Hi Everyone,

I just had to tell you all that one of us (a very modest one of us I might add) has an article about her and her adorable bears on the internet at Bears & Buds' webzine. It's our own Danni Whatford and her Delartful Bears!! It's a wonderful piece about Danni with lots of bear pictures!

You really ought to have a peek at it..... http://www.bearsandbuds.com/webzine/Australia-Danni.asp

With less than a year of bear making under her belt she's really on her way!! Great article, Danni! Way to go, girl!!!!

Congratulations and Great Big Bear Hugs!!!

WOW . . . incredible writeup, Danni . . . and thanks much for the link, Daphne!!  We already know Danni as a star on our board and now a lot of other people know.  The selection of bears in the article is wonderful, but I wan't to see a pic of Danni now!!  I don't care what you look like, Danni . . . you are beautiful!!!

Daphne Jun 23, 2005

I agree, Sue Ann, we have yet to see a photo of this wonderful chick!!! Com'on Danni.... pweeeeeze?

Shelli Retired Help Advisor, Banner SponsorJun 23, 2005

Excellent article; congratulations Danni.  I know you're worked hard, participated lots, and gotten to the bottom of all your questions with hard work and effort.  You deserve every bit of recognition you get for that, and for those darling, darling little cubs of yours.

Big Congratulations on the Bears& Buds writeup!   Very charming bears you make.  I especially like the one with orangey fur and a dark face; it looks rather Aboriginal.   Thanks for mentioning your online artist friends, too.   Hope this attention gets you lots of fame and business.

Absolutely wondeful Danni! Your bears are wonderful but we already knew that! The article is very well written and the pics show off your wonderful talent. I too want to see a picture of you Girl!

Oooh you girls are so sweet.  Firstly thanks to Daphne for posting the message!!!!   Very sweet of you!

Thanks to EVERYONE who wrote!!  I must admit I did see most of the photos this morning, but needed to head out the door, so I could only write now.  I'm very pleased with the article, a little embarassed though LOL  It is lovely that you all are so supportive.

Oh okay , here's a photo of me.. *gulp* Only because I was sooo pressured into it.

Thanks everyone, you've really made my day!!!!!

Laure Jun 24, 2005

Danni, You're pretty, just as we expected.  Thanks for yeilding to the pressure.  It's so nice to have a face to go with the (famous) name.

Hi Danni,
                   I think a big "Well Done " is in order. I must admit it is nice to get some recogniyion for your work. This month I am Artist of the month on Planet Teddy Bear which is part of Teddy Bear Club International ,and I was feeling quite low before someone mailed me to say I was in it.How quickly it cheered me up.  You look so nice and its a great picture. Heres to You Danni.  Cheers.

Big Hugs from Rita xxx

Wisdom Bears Jun 24, 2005

Hi Shari,
              Welcome to Teddy Talk, I love your bear on the Avatar too. How long have you been making bears?? And where are you situated in this big world. You will love it here.

Scottish hugs from Rita xx

Shari Jun 24, 2005

Hi Girls.I'm from Canada.(Nova Scotia) I make mostly mohair bears but I can't resist the long faux furs like Sumner's.He is 24" and on ebay right now.My I.D is bearmaker11.I'm very new to this whole thing and a bit computer illiterate so bear with me.

Wisdom Bears Jun 24, 2005

Hi Shari, Where did you purchase Sumner's lovely Fax Fur then ?? I,m not great with the computer either ,but this is the place to be ,cos you can learn almost anything here. Have a nice week-end.Hugs Rita xxx

Shari Jun 24, 2005

Hi Rita:) I work in a fabric store and they bring in a few fat quarters.I just happened here last night and think it's a wonderful place to be.It'll give my husband more to complain about if I spend even more time on the computer.
  My grandfather was born in Scotland,can't tell you exactly where though.

   Blessings,Shari.

Wisdom Bears Jun 24, 2005

Well, Youre half way here already then, what a pity you don't know where he came from. Lots of Scots from the islands went to Canada years ago and I think were among the first settlers there. This group is so addictive ,you may not be able to keep away. Hugs rita xx

Daphne Jun 24, 2005

Oh Danni, you have the most contagious smile! :D
And there is a HUGE resemblance between you and your bears..... the eyes, the high forehead and I bet when you do get a serious look your expression matches your bears'!! And the ears.... not the size but the placement. You and your bears are just beautiful!

Shari, Welcome! Sumner is wonderful!! We hope you'll share more photos of your creations with us.

WARNING: This Board Is Highly Addictive!
You've arrived in the Land of the Hopelessly Crazy.... you name it, we're crazy about it.... Bears, Chocolate, Each Other... Glad you could join us!

Hugs,
