:dance: :dance: This is my very first feature article.....and I am over the moon! Valerie and Dawn did such a wonderful job.....thank you so much ladies! :hug: :hug: If anyone hasn't seen it yet, and wants to have a look, I've posted a direct link below. There's even a picture of me at the top bear_shocked .........those don't happen very often if I can help it! bear_whistle bear_grin

I have to say that it feels very different to read about myself this way. But it's an experience I would love to have again! bear_grin

:clap: What a great article, I loved reading it. You sure have lots of pets, sounds like something I would like. Our family loves all the creatures also. I was impressed with all the things you are doing with the bear making and can't wait to see whats in the future. You are a great example of a true bear artist. Thanx for sharing and I am sure your family is so proud of you as they should be.

bear_wub Thanks gals!! You sure know how to build a girl up.......I feel great!! :dance: This article is so exciting for me. Something I've dreamed of for a long time now......woo hoo!!! :dance:

As far as the new design, the work is sloooow with everything else that's been going on besides bear making (our vacation, cleaning carpets last week, and now repainting a couple of rooms in our house). But, I've got a prototype going now that I'm very pleased with so far.......my mom is getting it for her birthday. Hopefully I won't have to tell her to hide it in the closet! bear_whistle bear_grin :crackup:
