It's Here! The May/June Edition of Teddy Bear and Friends Magazine has arrived.
The Toby Industry's Choice Winners begin on page 42 and voting has begun!
How fun! I hope you'll enjoy seeing all the winners and will help choose the 2008 Public Choice Winners by mailing in your voting ballots. Every submission is entered to win a Teddy Bear and Friends limited-edition Steiff bear and a free one-year subscription or renewal.
Welcome
Thank you for stopping by. Every bear has been crafted with individual tender loving care and attention. The bears are created from hand drawn original patterns and given airbrushed accents, the finest imported German mohair fur, glass eyes, hand stitched pearl thread nose and wool or ultrasuede paw pads.
I hope you find the friend you were looking for, a gift for that friend or family member who loves hugs or just see a teddy that makes you smile. What ever your reason for stopping by, the bears and I thrilled you stopped by. Maybe you'd like to grab a cup of a coffee or tea (with lots of honey of course) and visit a bit.
Thank you all for your continued support and wonderful comments. I'm honored to see Bliss among such beautiful artist bears and friends! I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to continue doing what I love.
