Lisa on the other  hand darlin, and this comes from my heart ... you have been given a gift and it is wonderful that you are sharing your knowledge  by writing for bear creations. A lot of the world outside Australia do not get the publication.
You write beautifully, your art work is beautiful and most of all you are beautiful SO BE PROUD BABE!! OF YOU!!!   
Bear hugs and smiles :hug:

NOW this is what happens when you are sneakily peaking at teddy talk when you should be working. The rest of the world sees you.
That absolutely spun me out. I had just hopped on the computer to have a peak at the resent topics. I am currently working on a costume for a girl bear and thought... might have a break and catch up on the lastest topics and theres  'The Mouats' and  ' Best Dressed Bears".     :redface:   
This technology stuff is way to clever...

Ashlee was in bed when I saw this, so I have just ran down the hallway going ..."ASH YOU AWAKE"... like me she is shocking with going to sleep so she has just seen the post and was gobbed smacked her jaw was sitting on the floor. WOT A CRACK UP... she is sitting with me now and is giggling.. hehehe

Best Dressed Bears Mar 28, 2006

Yeah I got my new issue too.  I saw the article Lisa wrote too. Lisa it came out fine, you are too hard on yourself. :clap:

Best Dressed Bears Mar 28, 2006

Here is a more recent pic of Ash. The shot in the profile was taken a little while ago.. Ashlee is 11 and she is very creative also. Ash creates adult costume jewellery and she sells to three shop here in Melbourne.    I am so very proud of her. If it wasnt for Ashlee pushing me I wouldnt be making bears she named the business Best Dressed Bears.  Ashlee is extremely bright and is so very creative.

ahhh that would be the schitsophrinic and so am I.... coming out in you  (please no-one take offense just teasing Lisa) it is very normal to have the others helping you ...     : hehehe(                                     

Best Dressed Bears Mar 28, 2006

Ashlee bought herself a puppy in January with her jewellery money savings. We were out shopping together looking for tiles..we (David husband, Ash and  I) were creating a family mosaic, something we have all contributed to and something that we can keep  forever as a family heirloom. Whilst we were out we went past a pet shop and there was a puppy. Ash sayed  I would love to buy that puppy!! So I sayed to her if you have enough money you can buy the pup; but you have to look after it; he will be your responsibility.
WELLL she had enough money and the puppycame home with us.  He was named after our adventure and his name is Tiler. He is a beautiful little pup who has fitted in here perfectly. ohhhh and Ash has continued to look after him... she didnt enjoy the pooper scooper bit though... hehehe but as we discussed he is her responsibity.

AWWW Ashlee takes after mommy   That is too awesome!  I hope when I have kids one of them is artistic   CONGRATS GALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karen, love the bear in your new avatar

Best Dressed Bears Mar 28, 2006

Here is Tiler now. He is a gorgeous little dog he is Pomeranian crossed with a Cairn Terrier , he is very smart already sitting, staying, fetching and only four months old Ashlee is wrapped with her new best friend.

kbonsall Mar 28, 2006

what a gorgeous dog!!!! I have two poms   I never saw a mix like this! He is too cute!!! Sounds very bright too!!!

Best Dressed Bears Mar 28, 2006

Thanks Lisa and Karen
Ash is a bright kid and and she is very thoughtful of others. We have never treated her like an only child. There is a revolving door of kids coming and going from our home and  she is angel but every now and again her halo slips and that is so normal and she gets into the same amount of trouble as any other kid does.
I try and include her in as much as I can with the creating of the bears. I ask her opinion and she is definately creative. Ash co-ordinates colours amazingly well.... she shocks me sometimes... she  also lives in a home that resemble Spotlight (Fabric and Craft Store in Australia) Ash knows that if she wants to do arty farty stuff, it is always here in the house. Other kids think our home is a giant art room.
hehehe.
We are truely blessed and we have a very happy life.

Kerrie thats a lovely photo of Ashlee and her pup. :clap:

Lisa, I wish I had a Koala in my backyard, but that was a lovely friend that I met in Ballarat wildlife park a few years ago. He was very photogenic. :dance:

Best Dressed Bears Mar 28, 2006

Oh he has us wrapped around his little paw. He just has such a happy smiling face....yeah I know a smiling dog??? BUT HE DOES!!!!

Best Dressed Bears Mar 28, 2006

Do you live in Ballarat???

rufnut Mar 28, 2006

Hi Kim,
Here is a pic of Ashlee and I at last years Gold Coast International Teddy Bear Fair. This event was held at the Jupitors Casino in Sunny Queensland, Australia in June 2005. It is being held again this year in June 2006. It is an awesome show.
My Mum, Ash and I fly up  from Melbourne for the show and we extend on for a couple of days holiday. It is an amazing show.
You should come over and do one of the Aussie shows. There is another show on in Brisbane, Queensland in September.(I will try and post the info..... this is also an open invitation for all you folks who would like to visit Australia.... WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU AND YOUR CREATIONS IN PERSON   hint hint wink wink nudge nudge
Bear hugs and smiles :hug:

Wonderful article. You must be very pleased and proud. :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:   Your daughter is gorgeous!  Cute doggie too. :hug:

Eileen Mar 28, 2006

Congratulations, Kerrie! On the article too! Your Ashley and Tiler are both beautiful pups.

Well, of COURSE dogs smile.

Lisa--totally understood. I would ply you with wine if I could, but it's a bit of a walk from here.

I'm so shy of showing my stuff that Iwas  accused of being 'afraid of success', whatever that means, when  I displayed a quilt in a local shop, and everyone went wild for it. It's not fear of criticism or success or anything like that. I just hate being fussed over. I can't stand going to beauty parlors, nearly die of misery when being fitted for a mother-of-the-bride dress, and nothing but nothing would ever tempt me into a spa!
