Hi everyone, sorry I've not been around too much for a while, I've been a very busy bee with my bears and my new venture creating Prints and Cards of my illustrations. Thank you to all of those that have been so kind with your comments and supporting me, it really means the world, you're the best :hug: :hug:

I'm really excited to tell you all that a selection of my Prints and Cards will be part of a new Art Gallery opening in the Lancaster, PA area in the States. There is a fun Gallery opening this Saturday, May 2nd if any of you happen to live nearby. You can find the link and details of Hatch Studio and Gallery through my blog -

thank you so much, you are all so kind with your words :hug: :hug: Peter, gosh my Granny would be so proud, even when I made hand made cards when I was little she used to say, you should sell these on Oxford Street in London!! She was so encouraging, I wish she could see this, I hope she is watching by along with my Mum, cheering me on, I like to think so... bear_ermm bear_flower

Catherine,
I'm sure your mum and grandma are watching. I felt the same way when I had an article about my bears in Teddy Bear times, a few years ago, because my parents were British. Sometimes I feel like my mum is very close still and it always makes me feel wonderful.

hugs,

Brenda
