Posts: 751Hi all,
Does anyone fancy doing a Bear Swap.
I would be happy to do the organising part of it but would really appreciate any input regarding the theme.
I suggest a deadline of April 29th to get the names in and mid June for despatch of our bears.
If anyone is interested please you can email on teddylady123@hotmail.co.uk or PM me
I really enjoyed doing last years.

Bear-HandsCOME GUYS LETS HAVE A CHEER US UP SWAP WITH THE BAD WEATHER AND RECCESSION I THINK WE COULD ALL DO WITH MAKING A SWAP CRITTER/BEAR AND BRING A SMILE 
Bear-HandsCOME ON GUYS NORMALLY THE RESPONSE IS HUGE, I think this is a real pick me up idea, such a good feeling making a bear for another artist, we all deserve a little treat and what a perfect way to give each other a lovingly handcrafted gift.

Emo BearsI've already signed up.
Well, it sounds like fun but being as new as I am I don't think I'd better. Someone might be disappointed to get my bear!
It's bad timing for me. 
But I'm glad to see Karon putting forth the idea and organizing the swap. It's a great idea.

Bear-Handsjust wanted to put it up for all to see. come on you swappers..... you know you want to xx
Posts: 751I have been thinking about the "theme" issue and I'd like to see what you think.
There have been several good ideas put forward, therefore what about making ANY summer theme bear but making a point about how you embraced the theme.
EG. When I made my bear for Beth last year I told her that "Rosie" was based on a rose that I have in my garden. It is white with a centre of the palest pink.
When the pictures are post the recipiant also posts your description of how the bear is representative of a "Summer Bear".
I have to say I already have a picture in my mind, of a bear who's colouring may surprise everyone!!! I am getting itchy fingers.
Emo Bears
Sounds good to me!
Bear-Handsthe cogs are ticking..... are there anymore swappers, i think the new members to TT should join in, great way of getting to know everyone!!!
