A big THANK YOU to Kristine for letting us have our C'ms party at her place.
18 ladies came (2 unfortunately weren't well). We had such a fun time opening the Kris Kringles, enjoying each others company and of course indulging in great C'mas fare. It was such a shame to have to cut into the Teddy Bear cake, but it did taste fantastic Thank you again everyone for supporting us during the year & looking forward to getting back together on the 21st January

To get over the shock that it is only four weeks to Christmas, we have 20% off all our goodies (not including postage)on our website www.teddysbits.com but you must put CMAS2012 into the discount code only available til Christmas Day

MELBOURNE BEAR SHOW

What a fantastic show we had last weekend at Berwick.  Thank you Melissa and everyone for all the hard work that was put in to make the show so great, and everyone for coming and supporting us. It is certainly worth the effort of coming down. Thank you Leanne, for helping out
It was great to catch up with all the traders and meeting new ones as well

A huge thank you to Alph  Gann for getting my van fixed, for some reason as soon as I arrived at the show my van decided it had had enough and the battery gave up the qhost. I was so thankful that I had arrived as I also had Susan Leigh's and Wendys Gosford's goodies as well.

Alph just said "leave it with me" and after so many phone calls etc my van remarkably started when it was time to go.
