Sounds great.

Does anyone know if there´s a magazine
for Folk Art, primitives,  and so on.

I have seen some items on ebay: primitive dolls, hearts
valentine stuff and so on and I wondering about if
there would be a magazine about these thing who would have patterns
and so on?

We must do..

We put our souls in them right 
as long as we don´t walk with them in a string on the streets like dogs.. :crackup:

Congralulations to everyone  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

She is so cute Gemma.
What a sweet face 

WHY do you collect teddy bears?

I collect artist bears because I find theme adorable and cute and can´t resist.

HOW did you discover the (adult) world of teddy bear collecting?

I went to a miniature and bears fair to by miniature stuff - went home with a bear kit and lots of business cards from exhibitors.

WHAT kind of bears do you collect... and WHY?

I´m a bearmaker to, so I collect bears that are different from my own. Bears that 'speaks' to me. Bears that I just most have...

WHERE do you buy your bears?
At fairs, on artists websites, on Ebay.

HOW do you display your bears?

I have them in my studio close to where I work with my bears so I can see them all the time.

Hi Orackle Shelli.
Thank you so much for bringing this up.

I´m not that good to write long writing in English, but I hope you can understand it anyway 

I was going to participate in Gina´s swap and are very surprice and sorry over all this discussion, as I thought it
would have been fun. And I wouldn´t had had any problem with a swap with anybody. That´s the fun part as we all love bears. And isn´t it  just for fun ? 
I to agree in what Chrstine wrote:

My whole personal philosophy on swaps is that it is totally about friendship and sharing.  It is about wanting to make something for someone else, perhaps someone in another country, purely as an act of friendship and giving.

As for your question, I totally agree in your answers.
(can´t write long answers, but I have read it carefully  )

I think swaps are great and I do hope all this will clear it up.

I´m using Bearpile, but with no luck
so..   I´m not really a fan 

I had to try this too:

my name was " Zippy Girdlefanny"   

- I really like this one: "Bramblerose Brandybuck"

This is to much fun  :crackup:  :crackup:
