Hi Everyone,
July is an exciting month within the webpages of bears&Buds.
Spotlight is on Elaine Douglas, Grannie's Memory Bears, and her expressions of love sewn into her bears.
Meet Gloria Chan, founder of the Hong Kong Teddy Bear Association.
See a live panda being born in a video.
It's like almost being there when you go on the England Tour with Terry & Doris Michaud.
Tribute to Those Who Serve along with all the new creations coming from the studios of our Professional Artist Members - photos galore!
And.... drum roll please..... It is the beginning of the first round of voting in the 4th Annual URSA Awards Competition.
Cast your votes for the bear you like best in each of the categories now and until July 31.
The top three winners in each category will then advance to the final round of voting where they vie for the prestigious URSA Major - Best Overall Award.
Your votes determine the winners.
