I've always said that I wanted to be known just for my work and I shunned photos. At Disney I had a great collector of the cats come and take me out to dinner and on some rides. I was so greatful if stubborn at first  bear_rolleyes (I do this show alone and am usually too busy to see the park.) Anyway this is a photo she took as we were exiting a ride. I looked at it and thought; what a perfect metaphor for what it's like to make your living as a teddy bear artist! Always on the edge in the Shark's mouth  bear_ermm  So this is a photo I'll use. I hope it makes someone smile.

Sooo in the shark's MOUTH!

That is so funny!  :crackup:
And Karen, you're one lovely lady!
Eventually, I will have to post my photo too. Don't have a recent one and most of the time when I look at photos of me I'll say, "That don't look like me at all!" I guess I see myself differently than the camera does!  bear_tongue

Interesting!  You have the same cute, wide-eyed, mischievious look in your face -- twinkly eyes and all -- as your sweet cats!

A lovely photo, Karen; thanks for posting it. bear_original

:photo: What a lovely pic!!  And what a background to it  bear_happy  Thanks for sharing it  :hug:  bear_flower

I know how you feel about the photos...I'm always embarrassed by mine now that I've 'grown up'...or should that be 'out'  bear_whistle   It seemed more bearable having my pic with Blossom instead  bear_wub

bear_tongue  I have to admit, I always think my photos make me look goofy  bear_whistle  AND then I think; hmmm.... maybe I am sort of goofy! Not that I'm stupid but I do live in my own imagination world most of the time. I can get serious and practical, but I slip into "Kid" very easily. I guess the tip-off was that whenever I go to a friend's dinner or party their kids pull me away to play with toys or a game video(I'm pretty good at them ;-)
Sarah! You are so right. You're a Disney Honorary Member ;-> I was in the mouth of a Shark from Nemo  bear_thumb
Debbie, You have to be kidding?! You look so cute in your photo! Not goofy like me  bear_tongue

I'm so glad you posted your picture. I love to see people so I can imagine their faces when I read their posts. It's almost like sitting and talking with the person. It's a cute picture in the sharks mouth, but also you are very pretty, too.

Ahhh...that would be my best photo with me and Blossom  bear_whistle   You should have seen the others....they got pretty goofy between the two of us  :crackup:

I'm with the others, I think you look wonderfully mischievous in that pic ~ and you're pretty to boot  bear_flower   There's nothing wrong with being young at heart.  I LOVE to play with the toys, and colour in colouring books.    bear_tongue
