Hi Everyone!
Another fabulous issue of Bears&Buds is 'hot off the press!'
You'll enjoys wonderful articles from our contributing writers, Cindy McGuire, Bobbie Ripperger and Terry Michaud along with news about live bears, videos and current teddy bear events.
The spotlight this month is on our featured artist: Joanne Livingston of Desert Mountain Bears from Phenix AZ. She has a positive attitude and that is bringing her success. You'll enjoy getting to know her through our web pages and seeing her fabulous creations.
Check out the Kid's Corner, The Past where you'll find previous article archived. Find a Teddy Bear near you on the Show Calender page!
The winner of the July/August Sweepstakes Give-Away is Shelly from Ontario Canada. Congratulations Shelly and special thanks to Sally "Skipper" Root of Andruins Bears.
Look for our next Sweepstakes beginning middle September.
There is still time to cast your one last vote in the URSA Awards Competition Finals. Click on the URSA Icon and pick your one favorite. I know it will be hard as there are so many creative and exciting bears/buds to choose from. Voting ends 9/10/2009 and winners will be announced in the October issue of Bears&Buds.
Thank you to all our Professional Members who submitted their wonderful teddy bears and exciting buds! The applause is for YOU!
There is a lot to read, so grab a cup of java, sit back and enjoy!
