Happy New Year Greetings Everyone!
We are off and running for the New Year! The January issue of Bears&Bud's, your Online Teddy Bear Webzine, has been published!
Featured in this month's magazine is my trip to China and the HKTBA Awards Presentation in Kowloon, Hong Kong. What an honor it was to be included in this spectacular event.
While on vacation I captured photos of teddy bears and real bears begging for food at the Great Wall in Beijing.
Come and share my adventures within our web pages.
This month's Sweepstake Give-Away features a colorful calendar by the HKTBA. We'll be giving six away....you could be one of the lucky winners! Register now.
Terry and Doris Michaud are sponsoring a "Re-purposing" contest. It is open to artists, bear makers and collectors. Show how you have changed a bear and changed its 'purpose'.
Our Professional Artists are starting off the New Year with their new and amazing creations! You can see them all in the What's New Section.
Wishing for a special bear? Check out The Wish List Page and buy directly from the artist.
The News Section is packed full of interesting reports, links and videos. You'll enjoy reading other articles featuring Black Bear Cubs, Polar Bears and organizations that gift teddy bears. We share many bear related links that we find so interesting; we know you will too!
Follow the artists to the shows, meet them in person. Find a teddy bear show near you by checking the Show Calendar Pages. Couldn't come to a show? You'll enjoy following the activities in the Show Review Pages.
Visit the Kid's Corner with lots of cool stuff and you don't have to be a kid to enjoy the informative pages. You'll find numerous Panda, bear and animal videos and links.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and sit back and enjoy this wonderful new issue!
