Well here we are, on the very last day of 2008! Where did the year go? I pondered that question and put my thoughts in blue and grey (as opposed to black and white ... one of the pleasures of blogging!) Have you reviewed 2008 from a bear related perspective? If so, please let us know your thoughts, or leave a link to your blog/website review below so we can all share your perspective ...
This is mine:
Looking forward to reading yours!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! :dance:
Nice retrospective, Paula. I always enjoy reading your blog.
Loved reading your perspective, Paula!!
Hmmmm. My bear related perspective....as it pertains to my work. Well, I know I've become too fragmented in styles and sizes this year. Though my collector friends seemed to accept these new bears, I've found I really miss my traditional style. I designed mainly for price point this past year with the economy in mind. I'll be bringing back a few larger, more traditional bears in the next few weeks to test the waters. Perhaps I'm just over-processing. Ya think?!
ha!
Warmest bear hugs, :hug:
Aleta
Thank you Tami! That's such a lovely compliment!
Aleta, I don't think you're over processing at all and I completely understand where you are coming from in terms of wanting to reinstate the larger, more traditional bears ... I'm delighted to hear that! To coin a phrase, you're a girl after my own heart!
That was nice reading Paula and it makes you think, I will be spending a couple of days from tomorrow working out where I spent time last year that was wasted and what I hope to achieve next year with the bears and form some sort of plan. I want to be more aware of time this year - I didn't get my Christmas bears done until a day or two before Christmas this year and that is bad planning. I totally missed out on times like Valentine day and missed Halloween for bears except for one commission (which was quite late too). So I will have a few targets set out this year without getting myself stressed out though.
I do love your new avatar and the bear is just gorgeous.

Thanks Pauline! I'm very happy if what I wrote has given you the impetus to review your planning ... here's to a well organised, pre-planned 2009!
