I'm there!!  :hug:

Better lay in a lot of wine, though! We drink a fair bit of Aussie and NZ grape, actually--good stuff!

Weird, isn't it? I don't worry about the sincerity of compliments, and I'm usually really cool about taking criticism (raised three daughters), but the best I can do when I'm stuck at the center of attention is to fix a wooden smile on my face and dig in my feet and try not to run for it. It feels like a panic attack.

I have no problem giving speeches in public (used to be an English Prof), if I have to, but this is different.

I guess the worst of it is that I haven't had a decent haircut in years!

Well, Lisa . . . I've gotta congratulate you anyway for your mag article.  I'm sure it's wonderful and very helpful - as you are yourself!

Kerrie - fantastic article and much deserved!  Your bears are, indeed, the best dressed!  Ashlee sounds like a daughter any mom would be delighted to have!  And that little Tiler . . . what a sweetheart!  This is a great post!

Lisa..the article is very well written and I'm sure it will prove very helpful to those just starting out. Well done! :clap:

Kerrie...your daughter is beautiful! I have a daughter who is 12 and she really loves the bears too. She has already made a couple and won a prize in The Melbourne Teddy Event junior section a year or so ago. She adores all things craft and travels to every bear and craft show with me...it's really special to be able to share such a passion with your daughter.
Is the Brisbane show you're talking of Bears In Brisbane or the Australian Bear Convention on the Gold Coast the following week?
I am going to the second one...would love to attend both but would have to stay over and it would be too costly.

giggling at Lisa...

I use to sleep under tables sometimes at bear shows because not just for being dead tired, but because i get embarrassed, i'm really quite shy in the flesh (not with a few glasses of wine though)..it doesn't appear i'm shy in writing at all, but believe me i am..

hehe.. Lisa, I do believe you were having a glass of wine when I met you. You were not shy.. you were absolutely gorgeous! And funny.. as a matter of fact.. I KNOW you were having wine cause I remember your hubby went off to get you more.
LOL
Hugs
