What a lovely surprise to check my email and find the email announcing the January 2009 Webzine. The article is great. Many thanks for giving me the opportunity to be featured. I wish you, and Bearsandbuds great achievements in 2009.

To coin a British expression, I am "gobsmacked" by the ad you put together and all of the highights for our coming British Collectors Tour.

Thanks again for your outstanding work.

Oh...............my.................GAWD!!!!  Just got the etui from Pattie and it is GORGEOUS!!!!! I only own one other of Pattie's bears, so you can imagine how tickled to death I am to see that there are THREE of her bears in this box!  One on top, and 2 inside as pincushions!!  (altho......ouch!  lol)  I never win anything, (altho I can't say that anymore, hehe) so this was such a wonderful surprise.  Just wanted to let you know it got here, it is an absolute treasure, and I am just over the moon about it! 

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the beautiful article on my bears! In this economically challenged time, it couldn't possibly be more appreciated. Of course, I love that you included photos of my kids!

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart,

Thank you for the wonderful article on me and another great issue of Bears & Buds!

I enjoy you webzine far more than any "hard copy" magazine.  I quit subscribing to the two US 'biggies' I found them repetitive and far too many commercial bear companies featured. I thought the whole idea of these magazines was to promote and feature bear artists, not some offshore enterprise. Whoops! did that sound preachy? Again, thanks, and I can't wait to read every article in this months issue. Who knows where that might lead me creatively next month!

Note from the Sweepstakes Winner

Hi Sue
Wow, they are absolutely gorgeous! What beautiful bears, you are very talented. Thank you very much, they will take pride of place in my hug. I will take a photo of them and put a link on my blog to your bears too. Would you like to send me a banner link for your website or shall I just choose a pic?

Have a great day,

Have had a few emails about Jack & Jill & a lot of traffic on my website too. Glad it has brought a lot of traffic to B&B's that makes it worth while. Thank you for doing sweepstakes.

Jack n Jill were August's Sweepstake Give-away prize.

I wanted to thank you for running the URSA competition. You are doing a fine job in supplying support by sending out email reminders and also easy to use banners and text.  I am very excited and happy to have all three of my bears in the final round.

I thanked you for the Bears and Buds article. You did a fanastic job and the way you condensed my "ramblings" to the perfect length while keeping the essence of how I began making bears and how I feel about my bears and my collectors is nothing short of amazing!

I've sent a link to everyone on my email list and I encouraged them all to visit Bears and Buds and to join if they are not already members.

Thank you so much!

Lots of hugs,

Mary Goerge

Yes, I would love to be apart of Bears and Buds for another year!  I've found it great exposure for my little bears.  Thank you for all the hard work you do with the webzine.

I must say, what a wealth of information in the b2b section and the collector's corner is " Wow!" I don't know where to start reading. It all looks so wonderful. You are doing a tremendous job. I enjoyed your magazine before I signed on as a professional member but now I'll enjoy it even more.
Thanks again Valerie!

Have a great afternoon.

Finding teddy bear shows, using Bears&Buds' calendar has been a benefit to me.

Meeting the artists and seeing the bears in person is wonderful.
