Hey everyone,

It's been a while.... bear_original  I have spent the last several months fighting depression and anxiety, which is why I disappeared from the Teddy Bear (bunny?) scene... But with the much needed and appreciated support of a couple of good friends through this time, I am back!  I hope everyone has been doing well; I look forward to seeing everyone's creations, and presenting mine again! It feels WONDERFUL!!

Nice to see you back and feeling better, Kim!  bear_thumb  bear_original

It must have been a hard time... :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Here it is good to enjoy Sring. we are having some sunny days and warm too, so it is good to have outside activities like cutting wood for next Winter, enjoying little rides on bicycle, doing some fixes in the house, planting new plants in our tiny flower bed and in pots.

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

Kimberly it's great that you got through and have come out the other side. I have gone through it...it took 2 years for me to work out what was happening...by which time I was in a nervous breakdown which rocked my world. I am so pleased you are getting through it. I am too...with the help of support from family and friends...and medication!! LOL
Looking forward to seeing your new bears...if you are anything like me the depression really got my creative juices flowing... and the bears helped me shoo away the 'big black dog'!!!

Thank you ladies SO much! Yes, things are looking up, I have the support of two really great friends who have helped me get out of my funk.  That whole saying "God sends people into your life for a reason" has never held more true than now. 

Well, I am slowly working on my bun bun, I am excited to show everyone!

Thanks again, everyo

Thank you all sooo much!  Lanie, I hope you get back in the swing of things again soon!! I feel so much better now that I have gotten out of my funk.  I know it's tough though... when you get in a funk, it's really hard to get back out of it!
