Teddy Bear and FriendsWhew, good to know I can open the dolls. They're too cute to leave in the packages. I need to go look around Target or Linens 'n Things and find a little display shelf for them.
I thought the Witch of the East was a weird choice, too. Give me a flying monkey any day. :)
Cheers!

Storytime BearsI get excited when Micky D's does this promotion, the whole series is so cute, they have discovered a way to combine my favorite things :
Shop/collect little dolls/EAT all in one little box , now if they could just stuff Johnny Depp or Colin Firth in that box I could die a happy woman 
LuxembearsOh Mindy, I wanted to say that my two latest editions to my collection were both bears that I saw in advertisements in the most recent issue of TB and F. I was thrilled to be able to get them both. One was from England the other Canada. 
Jodi, you crack me up! Johnny Dep in a Happy Meal bag!! They do have some neat toys at times...but not quite that nice!
I have no idea how many I have. Most of them are not high quality b/c I've been collecting since I was little. But I have gotten a lot more artist bears since I've joined TT (although not enough ). For artists, I have Catherine (Bumpkin), Daphne (Back Road), Carolyn (Draffin) Marie (Kiprie), Lisa (Oz Matilda), Sandy Dineen, Sue Coe, Koto Bears, and more I can't think of right now. For manufacturers, I have Steiff, Merrythought, Deans, Boyds, Hermann, Muffy, etc. I buy what I like. Unfortunately, my list of bears I want is bigger than my collection. 
Wow, 42 bears on your bed, Judi! In addition to your bears, do you have any cows (besides the real ones on your farm)?
I've lost count!
Hugs Lyn :dance:
LuxembearsYes Chrissie, I do have a cow that I made from mohair. She is quite large. Over 3 feet. I made her from mohair and gave her glass deer eyes and mohair eyelashes. I designed and made her dress. I just cut everything to fit her with out a pattern.....I winged it. Her hooves are ultra seued and airbrushed. I made her chair too.
She wears the pearl necklace and earrings that I wore for my wedding along with a blue sapphire Titanic replica necklace.
I wish I had a better photo of her. She sits high up on a plnt shelf over looking our dining room.
I made tis cow before ever making a mohair bear. I did make another cow much smaller that I gave to my sister. It was lost in the fire along with my sister.
Newelley.BearsI haven't counted the bears in my collection lately, but it's gotta almost be 300 by now as it was 200 a couple years ago. I have 13 Steiff Bears including mini's, club pieces and replicas. I also have many artist bears : 11 from Cheryl Ross of Cherbears, 3 Winey Bears by Sally Winey, 2 Sleepy Hollow Bears by Anja McGowan, and one bear from Susan Lauhon, Susan Redstreake Geary, Deborah Stewart, Sue Ann Holcomb, Donna Lee Wilson and a few unknown artist bears. I have manufactured bears from Deans of England, Grisly of Germany, Bear Essentials by Effanbee, MANY MANY from Boyd's (Plush, Mohair, Resin), Gund, Russ Berrie, and about 150-175 bears from TY's line of Beanie Babies, Attic Treasures, Classic. I also have an OLD Wendy Boston Basil Brush Fox from the 1950's. I have many others that I can't list due to time constrants as well...LoL
ToadBriarKim I seriously love the pirate flag you have, is that a state / town flag??????
You don't have one bear, I feel bad for you that you didn't even get to know if they got the bear. :(
Thank you! I NEED to let it go, but you know.
Hahahahahah @ pirate flag - well I saw it in the choices so how could I possibly choose anything else??
Kim I just realized who you are, I LOVE your work!!!!!!!!!!!!
:redface: (me?? gosh) it took me way too long to realize hippie bear avatar jodi = storytime mousies artist, lol
By that time you'd been so nice & approachable on the forum I hadn't a chance to be shy & intimidated by yer talent 'in person'
Storytime BearsKim if I know nothing else about you , that fact that you picked the pirate flag leads me to believe we would get along really well.
I had a whippet once and your art work with them in it, is just amazing and of course I love the mice pictures too. I love the Toad picture you have on now ebay right now (everyone go check it out it's Item number: 20004610350), I live in a very wooden area and I have tree frogs and toads all over the place , they are so cool they are nature's pest control. Please tell me you love Harry Potter or the movie Willow and I know we could be best friends.
Hugs
Jodi
