p.s I have been having internet problems, so I am sorry if I don't relpy to others posts. My internet keeps crashing. I hope this post makes it.

Hi Daphne and everyone,

I have looked for boxes for awhile now. I found some places that do them - display boxes, there are many different types, dye boxes, window display etc. The only problem is they are very expensive. I could not justify the expense if I was not putting them in stories etc. If you are interested Daphne, I will forward the links here later. I have to relocate them on a cd of favorites.

Hi everyone,

I got something wonderful in the mail today from Sandy (Lovebudbears). She sent me this beautiful candle Alex Lemonade Bears Benefit  Artist Glass. It is wonderful and boy does it smell good. It has a little lemon drop hanging from it and inside the candle is a lemon wedge. Wonderful pictures of little bears in flowers on the glass. It is just so lovely.
I will be emailing Sandy and asking if she made this.

She also included a cd on the event and a very nice letter.

Thank you Sandy! I have it right next to my computer in my teddy studio so I can smell the wonderful aroma.

Hugs dear heart and thank you for brighten up my day with this wonderful surprise.

Hugs kassie

Hi everyone,

For all of you who know and adore Wildcat – Renea.
We had a teddy play day (well really it was at night)  and I had a wonderful time meeting Renea personally. We had talked on the phone and it was wonderful being able to give her a hugs and getting to know her even better.  She is a wonderful person and I am honored to call her my friend. There are some people you meet and just know you like them and for me Renea is one of them.

We shared bears and I met her avatar bear and I say the same as Aleta. The picture goes not do him justice. He is just adorable. I did not want to put him down.

We giggle and talked about bear stuff and shared views and just had a great time.
We had so much fun it as about midnight when we decided to call it a night. The time just flew by. I wish we had started sooner that day, but next time.

No we did not take any pictures. For I am afraid I would have broken the camera with my Anemic coloring right now. LOL
Renea is as beautiful as she is inside.  I look forward to many years of friendship and laughs and tears when they happen and sharing.

Hugs dear heart and thank you for the wonderful visit.

Your friend Kassie

Hi Sandra,

Big dido to all the above. I can't add much more. I can only say, I came in TT to do a follow up and saw your post. No one should stop doing what they love. It is what makes us who we are. There are things in this business that sometimes makes us feel this way, but you know what. Your bears are made for someone and someone's out there and if you stop making them they will never meet your wonderful bears. That would be really sad indeed. And if you stopped making them then you will never know what may have come if you continued 

hugs dear  :hug:  :hug:
