Hi Everyone!

I just had to pop in to say hi!  I have not fallen off the edge of the earth :lol:. 
I am SO behind in posts now I don't know if I'll ever really catch up...

My daughter left for the summer which always gets me down...Hubby had taken some time off work... which means I don't get nearly as much done myself :rolleyes:... and we went to the NASCAR races in Chicago, and last weekend the Renaissance Faire.

Been trying to get myself re-organized so I can get ready for the Oct bear show... hbby laughs and says one of my hobbies is "organizing"... note that does NOT mean "staying organized" LOL!  Seriously though.. some always sticks

And- although I should not have spent the time on it... I TOTALLY revamped my website.

And of course, been working on bears :D

Gotta run... but I MISSED YOU ALL!!!!!!  I'll be back and hope to start catching up tomorrow!

Big hugz and kisses to all my bear sisters,
(whoops!  forgot there's some guys here too... brothers too )

Hi Laura.  Boy, have you been missed.  I understand all too well the depression of seeing kids leave to the "other" spouse for part or all of the summer; please write or call if you want to talk more.

I noticed your new website just yesterday, when I was checking out TEDDY TALK sites on a lark.  Beautiful!!!

Welcome home.

I was wondering where you have been!  I was wondering where the "shrinky dink gal" was - that is how I remember you!  LOL  Website is looking good, I love the little teddy graffics!  I really need a website, but dont know where to start!:D anywho, glad to see you back!:D

Laura Lynn Banner SponsorJul 20, 2005

Awww!  Thanks EVERYONE!   Shelli, Thank you!!!   I know you go thru the same thing... I remember what happend with poor Toby   I'm feeling much better after all of those hugs... and laughing ... hey Marie.. I'm VERY ticklish   Thank you all also for all nice words about my website :)

Dilu... "short & pithy" LOL!!!  I also was thinking about your email... where you were a bit confused about the first couple of pages...  I made a couple of changes to the main page.  Hope it's easier to follow :)

If it's NOT... please ya'll let me know!  I changed it so you have to click "Enter" instead of automatically being switched - so you know it IS my website :)

Kim you crack me up!  "shrinky dink gal" LOL!!  As for not knowing where to begin with a website.. I've found that if you just start somewhere.. you 'll end up there LOL!  What I mean is you may not start with what you've pictured... but you just keep tweaking here and there and it gradually becomes what you want.  Just start slow and simple...

thanks about the graphics... although I cannot take credit!  I knew I did NOT have time to learn to do that too!  So I searched on google and found this artist - Helena.  She's a very sweet Swedish artist currently living in Norway.  There's a link to her site from my website at the bottom of each page.

Well, gotta run (again!)  and take one of my daughter's friends to the mall.  (it's her birthday)
