebay states you have to allow 7 or 10 days before reporting anyone for not paying. I'm not sure but you can read up on it on ebay or someone else can help out here and shed some light. I'm sorry you are having trouble getting payment for one of your cutties!! I would say after the 7 or 10 days offer it to the second highest bidder and report the other person to ebay. 

Hey girls, I wish I could attend a teddy bear show!!! Where I live and where they are all held are sooooo far away. I would have to take up a donation just to get their and back!!! I never have been to one and I never have been an exhibitor. I wish the Southern States would get more teddy push for stuff like that!!! Any way be sure and take lots of pictures and information so I can attend here on teddy- talk!! Good luck to you all!! I know you all have worked hard to get teddy bears ready for the show!!! It sounds like Shelli stressed her way through trying to get enough teddy bears ready to go!! A BIG JOB!! I hope her family survived her mad rush!! HA! HA! Be safe and have fun most of all!!

Paula - First of all... this person who left you feedback should not have items on e-bay and go away to where they can't watch their auctions. Excuses are the first thing you can see that this person has a lot of. I always read into everyones feedback. I know some people give poor feedback based on they can't be responsible for their actions. They don't like you telling them they are wrong ect.. I know I must be passive but, I just don't say anything negative because I know the other person will almost every time return poor feedback. Yes, I'm a push over!! I also, don't know how to say NO. I'm learning though. I'm a middle child of three and I've always been a people pleaser. Sorry for your problems with this ebay seller!! Just know in your heart your not in the wrong they are!! People can read into things most of the time if they go past the feedback score. Take time to read, read, read all those feedbacks on both sides!!! Then, make your decision!! I hate the feedback scoring also, but what can we do? It isn't fair sometimes. What in life is really fair though? Who can you really count on to always make fair and wise decisions. The answer is we all have messed up and failed others. None of us is perfect. Feedback scoring is almost always going to be this way. Stick in their Paula!! We believe in you!!! 

SueAnn - This is imported Synthetic fur. Thanks!!!

Here is my first bunny for the year. I haven't made one in a long time. I got bunny fever this weekend and whipped one out. Everyone has done such a great job on the rabbits!!
