I Love Teddies Dec 16, 2005

Look what I got for Christmas from my husband!!!!  Joseph and Lotti from Catherine of Bumpkin Bears!  A fellow TTer!  It was supposed to be a surprise on Christmas, but the surprise came early.  What a great husband (he's teddy_bears_org on here)!

I sent the email with Joseph's picture and link to her site a month or 2 ago and said it would be a good Christmas present.  I usually show him bears and he kind of just looks really fast and then goes on to something else.  I guess he listened this time!  I figured I wasn't getting him so then I saw Lotti on ebay (I saw the link for ebay on Teddy Talk's Bears for Sale section) and thought I'm not losing another one (Joseph said reserved on her site but I didn't realize he was for me).  So I told him I really wanted Lotti and then he accidentally said he do you want another Bumpkin Bear and that he had already gotten one.  So now I got 2!  I'm a little sad I spoiled the surprise for Christmas morning but I'm thrilled they're here. 

This was the first time I've gotten a bear after only seeing it on the Internet.  I was nervous that I wouldn't like them as much as the picture, but I absolutely love them. 

About one of the bears Teddy Doodle Dandy - he was the first bear my husband picked out and bought on his own for himself.  He chose an artist bear (the artist is Sandy Dineen, who is really nice); I thought TTers would like that he chose an artist bear.  He likes patriotic bears. 

I've had them for a couple of days now, but I wanted to wait to post when I had pictures.  I know how much everyone likes pictures. 

Joseph and Lotti are with some of my other bears in the pics and in front of our Christmas tree in one.  My husband wrote the captions for the pictures.

Hi Chrissie, how cute to see Joseph and Lotti with all their new friends - they look like they've made themselves feel right at home.  I'm so happy that they have such a loving new home and that they're together.  I loved the captions that Scott wrote, especially about Joseph and the glamour shot     

I hope you and your human and bear family have a very special Christmas together 
Hugs
Catherine
