Hello Everyone,
Well, I broke down and bought a needlefelting kit. It took me 3 days to make this fella. This is Lenard and his teddy mouse Snooky. What do you think for my first try?
Any words of wisdom on needlefelting?

It was a fabulous show! I had an absolute blast meeting everyone!! I walked away with a bear from Wendy Anderson and one from Edie!! I love them both to death and can't wait to photograph them. I even picked up a book and some materials to try my hand at needle felting - wish me luck or send me BAND-AIDS!!! Krista, I am still dreaming of your Koala Bear - he was just stunning!! Sales were good, but the company was even better.
Hugs,
Julie
Hello Mary,
The Show is in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Should be loads of fun!!!!

I just wanted to say that if you are planning on attending the Calgary Show and you would like to order some cards or calendars, please let me know before the show. I will get your order ready for you and have it for you at the show. Prices of the cards are going up at the show from $3.50 to $4.25 (including tax) each as paper prices have gone up. This way you will keep the price and save the shipping!!
Hugs,
Julie
(This is not only for teddy bear artists - this is for collectors as well that may be attending the show)
AWWWWWW.... Tammy!! I wish you were coming to the show as well. I would have loved to have met you in person!!
Big Hugs,
Julie
MMMMMMMM... maybe I should bring "Barrie" the cookie bear, as he's my favorite!!!!
Hugs,
Julie
Sounds good Edie and Krista!! I'm getting so excited I really must clean out my van

Hello Ladies,
I tried to make reservations at 7pm, with no luck!!! I begged and begged, but they absolutely will not take reservations. They say that 7pm is the busiest time of the day for them so I was wondering if 6:30pm would work? Although, I would ask those that are coming with me to be ready just before 6pm (If that works). I was thinking of being there for 6pm to get in line for a table and then by time 6:30pm rolls around we will definitely be seated when the rest joins us. So far there are 8 of us but I would ask to seat 9 just in case! What do you think?
Hugs,
Julie
WOW... quite the responses on the two pictures. Thank you to everyone for helping Chloe out with the one that she would like for the calendar.
I hope to get the calendar to the printer by Friday, so if you would like to order a calendar please let me know so I print enough. As this is my first calendar, I can only afford to print a little bit over what is on hold.
Hugs,
Julie
WOW Tracy! Chloe is one lucky lady!! The bear is just stunning!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

This bear was so much fun to work with as I just loved the colour and the size of the bear. The outdoor shot took me quite a few tries to get the lighting right, but I am rather proud of the way it turned out.
Chloe, thank you so very much for allowing me to borrow your bear for the photo shoot. There are just so many wonderful bears out there! Congratulations to all of you that make these wonderful creatures!!
Hugs,
Julie
These two bears of Tammy's were getting very impatient waiting for their photo shoot, but I was waiting for some fake snow that I ordered from the states. This stuff is amazing, it comes in powder form and then you add water. It expands to 100x its size and looks just like snow. Wonderful stuff, although I have not cleaned it up yet!!
I have fun taking pictures of all my subjects and only wished I had more time.
Thanks for the comments.
Hugs,
Julie
Thanks for the wonderful comments on the photo and Marlys bear, Petey!!
If anyone is interested in a swap for cards or prints - I am always available! Just contact me if you are interested. All bears and critters welcomed!!
Hugs,
Julie
Sage is a beautiful name Heather!!
My favourite name is SINDY with and "S". When she gets to be in her late teens, she'll love the nickname SIN - well I would anyways!!
If I were you I would have boys names on hand also, as I have heard so many stories of "We were told it was a ..... but...."
Hugs,
Julie
Petey was a swap I did with Marlys. I got Petey and she got greeting cards with Petey on them that she could give to her collectors, family, friends, etc. Her cards have her bio and contact info on them and I will be selling them through BEARS... Strike-A-Paw.
Thanks Marlys for such a wonderful opportunity to swap with you!!! :hug:
Hugs,
Julie
Krista, I am going to have a hard time staying away from your table. Maybe Heather could put me next to your table and I promise not to drool!!!!
Hugs,
Julie
Oh Krista, they are absolutely stunning!!!! WOW I can hardly wait to see them in the fur!!
Hugs,
Julie
