Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Are you talking about river rocks? like rocks from a fishtank?  I am afraid I am not sure what granulat is...

Also, because this seller sells a lot, I wouldnt expect one on one communication like him saying that it was shipped to you (usually the more people sell, the less one on one communication happens)... i know from experience - I use to contact people when things were sent but I sell too much and have too much else on my plate to contact every individual

I wouldn't panic yet... Sometimes when you go into your items "I Won" if you right click, sometimes it will have whether or not an item was shipped.... Was it sent priority mail? if yes, I still wouldn't panic yet... If it was parcel post, be prepared to wait... I bought an item from Florida about a week and a half before my vacation to Florida and it took over 2 weeks, TWO WEEKS! to get here (the gal had tracking info on it and it showed that for some reason, the post office sent it out to Denver Colorado!  :doh: ).... Anywho, don't panic yet... I would panic if you don't see it by Friday (that is if it was sent Priority Mail)... but dont jump the gun and post negative feedback so quickly - once it is posted, it can't be removed.... I would wait a day or two and if still no sign, contact the seller first ... if no answer, file an unreceived item dispute (but I think you have to do it after so many days have passed but within 45 days)... WHEEW... i said a lot and hope you got something out of my ramblings LOL 

I don't leave feedback until I get feedback because when feedback is left, then I know that the item was received.  Also, I sell things OTHER than bears and I don't feel I should have to leave feedback when people don't return the favor... I have sold things and NEVER gotten feedback when I have left it and that isn't fair to me then....

I get my boxes from USPS... but Uline is a good place to order from as well!

I leave feedback AFTER the buyer leaves me feedback --- I use to do it the other way around

beautiful bear!!!       I was just wondering last night where you were....   

Dilu, if I had the moolah, I would buy him back and do a giveaway from my website for my customers (but I am a little short right now so that, unfortunately, won't be happening  )

I guess the reason that this bothered me so much is 1) I've never had this happen before... 2) I put so much heart, soul and work into one of my bears and even adopting them to their original homes is a bit difficult (I guess you girls can all relate   )  but then I think of fate, what is meant to happen, will happen  

I try not to be hard on myself and try to think positive and am truly a genuine person who makes bears not for the money, after all if it was about the money, I would have quit long ago!  This is a hobby, a past time, a way to have art in my life... and to bring my love of art out of my heart and soul and give part of that to my customers means the world to me....

Debbie, my initial reaction was to feel very hurt and I am very over-critical on myself and very hard on myself but I am trying to think positive.... If Pookie wasn't meant to be with her, he wasn't meant to be there....  Like Chrissi said, turning lemons into lemonade  :hug:

And I was thinking, who knows, I might get more customers off of this resale! 

You girls are right... and I would buy Pookie back, that was my initial reaction but I don't have the money at this time and besides, I am sure whoever gets him this time WILL keep him! LOL... I hope!  :doh:

Aren't you to sweet for words!!!  :hug:  :hug:

I agree, the pics are HORRIBLE!! YIKES!  I just hope that he goes to a good home and STAYS there! poor fella!

Thank you girls, I kinda had mixed emotions, one of which was self-doubt and me thinking maybe my bears aren't good enough (I am REALLY, REALLY hard on myself, if you dont know that already about me LOL)

OH MY GOODNESS, KIM! ITS GORGEOUS!!! I didn't know you were a painter as well (gosh, girl, you've got some major talent!)

Just was browsing ebay and my first bear that is reselling is listed     Dunno whether to be hurt, sad, disappointed or what... or am I just over-reacting?

OOHHHH my poor pookie!

LOL... I am back now, Tracy   I have some things I need to take care of but will post pics within the next few days

No problem using my pics, Daphne (sorry, was in FL for 2 weeks so I am jumping in a bit late LOL)....

I bake my noses with a cotter pin in them (I curl them and then press the unbaked clay around them and bake).

Dilu makes bloomers I have two of her gollys with them! (too cute!) 

P.S. - I will add more pics when I get back from vacation (my camera is burried somewhere in my suitcases! LOL)

I am such a lucky ducky!!!  :dance:  :dance:

i love this bear to bits, Tracy! I can't believe how much incredible detail is packed into this little gal!  I think you are well on your way with your crocheting! (I struggle with crocheting myself!  I am trying to get better!  )

I would suggest the spray bottle thing - that is the ONLY thing that will teach Max (my dog) not to do things!

When I was doing real fur bears, I just did fimo clay noses... It is hard enough for me to do noses without doing them through so many layers LOL... my hands thanked me for it too!  :crackup:

Funny you are all talking about epidurals... My mom told me that I shouldnt get one! YIKES! My hubby was almost 10 lbs when he was born! YIKES! I was just over 6 lbs... My mom said that if I eat normally and not pig out that I should still have a small baby (when the time comes - but that is being worked on     the cat's out of the bag!    too bad getting pregnant isn't as easy as I thought it would be!) Anywho, my mom had all four of us COMPLETELY natural! COMPLETELY!  and only had one of the four of us in a hospital! I dunno if I am that brave!  Hey, I'll take the wimpy way out, no problem for me!   

Thank you girls for your kind words and prayers - really need them right now ... I am trying to stay positive but I just feel like my world is crumbling down around me   

I should add, we are not having a relationship problem, just dont want to go into detail...     

My husband and I are going through a rough spot right now (don't want to go into detail)... we really could use your good thoughs, good vibes and prayers to help us through this....       

Very upset and don't know where to turn...
