Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

I am little gobsmacked.............you are one of the nicest people on here

I have just traweled through lots of pages to find an offender and all I could find was Happy Birthdays, Congrats on Births, Happy Mothers days etc

SO :hug:  :hug:  :hug: take no notice

I do recall seeing a cruise ship though...............I would like the bod of Madonna with Jorden assets and be draped around .............ummmmmm Richard Gere (Officer & Gentleman uniform) hows that  :crackup:

He He!!! I too have just filled a survey out  :twisted:

They were totally mad to have sent me it, I complained, I too have just had a with-hold of funds and wanted to know WHY

Totally cwap answer and told them so

Lucky for me the buyer is an excellent ebayer and has left me feedback immediately, for which I am truely grateful 

Hope they don't black mark us  :crackup:  we will be all known as trouble makers 

28 um! not sure if that good or bad, I'm 41 nearly 42 

but hubby told me this week, I don't look any older than when we got married (at 21) just more tired 

After just seeing the Texas photos, this was a delight
The look on the dogs face is priceless  :crackup:

The last one bought tears, it is just so incredibly sad that such devastation can occur

Yes we do have to be thankful in the UK

:hug:  :hug: to all of Texas

Oh dear, what a terrible thing to happen to such a lovely warm hearted lady, I too have met Vicki and she is the sweetest kindess person (he may have a bad record collection but hubby is really nice as well) I can't imagine how her poor boys feel, such good polite lads

Terrible and I agree with Yvonne.................you don't think of it but we all advertise when we will be away and it seems strange, maybe just an unhappy coincidence that hubbies car was broken into as well
This is for you Vicki and hubby and the boys  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug: thinking of you

Priceless  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:

Oh Laurie, you must be so excited and scared  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:

Good Luck, hope you have a ball   

Wow, Stunning, Gorgeous

Congrats for your sister, but I am with the advice above 100%,  our first child died and when I had my daughter I had planned all Natural, in fact I had convinced myself that if I was a proper mum I would be "able to do it right this time". Well at 34 wks they scanned my hips and found they were not wide enough, so a c-section was the result and a very beautiful happy healthy girl ensued, along with it was a bad dose of post natal depression, lasting til she was about 4, its only now I look back and see my 17 year old, who's bight, funny and gorgeous and think what an idiot I was to get so hung up on a natural birth that it caused depression, I lost certainly the first year of her life (I can't remember it)

So if it is a c-section be very aware that depression is more common with c-mums and I will pray that however the baby is delivered that he/she is very healthy and brings joy to your sister 

It says "most tourists are unaware that real fur is still used"

I would think that the majority of the UK public do not know real fur is used and 50-100 bears are slaughtered each year

I like the tourists had thought that they had changed to faux fur years ago 

She is soooooooo sweet

You have my sympathies on the inches, I am only managing 6 at the mo 

:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup: Priceless and soooooooooooo true

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

They are all adorable, I could not choose betwen them     

Ah guys, thank you so much, you are all very kind  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Hello, everyone, I haven't been here much just lately, I have been so busy

I have a bear fair coming up, we have been on holiday last week and I am thrilled to be featured in TBCI this month, oh yes and my computor decided to kick me off the internet for a few days
Anyway, Kirste is such a lovely lady (TBCI editor) and I found chatting to her very easy, bears to feature were a bit of a problem as I run a little low so it was a mad panic to make a few. my picture taking had me in tears   so I plan to buy a book on how to take them, afternoon sun, shadows YUCK

Anyway hope you all like the article, and am looking forward to catching up with all the post in the next week

I'm a Talent too, more or less right but life has made me a calculated risk taker  :dance:  :dance:

Oh Melissa what a gorgeous sweetie and a little barrel, we too have a GSD.

Unfortunetly the rules of the re-homing places round here dictate that you have to be home all day, so we got our baby from a breeder. Everyone said she would be big but she ended up being a broad ar**d gel  :crackup: like the rest of us really, totally mad but only chewed the plaster in the conservatory, no shoes, althouth she does pinch them and play chase

:hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Hi Melissa, I did all mine by hand until I read on here about the operation, needed by one of our TT'rs and thought "Yikes", choice " do I sew by hand and risk cramped hands possibly an operation or try my machine and increase the length of my bear making life"

The machine won, I only do the straight bits and all faces, paw and foot pads are by hand, luckily I already had a really old hand singer (gorgeous) I find I have a lot more control with a hand cranked machine than an electric one 

Try ebay, and you will have all our US TT'rs drooling, cheap as chips here

Ella is really sweet, and don't put yourself down 

Love the matching nose, ribbon and eyes  :clap: 

Vicki, he is stunning, I do love a white bear and Marlys is right he does look like a Baggaley Bear 

I am so thrilled for you, enjoy every moment with him 

Brave lady re combine (haybine-US) :clap:

Ah Jane, hope you are soon feeling better

I think backs are an individual thing, what works for one doesn't work for others, my hubby has suffered for years and has to rise about 1 1/2 hours before going to work just to get mobile. He takes a health shop tablet called Supaflex which has helped alot, he took Arthrufen (not sure if its spelt that way) he only took it a short while cos of the side efffects

It may be worth you giving Supaflex a whirl but do make sure you go to a good health shop that will look at the drugs you take, to make sure you can have them
Good Luck x

Hi Judi, gorgeous cow and I love the bear, she has done a fantastic job  

BUT WOW, your daughter is a special young lady, to achieve so much at 11, is remarkable, she is obviously cut from her Moms cloth   

A massive congrats, I have yet to get my copy but am really looking forward to reading all about you
