I'm doing the sharing this time of this months Bear Creations :lol:
In the last post we agreed to let eveyone see their issues first to not ruin the surprise, so that being done, here goes! 

Firstly we have Hayley's project bear Leilani.  Isn't she gorgeous!!!  I think she is so cute in her hula outfit!  This is Hayley's debut feature and I am so excited and happy for you Hayley!  :dance:   You have done such a fabulous job :clap: 
I think Leilani looks like shes ready to go on vacation with you  bear_tongue

And our Karen has an advert shown here too, beautiful bear Karen  bear_innocent

And our Lisa Rosenbaum has her regular feature on making a start in the bear industry.  I love reading your entries Lisa and your cartoons are so adorable!  Thanks for giving us all such terrific advice  bear_flower

And lastly, my profile which I was excited to see!  If you have worked on a profile or project you understand the work that goes into it,  so its so wonderful to see all that hard work in print!  I wasn't expecting it out until Christmas time, so it was a happy surprise for me bear_original

Sarah thank you for taking the time to post ... I have found that the article has been great for me ... I did a show at the weekend and I was suprised at how many people said they had seen the profile... and I sold the two biker bears as well as Woolley and Latte and orders for other bears... I hope that it worked well for you also..Haley your bear is lovely.

Wow!  What a giant armful of talent!  Those articles look spectacular (wish I could read them too) and I'm so proud of and happy for all of you who appear.  I wish I could get ahold of one of those issues myself (no clue how to get one here in Cali); it's so fun to read thru magazines and say, "I KNOW this person; isn't her/his work GREAT?!"

I haven't been online for awhile so just wanted to say thanks for all the positive comments about the magazine. And I was more than happy to share,no probs bear_original  I wish magazines were easier to obtain world wide!!  I hate it when I miss out on TB&F bear_sad  If anyone wants anything just let me know,  I'll be off to get them on Friday I think.  Or, if anyone wants a larger scan, just PM me  bear_thumb

Patsy well done with your sales!!!  I'm thrilled for you, your bikers are so cool  bear_thumb  (wish there was a Fonzie smilie lol)  Magazine work is so terrific for business, I think we have a wonderful group of collectors here in Australia.  But besides the business aspect, I think that sharing your story is a wonderful way to connect with people...even if you don't make a sale, its a great feeling when you get emails that say thanks for sharing, that they have been inspired to craft again, or inspired to carry on regardless of what life throws in your way..it just makes it all more worth while when you touch someone...its been really nice.

Hayley, am looking out for your next profile in Home Spun...is that out soon? 

Thanks again everyone!
xx Sarah

I love ABC! Congratulations to all of you. I've ordered the magazine for several years from various sources on the internet, but by the time I get them, they'd be an issue or two behind. Sandra gave me the source of a distributor in Canada and this is my second year of subscription from them. The cost is a bit less than ordering a subscription directly from Australia.

I had to call and request the last issue, 13-3, as they said it had been mailed in October and by December I still hadn't gotten the magazine. So, as usual, I'm confused...The current issue listed on the Woodland site is 12-6, and the one you highlight, Sarah, is 12-2. Now I'm waiting on 13-4.

So, which issue is the latest one you've received? I know the Canadian distributor is later getting the magazine out than those who get it in Australia, but I'm always wondering when the lastest one was mailed out.

I love these magazines and I look through my older one frequently.
