Hi Everyone
I just wanted to share my weekend with you! I was invited to teach a bear making workshop in a city about 2 hours from my home by the owner of the local patchwork shop. It had been over 6 months since I had taught a class so I felt a little rusty. The ladies in the class were very lovely and the smiles at the end of the class were absolutely priceless and it reminded me of why I love teaching bear making!
Now THAT's a great picture! So glad you had success and those bearmakers sure look like they enjoyed themselves. What darling bears! They're so fuzzy ::cute::
Lisa, you have the sweetest, most youthful face. I'll bet you make a really encouraging and receptive teacher.
q.D.paToOtieSWow that looks like fun! I love taking classes from other bear artists. Looks like you had a great group of students too!
Past Time BearsVery nice photo, Lisa . . . . I'd like to take a class from you!

Patsy Lake BearsLisa I be that has helped to get your MoJo back, you all look as though you had a good class. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Thanks Shelly for making me smile. 
A good friend of mine turned 50 today and yesterday my lovely children said that I look older than her. 
Lisa- they were a great group of ladies - 2 mother and daughters and 2 named KIM!
Sue Ann - you don't need to take classes but it would be fun to get together and share techniques.
Michelle and Tracey - We did have fun!
Yes Patsy - it did help get my mojo back and thank you!
Matilda Huggington-beareThankyou for the Pic Lisa. I just love workshop photos. Actually I just love workshops.

LuxembearsLisa that is a darling picture! I love the bears. You must have had a wonderful time with your students and fuzzy friends. :clap: :clap: :clap:
BrisbaneLooks like you had a lot of fun! I love taking classes. I always learn so much. It is also good to be around other bear makers. I am signed up for three in June - my birthday present.
I was thinking at one stage of doing you class in Sydney but due to work commitments I can't make it. 
Lisa that is a wonderful photo!! So glad you got a chance to get back to teaching. The bears all look wonderful!
q.D.paToOtieSLisa- they were a great group of ladies - 2 mother and daughters and 2 named KIM!
Wow, two named Kim? And there are usually about 2 or more of us (Lisa's) hanging around! I've always thought we (the Lisa's of the world) needed to start a club or something!!!
You know that's why I always have to refer to myself with my middle name in place - Lisa Bunting Thoms. There's a www.LisaThoms.com website and it's a dentist!!! I wonder how many bear collectors have ended up on her website and thought...what????????
Anyway, looks like you were a good teacher too. Everyone completed their bear!
Hey Lisa
I agree we should start a club!!
It is very funny with the Lisa's here in Australia. Within 250klms of me the another 2 Lisa's live - both are internationally known as bear artist's.
When I was at school I was the only one out of 800!! As an adult I know about 10 ladies named Lisa all around the same age.
ps both daughter's were named Kim!
Woodbury Park BearsHi Lisa
